21.1 tabular data
Data in a rectangular table format, where each row has an entry for each column.
Tabluar data in R are usually in a data frame or tibble.

21.2 tag
A way to mark the start and end of HTML elements.
In HTML, each element is delineated by tags that describe it. Tags usually start with the element name and optional attribute-value pairs surrounded by angled brackets, and ending with a forward slash and the name surrounded by angled brackets.
<name attribute="value">Element contents</name>For example, a paragraph in HTML is marked by "p" tags like this:
<p>Paragraph text...</p>In shiny, tags can be created with the tags() functions.
paragraph <- tags$p("Paragraph text")
unordered_list <- tags$ul(
tags$li("First list item"),
tags$li("Second list item")
)21.3 theme
A consistent style for a report or plots.
Plots in ggplot can set the theme globally with code like this:

You can set the theme for a html document in the YAML header. View and download different themes.

title: "My Document"
subtitle: "It's Just a Demo"

---21.4 tibble
A container for tabular data with some different properties to a data frame
Tibbles are almost exactly like the base R data.frame container type, but has some special printing functions, does not coerce character columns to factors, and does not typically use row names.

21.5 tidy data
A format for data that maps the meaning onto the structure.
Tidy data has three rules:
- Each variable must have its own column
- Each observation must have its own row
- Each value must have its own cell
21.6 tidyverse
A set of R packages that help you create and work with tidy data
The tidyverse can be loaded with library(tidyverse) and loads the following packages:
- {ggplot2} for data visualisation
- {tibble} for data tables
- {tidyr} for tidy data
- {readr} for reading in data
- {purrr} for iteration
- {dplyr} for data wrangling
- {stringr} for string manipulation
- {forcats} for factors
Compare with base R
21.7 tied ranks
When two or more values/observations within a variable are identical and assume the same rank order value.
This is the default for the rank() function (ties.method = "average"). You can also set ties to go in the order they are in the dataset (first), in the opposite order (last), a random order (random), all ties have the maximum value (max) or the minimum value (min).
21.8 transparency
The degree to which all the steps and decisions in a study have been documented and made available for verification.
21.9 treatment code
A coding scheme for categorical variables that creates (n_levels -1) dichotomous variables where each level of the categorical variable is contrasted to a reference level.
Also referred to as dummy-coding.
21.10 true negative
When a test concludes there is no effect when there is really is no effect
See also true positive, false positive/type I error, false negative/type II error.
21.11 true positive
When a test concludes there is an effect when there is really is an effect
See also true negative, false positive/type I error, false negative/type II error.
21.12 two-tailed
A statistical test for which the critical region consists of all values of the test statistic greater than a given value plus all values less than another given value.
See p-value for a comparison of one-tailed and two-tailed tests.
21.13 Type I Error
A false positive; When a test concludes there is an effect when there really is no effect
See also true positive, true negative, and false negative/type II error.
21.14 Type II Error
A false negative; When a test concludes there is no effect when there really is an effect
See also true positive, true negative, and false positive/type I error.
