Rename variables in a select statement

Package: dplyr

---

Function: select()

---

1. Select school name and Var1 and rename them

Review the data (d9)

# A tibble: 3 x 5
  `school name`  Var1  Var2  Var3  Var4
  <chr>         <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 a               200   3.6     1     0
2 b               350   8.5     2     1
3 c               400  NA       3     1

Select school name and Var1 and rename them in the select statement.

• Note: The formula is the same as dplyr::rename(), new value=old value

d9 %>%
  dplyr::select(school_name = `school name`, enrollment = `Var1`)

# A tibble: 3 x 2
  school_name enrollment
  <chr>            <dbl>
1 a                  200
2 b                  350
3 c                  400
