Data processing and data cleaning are essential steps before applying statistical or machine learning procedures (García et al., 2015;Pyle, 1999).R provides a flexible way for data processing using vectors.Additional R packages also provide other ways for manipulating data such as using SQL and using chained functions.This work presents yet another way to process data in a row by row manner using a data manipulation oriented script, DataSailr script.The script enables users to instruct data processing in a row-wise manner, and the script is intuitive and easy to learn.This article introduces the datasailr package, and potential benefits of this row-wise approach.
