## Rename variable

    data <- use_data_titanic(count = FALSE)
    glimpse(data)
    #> Rows: 2,201

    #> $ Class    <chr> "3rd", "3rd", "3rd", "3rd", "3rd", "3rd", "3rd", "3rd", "3rd"…

    #> $ Survived <chr> "No", "No", "No", "No", "No", "No", "No", "No", "No", "No", "…

    data <- data %>% clean_var(Age, name = "age")

## Replace NA values

## Set min max values

    data <- create_data_person()
    data %>% describe(age)
    #> variable = age
    #> type     = integer
    #> na       = 0 of 1 000 (0%)

    #> median   = 55
    #> mean     = 54.276

## Rescale 0 to 1

    data %>% describe(income)
    #> variable = income
    #> type     = double
    #> na       = 0 of 1 000 (0%)
    #> unique   = 228

    #> q25|q75  = 35 | 88.625
    #> median   = 62
    #> mean     = 61.5875

    #> median   = 0.4
    #> mean     = 0.410583

## Cleaning text

    data[1, "handset"] <- " android "
    data[2, "handset"] <- "ANDROID"
    data %>% describe(handset)
    #> variable = handset
    #> type     = character
    #> na       = 0 of 1 000 (0%)
    #> unique   = 5
    #>   android  = 1 (0.1%)
    #>  ANDROID   = 1 (0.1%)
    #>  Android   = 471 (47.1%)
    #>  Apple     = 430 (43%)
    #>  Other     = 97 (9.7%)

    data <- data %>% clean_var(handset, simplify_text = TRUE)
    data %>% describe(handset)
    #> variable = handset
    #> type     = character
