ETC1010: Introduction to Data Analysis

Week 2, part B


Week of Tidy Data + Style

Lecturer: Nicholas Tierney

Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics

ETC1010.Clayton-x@monash.edu

11th Mar 2020


1/96

Update on how the class is delivered

2/96

How the class will now be delivered: Lectorials

  • Lectorials are now recorded using Echo360
  • Do not come into class, listen to the lectorials online and complete the exercises on rstudio cloud or locally.
3/96

How the class will now be delivered: Lab/quizzes

These will still be posted weekly, but we will give you an extra day or two to complete them

  • Reading quizzes we expect you to complete before the lecture starts

    • So, Reading quiz 2A should be completed prior to lecture 2A
      • These will be closed shortly after lecture 2a starts (With some leeway as we transition into online classes to give you all a chance to get used to things)
  • Lab quizzes require knowledge from the lecture - these need to be completed after the lecture

    • So, lab quiz 2A should be completed after Lecture 2a
    • Again with the same leeway as for reading quiz 2a above

There is a lot of change

  • There is a lot of change in the air, and things might seem uncertain.
  • I am committed to helping you all learn how to do data analysis.
  • Thank you all for your patience as we have changed this course. We are dealing with daily updates, and need to change on the fly.
  • Perhaps now more than ever it is becoming so very relevant to our daily lives that we understand data, and that we can communicate it to others.
  • Remember to get your information from reliable sources, like the WHO, the Australian Government, and see the latest data from Johns Hopkins.
6/96

Practice the most effective strategies we know

  1. Wash your hands often, practice good cough & sneeze etiquette.
  2. Try to touch your face as little as possible (mouth, nose, and eyes).
  3. Practice social distancing (no hugs, kisses, handshakes, high fives)
  4. Do not attend concerts, stage plays, sporting events, or any other mass entertainment events.
  5. Refrain from visiting museums, exhibitions, movie theaters, night clubs, and other entertainment venues.
  6. Stay away from social gatherings and events, (club meetings, religious services, parties)
  7. Reduce travel to a minimum. Don't travel long distances if not absolutely necessary.
  8. Do not use public transportation if not absolutely necessary.
7/96

Social distancing is hard

  • How do we know it works?
  • We have data from the last pandemic, the spanish flu.
  • Places that practice social distancing vs those who did not had drastically different numbers:

(from (Hatchett et al, 2007))

recap

  • Traffic Light System: Green = "good!" ; Red = "Help!"
  • R + Rstudio
  • Tower of babel analogy for writing R code
  • Functions are _
  • columns in data frames are accessed with _ ?
  • packages are installed with _ ?
  • packages are loaded with _ ?
  • Why do we care about Reproducibility?
  • Output + input of rmarkdown
  • I have an assignment group
  • I have made contact with my assignment group

The "pipe" operator - %>%

The symbol, %>% is referred to as the "pipe operator"

What you need to know:

  • Read it as "then"
  • It passes the output along to the next function
data %>%
select(age, height, hair_colour) %>%
filter(nationality == "australian")

" Use the data, THEN select the variables (columns), age, height, and hair_colour THEN filter so nationality is equal to "australian" "

That is all you need to know for the moment, but you can read more here

Problem solving (demo)

Some common questions you can ask yourself when something isn't working:

  • Have I got my data?
  • Does the thing exist? (Check environment)
  • Have I run the code from the top down to where I am now?
  • Did none of that work? (Now Restart R)
  • Is the column I want there?
  • Try using quotes "", or no quotes, or (last resort) backticks

Style guide

"Good coding style is like correct punctuation: you can manage without it, butitsuremakesthingseasiertoread." -- Hadley Wickham

  • Style guide for this course is based on the Tidyverse style guide: http://style.tidyverse.org/
  • There's more to it than what we'll cover today, we'll mention more as we introduce more functionality, and do a recap later in the semester
28/96

File names and code chunk labels

  • Do not use spaces in file names, use - or _ to separate words
  • Use all lowercase letters
# Good
ucb-admit.csv
# Bad
UCB Admit.csv
29/96

Object names

  • Use _ to separate words in object names
  • Use informative but short object names
  • Do not reuse object names within an analysis
# Good
acs_employed
# Bad
acs.employed
acs2
acs_subset
acs_subsetted_for_males
30/96

Spacing

  • Put a space before and after all infix operators (=, +, -, <-, etc.), and when naming arguments in function calls.
  • Always put a space after a comma, and never before (just like in regular English).
# Good
average <- mean(feet / 12 + inches, na.rm = TRUE)
# Bad
average<-mean(feet/12+inches,na.rm=TRUE)
31/96

ggplot

  • Always end a line with +
  • Always indent the next line
# Good
ggplot(diamonds, mapping = aes(x = price)) +
geom_histogram()
# Bad
ggplot(diamonds,mapping=aes(x=price))+geom_histogram()
32/96

Long lines

  • Limit your code to 80 characters per line. This fits comfortably on a printed page with a reasonably sized font.
  • Take advantage of RStudio editor's auto formatting for indentation at line breaks.
33/96

Assignment

  • Use <- not =
# Good
x <- 2
# Bad
x = 2
34/96

Quotes

Use ", not ', for quoting text. The only exception is when the text already contains double quotes and no single quotes.

ggplot(diamonds, mapping = aes(x = price)) +
geom_histogram() +
# Good
labs(title = "`Shine bright like a diamond`",
# Good
x = "Diamond prices",
# Bad
y = 'Frequency')

Many R packages

  • A blessing & a curse!
  • So many packages available, it can make it hard to choose!
  • Many of the packages are designed to solve a specific problem
  • The tidyverse is designed to work with many other packages following a consistent philosophy
  • What this means is that you shouldn't notice it!
41/96

The best techniques are available, but there can be conflicts between function names. When you load tidyverse it prints a great summary of conflicts that it knows about, between its functions and others.

For example, there is a filter function in the stats package that comes with the R distribution. This can cause confusion when you want to use the filter function in dplyr (part of tidyverse). To be sure the function you use is the one you want to use, you can prefix it with the package name, dplyr::filter().

Let's talk about data

42/96
43/96

This was an actual experiment in Food Sciences at Iowa State University. The goal was to find out if some cheaper oil options could be used to make hot chips: that people would not be able to distinguish the difference between chips fried in the new oils relative to those fried in the current market leader.

Twelve tasters were recruited to sample two chips from each batch, over a period of ten weeks. The same oil was kept for a period of 10 weeks! May be a bit gross by the end!

This data set was brought to R by Hadley Wickham, and was one of the problems that inspired the thinking about tidy data, and the evolution of the tidyverse tools.

Example: french fries

  • Experiment in Food Sciences at Iowa State University.
  • Aim: find if cheaper oil could be used to make hot chips
  • Question: Can people distinguish between chips fried in the new oils relative to those current market leader oil.
  • 12 tasters recruited
  • Each sampled two chips from each batch
  • Over a period of ten weeks.

Same oil kept for a period of 10 weeks! May be a bit gross!

When to use quotes? " ', nothing, or backtick?

89/96

When to use quotes? " ', nothing, or backtick?

  • Use no quotes (bare variable names) when the variable exists
  • Otherwise use strings

Example:

fries_long %>%
pivot_wider(names_from = type,
values_from = rating)

vs

french_fries %>%
pivot_longer(cols = potato:painty,
names_to = "type",
values_to = "rating")
90/96

When to use quotes? " ', nothing, or backtick?

Variables with unusual names (starting with numbers, spaces, or containing special characters like !@#$%^&*()- need to be referenced with backticks:

data %>% select(`name with spaces`)
