Challenge Overview

Today’s challenge is to:

  1. read in a data set, and describe the data set using both words and any supporting information (e.g., tables, etc)
  2. tidy data (as needed, including sanity checks)
  3. mutate variables as needed (including sanity checks)
  4. create at least one graph including time (evolution)
  • try to make them “publication” ready (optional)
  • Explain why you choose the specific graph type
  1. Create at least one graph depicting part-whole or flow relationships
  • try to make them “publication” ready (optional)
  • Explain why you choose the specific graph type

R Graph Gallery is a good starting point for thinking about what information is conveyed in standard graph types, and includes example R code.

(be sure to only include the category tags for the data you use!)

Read in data

Read in one (or more) of the following datasets, using the correct R package and command.

  • debt ⭐
  • fed_rate ⭐⭐
  • abc_poll ⭐⭐⭐
  • usa_hh ⭐⭐⭐
  • hotel_bookings ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • AB_NYC ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
data <- read.csv("_data/AB_NYC_2019.csv")

Briefly describe the data

Tidy Data (as needed)

Is your data already tidy, or is there work to be done? Be sure to anticipate your end result to provide a sanity check, and document your work here.

Are there any variables that require mutation to be usable in your analysis stream? For example, do you need to calculate new values in order to graph them? Can string values be represented numerically? Do you need to turn any variables into factors and reorder for ease of graphics and visualization?

Document your work here.

Time Dependent Visualization

ggplot(data, aes(longitude, latitude, size = price, color = room_type), group = neighbourhood_group) +
  geom_point() +
  labs (size = "Price of Property",
        title = "Map of Airbnb Properties in NYC by Price and Room Types",
    subtitle = "the airbnb dataset (AB_NYC_2019.csv)")

ggplot(data, aes(price, room_type)) +
  geom_point() +
  facet_wrap(vars(neighbourhood_group)) +
  labs(title = "Price of room-type by neighbourhood")

Visualizing Part-Whole Relationships

ggplot(data, aes(neighbourhood_group, fill = room_type)) +
  geom_bar() +
  labs(title = "Neighbourhood by Room-Type")

ggplot(data, aes(room_type, fill = neighbourhood_group)) +
  geom_bar() +
  labs(title = "Room-Type by Neighbourhood")
