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!)

Briefly describe the data

The dataset consists of 119,390 entries related to hotel bookings. It includes diverse information such as arrival date (year, month, day), hotel type, cancellation status, lead time, duration of stay, number of adults, children, and babies, meal preferences, country of origin, market segment, distribution channel, previous cancellations, reserved and assigned room types, booking changes, deposit type, days on the waiting list, customer type, average daily rate, required car parking spaces, and total number of special requests.

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.

To visualize the number of bookings that occurred in 2015 for five countries (USA, BEL, GBR, DEU, FRA) across different months, a new column can be created to represent the total number of bookings combining all age group bookings. This allows us to observe the variation in booking numbers based on seasons or specific months in each country. To achieve this, the month and year can be aggregated to form a new date column.

  df <- df %>% 
  mutate(date_year = paste0(arrival_date_month," ",arrival_date_day_of_month," ",arrival_date_year))
df$date_year %>% head()
[1] "July 1 2015" "July 1 2015" "July 1 2015" "July 1 2015" "July 1 2015"
[6] "July 1 2015"

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.
