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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Briefly describe the data

There are 48895 observations with 17 variables. The data set pertains to review and other administrative records for AirBnB in New York City. There are categorical variables in the data set, namely the boroughs of Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island and Bronx, as well as room type: private room, entire home/apartment and shared room. The dates of the last review range from March 2011 to July 2019. The minimum cost ranges from 0 to $1.2M. The mean minimum cost is $1284.43. The composition of the lodging by room type is as follows: 52% Entire home/apartment, 46% private room and 2.4% shared room. In terms of boroughs where the Airbnb lodging is located, 2% where in the Bronx, 41% in Brooklyn, 44% in Manhattan, 12% in Queens and 1% in Staten Island.

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.

unique(AB_NYC_2019$neighbourhood_group)
[1] "Brooklyn"      "Manhattan"     "Queens"        "Staten Island"
[5] "Bronx"        
proproomtype <- c(AirbnbNYC$room_type, NA)
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos): object 'AirbnbNYC' not found
prop.table(table(AirbnbNYC$room_type))
Error in table(AirbnbNYC$room_type): object 'AirbnbNYC' not found
propneighgroup <- c(AirbnbNYC$neighbourhood_group, NA)
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos): object 'AirbnbNYC' not found
prop.table((table(AirbnbNYC$neighbourhood_group)))
Error in table(AirbnbNYC$neighbourhood_group): object 'AirbnbNYC' not found

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.

AirbnbNYC <- AB_NYC_2019 %>%

## Time Dependent Visualization
vis1a <- ggplot(AirbnbNYC, aes(x=last_review, y=minimum_cost, color=room_type)) +
     geom_point() +
  labs(y= "Minimum Cost", x= "Date of Last Review", color= "Room Type", title = "Minimum Cost over Date of Last Review")
print(vis1a)
Warning: Removed 10052 rows containing missing values (`geom_point()`).

## Visualizing Part-Whole Relationships
vis2a <- ggplot(AirbnbNYC, aes(x = room_type, fill = neighbourhood_group)) + 
  geom_bar() +
labs(y= "Frequency", x= "Room Type", fill = "Borough", title="Number of AirBnB listings by Room Type and Borough")
