Tidyverse

DataCampLearn R for Data Science Interactively

The tidyverse is a powerful collection of R packages that are actually data tools for transforming and visualizing data. All packages of the tidyverse share an underlying philosophy and common APIs.

The core packages are:

• ggplot2, which implements the grammar of graphics. You can use it to visualize your data.

• dplyr is a grammar of data manipulation. You can use it to solve the most common data manipulation challenges.

• tidyr helps you to create tidy data or data where each variable is in a column, each observation is a row end each value is a cell.

• readr is a fast and friendly way to read rectangular data.

• purrr enhances R’s functional programming (FP) toolkit by providing a complete and consistent set of tools for working with functions and vectors.

• tibble is a modern re-imaginging of the data frame.

• stringr provides a cohesive set of functions designed to make working with strings as easy as posssible

• forcats provide a suite of useful tools that solve common problems with factors.

You can install the complete tidyverse with:

Then, load the core tidyverse and make it available in your current R session by running:

Note: there are many other tidyverse packages with more specialised usage. They are not loaded automatically with library(tidyverse), so you’ll need to load each one with its own call to library().

ggplot2

> install.packages("tidyverse")

> iris %>% Select iris data of species filter(Species=="virginica") "virginica" > iris %>% Select iris data of species filter(Species=="virginica", "virginica" and sepal length Sepal.Length > 6) greater than 6.

Filter

> library(tidyverse)

Useful Functions

Arrange

Mutate

Summarize

> tidyverse_conflicts() Conflicts between tidyverse and other packages> tidyverse_deps() List all tidyverse dependencies> tidyverse_logo() Get tidyverse logo, using ASCII or unicode characters > tidyverse_packages() List all tidyverse packages> tidyverse_update() Update tidyverse packages

Loading in the data> library(datasets) Load the datasets package > library(gapminder) Load the gapminder package> attach(iris) Attach iris data to the R search path

filter() allows you to select a subset of rows in a data frame.

> iris %>% Sort in ascending order of arrange(Sepal.Length) sepal length> iris %>% Sort in descending order of arrange(desc(Sepal.Length)) sepal length

arrange() sorts the observations in a dataset in ascending or descending order based on one of its variables.

> iris %>% Filter for species "virginica" filter(Species=="virginica") %>% then arrange in descending arrange(desc(Sepal.Length)) order of sepal length

Combine multiple dplyr verbs in a row with the pipe operator %>%:

mutate() allows you to update or create new columns of a data frame.

> iris %>% Change Sepal.Length to be mutate(Sepal.Length=Sepal.Length*10) in millimeters> iris %>% Create a new column mutate(SLMm=Sepal.Length*10) called SLMm

Combine the verbs filter(), arrange(), and mutate():> iris %>% filter(Species=="Virginica") %>% mutate(SLMm=Sepal.Length*10) %>% arrange(desc(SLMm))

> iris %>% Summarize to find the summarize(medianSL=median(Sepal.Length)) median sepal length> iris %>% Filter for virginica then filter(Species=="virginica") %>% summarize the median summarize(medianSL=median(Sepal.Length)) sepal length

summarize() allows you to turn many observations into a single data point.

> iris %>% filter(Species=="virginica") %>% summarize(medianSL=median(Sepal.Length), maxSL=max(Sepal.Length))

You can also summarize multiple variables at once:

group_by() allows you to summarize within groups instead of summarizing the entire dataset:

> iris %>% Find median and max group_by(Species) %>% sepal length of each summarize(medianSL=median(Sepal.Length), species maxSL=max(Sepal.Length))> iris %>% Find median and max filter(Sepal.Length>6) %>% petal length of each group_by(Species) %>% species with sepal summarize(medianPL=median(Petal.Length), length > 6 maxPL=max(Petal.Length))

Scatter plot

> iris_small <- iris %>% filter(Sepal.Length > 5)> ggplot(iris_small, aes(x=Petal.Length, Compare petal y=Petal.Width)) + width and length geom_point()

Scatter plots allow you to compare two variables within your data. To do this with ggplot2, you use geom_point()

Additional Aesthetics

> ggplot(iris_small, aes(x=Petal.Length, y=Petal.Width, color=Species)) + geom_point()

• Color

• Size> ggplot(iris_small, aes(x=Petal.Length, y=Petal.Width, color=Species, size=Sepal.Length)) + geom_point()

Faceting> ggplot(iris_small, aes(x=Petal.Length, y=Petal.Width)) + geom_point()+ facet_wrap(~Species)

Line Plots

Bar Plots

Histograms

Box Plots

> by_year <- gapminder %>% group_by(year) %>% summarize(medianGdpPerCap=median(gdpPercap))> ggplot(by_year, aes(x=year, y=medianGdpPerCap))+ geom_line()+ expand_limits(y=0)

> by_species <- iris %>% filter(Sepal.Length>6) %>% group_by(Species) %>% summarize(medianPL=median(Petal.Length))> ggplot(by_species, aes(x=Species, y=medianPL)) + geom_col()

> ggplot(iris_small, aes(x=Petal.Length))+ geom_histogram()

> ggplot(iris_small, aes(x=Species, y=Sepal.Width))+ geom_boxplot()
