Tidyverse for Beginners Filter Scatter plot

Learn More R for Data Science Interactively at www.datacamp.com filter() allows you to select a subset of rows in a data frame. Scatter plots allow you to compare two variables within your data. To do this with
ggplot2, you use geom_point()
> iris %>% Select iris data of species
filter(Species=="virginica") "virginica" > iris_small <- iris %>%
> iris %>% Select iris data of species filter(Sepal.Length > 5)
Tidyverse filter(Species=="virginica", "virginica" and sepal length > ggplot(iris_small, aes(x=Petal.Length,
y=Petal.Width)) +
Compare petal
width and length
Sepal.Length > 6) greater than 6.
The tidyverse is a powerful collection of R packages that are actually geom_point()
data tools for transforming and visualizing data. All packages of the
tidyverse share an underlying philosophy and common APIs. Arrange Additional Aesthetics
arrange() sorts the observations in a dataset in ascending or descending order • Color
The core packages are: based on one of its variables. > ggplot(iris_small, aes(x=Petal.Length,
y=Petal.Width,
• ggplot2, which implements the grammar of graphics. You can use it > iris %>% Sort in ascending order of color=Species)) +

Combine multiple dplyr verbs in a row with the pipe operator %>%: y=Petal.Width,
color=Species,

• purrr enhances R’s functional programming (FP) toolkit by providing a mutate() allows you to update or create new columns of a data frame.

complete and consistent set of tools for working with functions and facet_wrap(~Species)
vectors. > iris %>% Change Sepal.Length to be
mutate(Sepal.Length=Sepal.Length*10) in millimeters
• tibble is a modern re-imaginging of the data frame. > iris %>% Create a new column Line Plots
mutate(SLMm=Sepal.Length*10) called SLMm
> by_year <- gapminder %>%
Combine the verbs filter(), arrange(), and mutate(): group_by(year) %>%
• stringr provides a cohesive set of functions designed to make summarize(medianGdpPerCap=median(gdpPercap))

mutate(SLMm=Sepal.Length*10) %>% geom_line()+
• forcats provide a suite of useful tools that solve common problems arrange(desc(SLMm)) expand_limits(y=0)
with factors.
Summarize Bar Plots
You can install the complete tidyverse with:
> install.packages("tidyverse") summarize() allows you to turn many observations into a single data point.
> by_species <- iris %>%
> iris %>% Summarize to find the filter(Sepal.Length>6) %>%
Then, load the core tidyverse and make it available in your current R summarize(medianSL=median(Sepal.Length)) median sepal length group_by(Species) %>%
session by running: > iris %>% Filter for virginica then summarize(medianPL=median(Petal.Length))
> library(tidyverse) filter(Species=="virginica") %>% summarize the median > ggplot(by_species, aes(x=Species,
summarize(medianSL=median(Sepal.Length)) sepal length y=medianPL)) +
Note: there are many other tidyverse packages with more specialised usage. They are not geom_col()
loaded automatically with library(tidyverse), so you’ll need to load each one with its own call You can also summarize multiple variables at once:
to library().
