Issue

Issues using Leaflet (and the terra dependency in particular) in VSCode on macOS.

The following is an attempted, but so far failed, approach.

brew install gdal proj
remotes::install_github("rspatial/terra", configure.args = "--with-gdal-config=/opt/homebrew/bin/gdal-config --with-proj-include=/opt/homebrew/opt/proj/include --with-proj-lib=/opt/homebrew/opt/proj/lib --with-proj-share=/opt/homebrew/opt/proj/share/proj", type = "source", force = TRUE)

15 - Statistics#

Data graphics

  • translate each case into a representation in terms of a glyph’s graphical attributes: color, position, shape, size, etc.

A representation for the collective properties of cases?

  • collective properties: features of groups of cases

  • summary functions: max, mean, median, etc.

Statistics

  • an area of science concerned with characterizing case-to-case variation and the collective properties of cases, while also quantifying uncertainty

Data Science

  • a collaboration between statistics and computer science

Confidence Interval

Confidence Band

How to display variation among cases? The distribution of values of one variable? The distribution of values of several variables?

16 - Data scraping and intake methods#

[Data Scraping]

Data scraping is the gathering of data from sources such as web browsers in which they are not already in a tidy (data frame/table) format and the translation of such data to one or more data frames/tables.

[Data Cleaning]

Data clearning is the correcting of errors in data that stem either from blunders in data entry or from deficiencies in the way data is stored or coded.

Data frame-friendly formats

  • CSV

    • base::read.csv(stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

    • data.table::fread()

    • mosaic::read.file()

    • readr::read_csv()

  • technical software package

    • Octave/MATLAB

    • Stata

    • SPSS

    • Minitab

    • SAS

    • Epi

  • relational databases

  • Excel

  • web

    • HTML <table>

    • JSON

    • XML

    • Google spreadsheet qua HTML

    • API

[List]

A list is an R object used to store a collection of other R objects. Elements of a list can even have different types; e.g., data frames, plots, model objects, even other lists.

  • as.numeric()

  • as.character()

  • readr::parse_number()

Grab Table 4 (or another similar table) from the Wikipedia page on world records in the mile (or some similar event). Make a plot of the record time versus the date in which it occurred. Also, mark each point with the name of the athlete written above the point. (Hint: Use geom_text().) To convert time entries such as '4:20.5' into seconds, use the lubridate package’s as.duration(ms('40:20.5')). You can get rid of the footnote markers such as [5] in the dates using the gsub() transformation function which replaces the characters identified in the first argument with those in the second argument. The string '\\[.\\]$' is an example of a regular expression which identifies a pattern of characters, in this case a single character in square brackets just before the end of the string.

How long?#

Make a box-and-whisker plot showing the distribution of the duration of rental events broken down by client. The duration of the rental can be calculated as as.numeric(edate - sdate). The units will be in either hours, minutes, or seconds. It should not be much trouble for you to figure out which one. When you make your plot, you will likely find that the axis range is being set by a few outliers. These may be bikes that were forgotten. Arrange your scale to ignore these outliers, or filter them out.

  mutate(duration = as.numeric(edate - sdate)) %>%

When are bikes used?#

[1] Variable Trips$sdate indicates the datetime that the bicycle was checked out of the station. Make histograms or density plots of each of these discrete components. Explain what each plot is showing about how bikes are checked out. For example, the distribution by hour of the day shows that few bikes are checked out before 5am, and that there are busy times around rush hour: 8am and 5pm.

  • Day of the year: bike rentals are highest in October; decline in November; and pick up again in the first half of December.

  • Day of the week: bike rentals are fairly stable over the course of the week; Thursday and Friday see the most rentals, and Saturday and Sunday see the least. Monday sees a little bit more than Tuesday and Wednesday.

  • Hour of the day: bike rentals are low before 5:00am; spike up during morning rush hour; decrease a bit throughout the day; spike back up during evening rush hour; and rapidly decline to early morning levels into the night.

  • Minute of the hour: I’m not sure there’s much of a trend along this scale, other than that the numbers of rentals oscillate a bit (i.e., it is not fixed).

[2] A similar sort of display of events per hour can be accomplished by calculating and displaying each hour’s count. The graphic shows a lot of variation of bike use over the course of the day. Now consider two additional variables: the day of the week and the client type. Group the bike rentals by three variables: hour of the day, day of the week, and client type. Find the total number of events in each grouping and plot this count versus hour. Use the group aesthetic to represent one of the other variables and faceting to represent the other. (Hint: utilize facet_wrap() in the plotting commands.) Make the same sort of display of how bike rental vary of hour, day of the week, and client type, but use geom_density() rather than grouping and counting. Compare the two displays–one of discrete counts and one of density–and describe any major differences.

Generally, registered clients rent more bikes than casual clients across hour of the day and across day of the week. On an hourly basis, however, casual client rentals usually reach a maximum in the afternoon, when registered client rentals dip in between morning and evening rush hour. Also, casual client rentals peak over the weekend, when registered client rentals drop the most.

How far?#

Find the distance between each pair of stations. You know the position from the lat and long variables in Stations. This is enough information to find the distance. The calculation has been implemented in the haversine() function. haversine() is a transformation function. To use it, create a data table where a case is a pair of stations and there are variables for the latitude and longitude of the starting station and the ending station. To do this, join the Station data to itself. The statements Simple and Simple2 show how to create appropriately named variables for joining. Look the head() of Simple and Simple2 and make sure you understand how they are related to Stations. The joining of Simple and Simple2 should match every station to every other station. (Since a ride can start and end at the same station, it also makes sense to match each station to itself.) This sort of matching does not make use of any matching variables; everything is matched to everything else. This is called a full outer join. (A full outer join matches every case in the left table to each and every case in the right table.) Make sure you understand what the full outer join does before proceeding. For instance, you should be able to predict how many cases the output will have when the left input has n cases and the right has m cases.

[1] There are 347 cases in the Stations data table. How many cases will there be in a full outer join of Simple to Simple2?

\(120409 = 347 \times 347\)

It’s often impractical to carry out a full outer join. For example, joining BabyNames to itself with a full outer join will generate a result with more than three trillion cases. (Three trillion cases from the BabyNames data is the equivalent of about 5 million hours of MP3 compressed music. A typical human lifespan is about 0.6 million hours.) Perform the full outer join and then use haversine() to compute the distance between each pair of stations. Check your result for sensibility. Make a histogram of the station-to-station distances and explain where it looks like what you would expect. (Hint: you could use the Internet to look up the distance from one end of Washington, D.C. to the other.) Once you have PairDistances, you can join it with Trips to calculate the start-to-end distance of each trip. (Of course, a rider may not go directly from one station to another.)

[2] Look at the variables in Stations and Trips and explain why Simple and Simple2 were given different variable names for the station.

Simple and Simple2 were given different variable names for the station because we want start station-end station pairs, which serves as the composite key on which we join the resulting table to the Trips table. If we don’t explicitly change the name of the name variable, then we won’t have a composite key on which to join the resulting table to the Trips table.

An inner_join() is appropriate for finding the distance of each ride. (Watch out! The Trips data and the PairDistances data are large enough that the join is expensive: it takes about a minute.) Display the distribution of the ride distances of the ride.

[3] Compare it to the distances between pairs of stations. Are they similar? Why or why not?

The visualization shows that the pairwise distance between stations has a larger spread than trip distance, which is skewed to the right (i.e., most trips are short, whereas a fair number of station-station distances are quite large: these routes are probably not used very often).

Mapping the stations#

You can draw detailed maps with the leaflet package. You may need to install it. leaflet works much like ggplot() but provides special facilities for maps.

stationMap <-
  leaflet(Stations) %>%
    addTiles() %>%
    addCircleMarkers(radius = 2, color = 'red')
    #setView(-77.04, 38.9, zoom = 12)
stationMap
Assuming "long" and "lat" are longitude and latitude, respectively

Long-distance stations#

Around each station on the map, draw a circle whose radius reflects the median distance covered by rentals starting at that station. To draw the circles, use the same leaflet commands as before, but add in a line like this: addCircles(radius = ~ mid, color = "blue", opacity = 0.0001). For addCircles() to draw circles at the right scale, the units of the median distance should be presented in meters rather than kilometers. This will create too much overlap, unfortunately. So, set the radius to be half or one-third the median distance in meters. From your map, explain the pattern you see in the relationship between station location and median distance.

Task 1#

[1] Including misspellings, how many different species are there in the OrdwayBirds data?

There are 275 unique values of the variable SpeciesName. This reduces to 268 after dropping the following invalid values:

  • ''

  • '-lost-'

  • '-missing-'

  • '13:00:00'

  • '[Nothing, just dashes]'

  • 'lost'

  • 'none'

[2] Consider the OrdwaySpeciesNames data frame also found in the dcData package as well. How many distinct species are there in the SpeciesNameCleaned variable in OrdwaySpeciesNames? You will find it helpful to use n_distinct() a reduction function, which counts the number of unique values in a variable.

There are 108 unique values of the variable SpeciesNameCleaned after accounting for the value NA.

Task 2#

Use the OrdwaySpeciesNames table to create a new data frame that corrects the misspellings in SpeciesNames. This can be done easily using the inner_join() data verb. Look at the names of the variables in OrdwaySpeciesNames and OrdwayBirds.

[1] Which variable(s) was used for matching cases?

The variable SpeciesName was used for matching cases.

[2] What were the variable(s) that will be added?

The variables SpeciesNameCleaned (renamed to Species), Month, and Day will be added.

Task 3#

Call the variable that contains the total count. Arrange this into descending order from the species with the most birds, and look through the list. (Hint: Remember n(). Also, one of the arguments to one of the data verbs will be desc(count) to arrange the cases into descending order. Display the top 10 species in terms of the number of bird captures.) Define for yourself a “major species” as a species with more than a particular threshold count. Set your threshold so that there are 5 or 6 species designated as major. Filter to produce a data frame with only the birds that belong to a major species. Save the output in a table called Majors. (Hint: Remember that summary functions can be used case-by-case when filtering or mutating a data frame that has been grouped.)

[1] How many bird captures are reported for each of the corrected species?

See below for the result (major species threshold >= 1000).

Task 4#

When you have correctly produced Majors, write a command that produces the month-by-month count of each of the major species. Call this table ByMonth. Display this month-by-month count with a bar chart arranged in a way that you think tells the story of what time of year the various species appear. You can use mplot() to explore different possibilies. (Warning: mplot() and similar interactive functions should not appear in your Rmd file, it needs to be used interactively from the console. Use the “Show Expression” button in mplot() to create an expression that you can cut and paste into a chunk in your Rmd document, so that the graph gets created when you compile it.) Once you have the graph, use it to answer these questions:

[1] Which species are present year-round?

  • American Goldfinch (11-12 mo)

  • Black-capped Chickadee (12 mo)

[2] Which species are migratory, that is, primarily present in one or two seasons?

  • Field Sparrow (6 mo)

  • Slate-colored Junco (8-9 mo)

  • Tree Swallow (3-5 mo)

[3] What is the peak month for each major species?

  • 10 American Goldfinch

  • 11 Black-capped Chickadee

  • 05 Field Sparrow

  • 10 Slate-colored Junco

  • 06 Tree Swallow

[4] Which major species are seen in good numbers for at least 6 months of the year? (Hint: n_distinct() and >= 6.)

Arguably, the only species that is not seen in good numbers for at least 6 months of the year is the tree swallow.

Project: Scraping Nuclear Reactors from Kaplan, Daniel & Matthew Beckman. (2021). Data Computing. 2nd Ed. Home.


In what ways is the table tidy? How is it not tidy? What’s different about it from a tidy table?

Tidy Data Criteria

  • (i) rows (or cases, observations) must each represent the same underlying attribute (i.e., each observation must have its own row)

  • (ii) columns (or variables, values) must each contain the same type of value for each row (i.e., each variable must have its own column)

  • (iii) each value must have its own cell

  • It’s impossible to only satisfy two of the three criteria. This implies the following.

    • (i) put each dataset into a tibble

    • (ii) put each variable into a column

There is at least one row that does not represent a typical case (that is, the header row(s)). Certain columns are blank and need to be removed. The remaining columns may contain heterogeneous data formats or data types. And missing values must be addressed. But with some cleaning, the table hints at what a typical case should look like.

Among other things, some of the variable names appear redundant and others have multiple words separated by spaces. You can rename variables using the data verb rename(), finding appropriate names from the Wikipedia table. Another problem is that the first row is not data but a continuation of the variable names. So row number 1 should be dropped.

Carry out the same cleaning process for the China reactor table, and then append it with the Japan data. Use mutate() to add a variable that has the name of the country. (Hint: functions such as bind_cols() or bind_rows() form the dplyr package are helpful for appending data frames.) Collating the data for all countries is a matter of repeating this process over and over. Inevitably, there are inconsistencies. For example, the US data had been organized in a somewhat different format when compared to the Japan and China data for many years until Wikipedia editors decided to reconcile them.

Make an informative graphic that shows how long it took between start of construction and commissioning for operation of each nuclear reactor in Japan (or another country of your choice). One possibility: use reactor name vs date as the frame. For each reactor, set the glyph to be a line extending from start of construction to commissioning. You can do this with geom_segment() using name as the y coordinate and time as the x coordinate. (Tip: use the paste() function to create the reactorID on the vertical axis.)

options(warn = -1)

    reactorID = paste(name, reactor),

Example#

People’s addresses involve streets, lanes, courts, avenues, and so on. How many such road-related words are in common use? In answering this question, you would presumably want to look at lots of addresses and extract the road-related term. You could do this by eye, reading down a list of a few hundred or thousand addresses. But if you want to do it on a really large scale, a city or state or country, you would want some automated help, for instance, a computer program that discards the sorts of entries you have already identified to give a greater concentration of unidentified terms.

To solve such problems, start by looking at a few dozen of the addresses to familiarize yourself with common patterns. Suppose you wanted to extract the PO Box number from an address. Read the street address data and pull out a sample of a few dozen cases.

  1. In everyday langauge, describe a pattern that you think will identify the information you are looking for.

    • The PO Box cases tend to have a substring ‘PO’.

  2. Translate (1) into the form of a regular expression.

    • The regular expression for ‘PO’ is simply ‘PO’.

  3. Filter to retain the cases that match the expression. Hint: filter() and grepl() are useful for this.

  4. Filter to retain the cases that do not match the expression.

  5. Examine the results of (3) and (4) to identify shortcomings in your patterns.

  6. Improve or extend the pattern to deal with the mistaken cases.

  7. Repeat until satisfied.

  8. Put extraction parentheses around the parts of the regular expression that contain the info you want.

Back to the Streets#

Street endings (e.g., ‘ST’, ‘LANE’) are often found at the end of the address string. Use this as a starting point to find the most common endings. Once you have a set of specific street endings, you can use the regex “or” symbol, e.g., ‘(ST|RD|ROAD)’. The parentheses are not incidental. They are there to mark a pattern that you want to extract. In this case, in addition to knowing that there is a ST or RD or ROAD in an address, you want to know which one of those possibilities it is so that you can count the occurrence of each of the possibilities. To find street endings that aren’t in your set, you can filter out the street endings or non street addresses you already know about.

[1] Read the following R statements. Next to each line, give a short explanation of what the line contributes to the task. For each of the regexes, explain in simple everyday language what pattern is being matched.

pattern <- '(ST|RD|ROAD)'

LeftOvers <-
  Addresses %>%
    filter(
      !grepl(pattern, address),                 # matches other than: 'ST' or 'RD' or 'ROAD'
      !grepl('\\sAPT|UNIT\\s[\\d]+$', address), # matches other than: (1 whitespace, 'APT') or ('UNIT', 1 whitespace, 1 or more digits at the end of the string)
      !grepl(' BOX ', address)                  # matches other than: 1 space, 'BOX', 1 space
    )
LeftOvers

[2] For each set of patterns that you identify, compute the LeftOvers. Examine them visually to find new street endings to add to the pattern, e.g., LANE. When you have this working on the small sample, use a larger sample and, eventually, the whole data set. It’s practically impossible to find a method that will work perfectly on new data, but do the best you can. In your report, implement your method and explain how it works, line by line. Present your result: how many addresses there are of each kind of road word?

‘DR’, ‘RD’, and ‘ST’ are the most common street types. In general, abbrviated street types are more common than their longform counterparts.

Breaking addresses into their components is a common task. People who work on this problem intensively sometimes publish their regular expressions. Here’s one from Ross Hammer published at https://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=street:
