Reading and Writing data

Code for quiz 4

  1. Load the R packages we will use
library(tidyverse)
library(here)
library(janitor) # make sure you install
library(skimr)
  1. Download \(CO_2\) emissions per capita from Our World in Data into the directory for this post.

  2. Assign the location of the file to file_csv the data should be in the same directory as this file

Read the data into R and assign it to emissions

file_csv <- here("_posts",                  
                  "2022-02-21-reading-and-writing-data", 
                  "co-emissions-per-capita.csv")

emissions  <- read_csv(file_csv)
  1. Show the first 10 rows (observations of) co.emissions.per.capita
emissions
# A tibble: 23,307 × 4

5.Start with emissions data THEN use clean_names from the janitor package to make the names easier to work with assign the output to tidy_emissions show the first 10 rows of tidy_emissions

tidy_emissions   <- emissions %>% 
  clean_names()

  1. Start with the tidy_emissions THEN use filter to extract rows with year == 1993 THEN use skim to calculate the descriptive statistics
tidy_emissions  %>% 
  filter(year == 1993)  %>% 
  skim()

  1. 13 observations have a missing code. How are these observations different? start with tidy_emissions then extract rows with year == 1993 and are missing a code
tidy_emissions  %>% 
  filter(year == 1993, is.na(code))
# A tibble: 12 × 4

12 South America              <NA>   1993                         2.09

Entities that are not countries do not have country codes.

  1. Start with tidy_emissions THEN

use filter to extract rows with year == 1993 and without missing codes THEN use select to drop the year variable THEN use rename to change the variable entity to country assign the output to emissions_1993

emissions_1993  <- tidy_emissions  %>% 
  filter(year == 1993, !is.na(code))   %>% 
  select(-year)  %>% 
rename(country = entity)
  1. Which 15 countries have the highest per_capita_co2_emissions?

start with emissions_1993 THEN use slice_max to extract the 15 rows with the annual_co2_emissions_per_capita assign the output to max_15_emitters

max_15_emitters  <- emissions_1993  %>% 
  slice_max(annual_co2_emissions_per_capita, n = 15)
  1. Which 15 countries have the lowest annual_co2_emissions_per_capita?

start with emissions_1993 THEN use slice_min to extract the 15 rows with the lowest values assign the output to min_15_emitters

min_15_emitters  <- emissions_1993  %>% 
  slice_min(annual_co2_emissions_per_capita, n = 15)
  1. Use bind_rows to bind together the max_15_emitters and min_15_emitters assign the output to max_min_15
max_min_15  <- bind_rows(max_15_emitters, min_15_emitters)
  1. Export max_min_15 to 3 file formats
max_min_15  %>% write_csv("max_min_15.csv") # comma-separated values
max_min_15  %>% write_tsv("max_min_15.tsv")  # tab separated
max_min_15  %>% write_delim("max_min_15.psv", delim = "|") # pipe-separated
  1. Read the 3 file formats into R
max_min_15_csv <-  read_csv("max_min_15.csv") # comma-separated values
max_min_15_tsv <-  read_tsv("max_min_15.tsv")  # tab separated
max_min_15_psv <-  read_delim("max_min_15.psv", delim = "|") # pipe-separated
  1. Use setdiff to check for any differences among max_min_15_csv, max_min_15_tsv and max_min_15_psv
setdiff(max_min_15_csv, max_min_15_tsv, max_min_15_psv)
# A tibble: 0 × 3
# … with 3 variables: country <chr>, code <chr>,
#   annual_co2_emissions_per_capita <dbl>

Are there any differences?

  1. Reorder country in max_min_15 for plotting and assign to max_min_15_plot_data start with emissions_1993 THEN use mutate to reorder country according to annual_co2_emissions_per_capita
max_min_15_plot_data  <- max_min_15 %>%
  mutate(country = reorder(country, annual_co2_emissions_per_capita))
  1. Plot max_min_15_plot_data
ggplot(data = max_min_15_plot_data, 
       mapping = aes(x= annual_co2_emissions_per_capita, y = country)) +
  geom_col() +
  labs(title = "The top 15 and bottom 15 per capita CO2 emissions",
       subtitle = "for 1993", 
       x = NULL, 
       y = NULL)

  1. Save the plot directory with this post
ggsave(filename = "preview.png", 
       path = here("_posts", "2022-02-21-reading-and-writing-data"))
  1. Add preview.png to yaml chuck at the top of this file
