  • Installing R
    Installing R Russell Almond August 29, 2020 Objectives When you finish this lesson, you will be able to 1) Start and Stop R and R Studio 2) Download, install and run the tidyverse package. 3) Get help on R functions. What you need to Download R is a programming language for statistics. Generally, the way that you will work with R code is you will write scripts—small programs—that do the analysis you want to do. You will also need a development environment which will allow you to edit and run the scripts. I recommend RStudio, which is pretty easy to learn. In general, you will need three things for an analysis job: • R itself. R can be downloaded from https://cloud.r-project.org. If you use a package manager on your computer, R is likely available there. The most common package managers are homebrew on Mac OS, apt-get on Debian Linux, yum on Red hat Linux, or chocolatey on Windows. You may need to search for ‘cran’ to find the name of the right package. For Debian Linux, it is called r-base. • R Studio development environment. R Studio https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/. The free version is fine for what we are doing. 1 There are other choices for development environments. I use Emacs and ESS, Emacs Speaks Statistics, but that is mostly because I’ve been using Emacs for 20 years. • A number of R packages for specific analyses. These can be downloaded from the Comprehensive R Archive Network, or CRAN. Go to https://cloud.r-project.org and click on the ‘Packages’ tab.

We now decided to publish these workspaces on our demo server. Screenshot 1: o2r reference implementation listing of published Executable Research Compendia . The right-hand side shows a metadata summary including original authors. The papers were originally published in Journal of Statistical Software or in a Copernicus Publications journal under open licenses. We have created an R Markdown document for each paper based on the included data and code following the ERC specification for naming core files, but only included data, an R Markdown document and a HTML display file. The publication metadata, the runtime environment description (i.e. a Dockerfile ), and the runtime image (i.e. a Docker image tarball) were all created during the ERC creation process without any human interaction (see the used R code for upload), since required metadata were included in the R Markdown document’s front matter. The documents include selected figures or in some cases the whole paper, if runtime is not extremely long. While the paper’s authors are correctly linked in the workspace metadata (see right hand side in Screenshot 1), the “o2r author” of all papers is o2r team member Daniel since he made the uploads.

  • A Review of R Packages for Exploratory Data Analysis Kota Minegishia and Taro Mienob a University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, B University of Nebraska-Lincoln
    Teaching and Educational Methods Gold in Them Tha-R Hills: A Review of R Packages for Exploratory Data Analysis Kota Minegishia and Taro Mienob a University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, b University of Nebraska-Lincoln JEL Codes: A2, Q1, Y1 Keywords: Exploratory data analysis, data science, data visualization, R programming Abstract With an accelerated pace of data accumulation in the economy, there is a growing need for data literacy and practical skills to make use of data in the workforce. Applied economics programs have an important role to play in training students in those areas. Teaching tools of data exploration and visualization, also known as exploratory data analysis (EDA), would be a timely addition to existing curriculums. It would also present a new opportunity to engage students through hands-on exercises using real-world data in ways that differ from exercises in statistics. In this article, we review recent developments in the EDA toolkit for statistical computing freeware R, focusing on the tidy verse package. Our contributions are three-fold; we present this new generation of tools with a focus on its syntax structure; our examples show how one can use public data of the U.S. Census of Agriculture for data exploration; and we highlight the practical value of EDA in handling data, uncovering insights, and communicating key aspects of the data. 1 Introduction There’s gold in them thar hills! —Mark Twain in The American Claimant A hundred seventy years ago Americans flocked to California in search of gold. The Gold Rush left the country with a powerful image of massive realignment of capital and labor in search of new economic opportunities.
