reading and writing data

Code and text for quiz 4.

1. Load the R packages we will use.

library(tidyverse)
library(here)
library(janitor)
library(skimr)

2. Download \(CO_2\) emissions per capita from Our World in Data into the directory for this post.

3. 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 emissons.

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

4. Show the first 10 rows (observations of) emissions.

# … with 23,297 more rows

5. Start with ‘emissions’ data THEN

• use ‘clean_names’ from the janitor package to make names easier to work with
• assign the output to ‘tidy_emissions’
• show the first 10 rows of ‘tidy_emissions’

tidy_emissions <- emission %>% 
  clean_names()

tidy_emissions

# A tibble: 23,307 × 4
   entity      code   year annual_co2_emissions_per_capita

10 Afghanistan AFG    1958                          0.038 
# … with 23,297 more rows

6. Start with the tidy_emissions THEN

• use ‘filter’ to extract rows with year==2004 THEN
• use skim to calculate the descriptive statistics.

tidy_emissions %>% 
  filter(year==2004) %>% 
  skim()

7. 12 observations have a missing code. How are these observations different?

• start with tidy_emissions then extract rows with year==2001 and are missing a code.

tidy_emissions %>% 
  filter(year==2004, is.na(code))

# A tibble: 12 × 4
   entity                     code   year annual_co2_emissions_per_ca…
   <chr>                      <chr> <dbl>                        <dbl>
 1 Africa                     <NA>   2004                         1.16
 2 Asia                       <NA>   2004                         2.97
 3 Asia (excl. China & India) <NA>   2004                         3.61
 4 EU-27                      <NA>   2004                         8.68
 5 EU-28                      <NA>   2004                         8.79
 6 Europe                     <NA>   2004                         8.81
 7 Europe (excl. EU-27)       <NA>   2004                         8.96
 8 Europe (excl. EU-28)       <NA>   2004                         8.80
 9 North America              <NA>   2004                        14.5 
10 North America (excl. USA)  <NA>   2004                         5.53
11 Oceania                    <NA>   2004                        13.2 
12 South America              <NA>   2004                         2.36

Entities that are not countries do not have country codes.

8.Start with tidy_emissions THEN

• use filter to extract rows with year==2004 and without missing codes THEN
• use select to drop the ‘year’ variable THEN
• use renameto charge the variable entity to country
• assign the output to emissions_2004

emissions_2004 <- tidy_emissions %>% 
  filter(year==2004, !is.na(code)) %>% 
  select(-year) %>% 
  rename(country=entity)

9. Which 15 countries have the highest annual_co2_emissions_per_capita?

• start with emissions_2019 THEN
• use slice_max to extract the 15 rows of the annual_co2_emissions_per_capita
• assign the output to max_15_emitters

max_15_emitters <- emissions_2004 %>% 
  slice_max(annual_co2_emissions_per_capita, n=15)

10. Which 15 countries have the lowest annual_co2_emissions_per_capita?

• start with ‘emissions_2004’ THEN
• use slice_min to extract the 15 rows with the lowest values
• assign the output to min_15_emitters

min_15_emitters <- emissions_2004 %>% 
  slice_min(annual_co2_emissions_per_capita, n=15)

11. Use blind_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)

12. 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

13. 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 = "|") 

14. 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)

# A tibble: 0 × 3
# … with 3 variables: country <chr>, code <chr>,
#   annual_co2_emissions_per_capita <dbl>

Are there any differences?

15. Reorder country in max_min_15 for plotting and assign to max_min_15_plot_data

• start with `emissions_2004 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))

16. 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 2004", 
       x = NULL, 
       y = NULL)  

17. Save the plot directory with this post

ggsave(filename = "preview.png", 
       path = here("_posts", "2022-02-21-reading-and-writing-data"))

18. Add preview.png to yaml chuck at the top of this file
