Reading and writing data

code for topic 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 the same directory as the file

Read the data into R and assign it to emissions

file_csv  <-  here("_posts",  
                   "2022-02-17-reading-and-writing-data", 
                   "co-emissions-per-capita.csv")  

emissions   <-  read_csv(file_csv)

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

emissions

5- Start with emissions data THEN

• useclean_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()

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==1984 THEN
• useskim to calculate the descriptive statistics

tidy_emissions  %>% 
  filter(year==1984)  %>% 
  skim()

7- 12 observations have a missing code. how are these observations different - start with tidy_emissions then extract rows with year==1984 and are missing a code

tidy_emissions  %>% 
  filter(year==1984, is.na(code))

# A tibble: 12 × 4
   entity                     code   year annual_co2_emissions_per_ca…
   <chr>                      <chr> <dbl>                        <dbl>
 1 Africa                     <NA>   1984                         1.23
 2 Asia                       <NA>   1984                         1.74
 3 Asia (excl. China & India) <NA>   1984                         2.68
 4 EU-27                      <NA>   1984                         9.11
 5 EU-28                      <NA>   1984                         9.14

 8 Europe (excl. EU-28)       <NA>   1984                        13.3 
 9 North America              <NA>   1984                        13.9 
10 North America (excl. USA)  <NA>   1984                         5.21
11 Oceania                    <NA>   1984                        10.7 
12 South America              <NA>   1984                         1.87

Entities that are not countries do not have country codes

8. Start with tidy_emissions THEN

• usefilter to extract rows with year==1984 and without missing codes THEN
• useselect to drop the year variable THEN
• use rename to change the variable entity to country
• assign output to emissions_1984

emissions_1984  <- tidy_emissions %>% 
  filter(year==1984, !is.na(code))   %>% 
  select(-year)  %>% 
  rename(country=entity)

9. which 15 countries have the highest annual_co2_emissions_per_capita?

• start with emissions_1984 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_1984 %>% 
  slice_max(annual_co2_emissions_per_capita, n=15)

10- which 15 countries have the lowest annual_co2_emissions_per_capita?

• start with emissions_1984 THEN
• use slice_min to extract the 15 rows with the lowest values
• assign the output to min_15_emitters

min_15_emitters  <- emissions_1984  %>% 
  slice_min(annual_co2_emissions_per_capita, n=15)

11- 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)

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 = "|") # pipe-separated

14. Use sediff to check for any differences among max_min_15_csv, max_min_15_tsv andmax_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 1984 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 annual CO2 emmissions per capita",
       subtitle = "for 1984",
       x= NULL,
       y=NULL)

17- Save the plot directory with this post

ggsave(filename = "preview.png",
       path = here("_posts","2022-02-17-reading-and-writing-data"))

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