Load Libraries

# if you haven't run this code before, you'll need to download the below packages first
# instructions on how to do this are included in the video
# but as a reminder, you use the packages tab to the right

library(psych) # for the describe() command
library(naniar) # for the gg_miss-upset() command
library(expss) # for the cross_cases() command
## Loading required package: maditr
## 
## To modify variables or add new variables:
##              let(mtcars, new_var = 42, new_var2 = new_var*hp) %>% head()
## 
## Attaching package: 'expss'
## The following object is masked from 'package:naniar':
## 
##     is_na

Import Data

# for the lab, you'll import the CSV file you downloaded along with the current file we're working in (an RMD file)
# for the homework, you'll download the CSV file from your chosen README page (should be titled arc_data_final.csv or eammi2_data_final.csv)
df <- read.csv(file="Data/arc_data_final-1.csv", header=T)

Viewing Data

# these are commands useful for viewing a dataframe
# you can also click the object in the environment tab to view it in a new window

Subsetting Data

I had to change one of my variables, as covid_neg had 0’s for every value and was not functional for this purpose. I replaced it with the GAD as I feel it will still give me similar results for analysis

# for the HW: use the codebook you created in the codebook activity to get the names of your variables (first column)
# enter this list of names in the select=c() argument to subset those columns from the dataframe
# variables for the lab: id, variable2, variable3, variable5, variable8, variable10, variable11
d <- subset(df, select=c(health, mhealth, gad, phq, iou, pas_covid))

Recoding Variables

# categorical variables need to be recoded as factors
# the content of the variable will stay the same, but R will treat the variable differently at times
d$health <- as.factor(d$health)
d$mhealth <- as.factor(d$mhealth)

str(d)
## 'data.frame':    2073 obs. of  6 variables:
##  $ health   : Factor w/ 11 levels "cancer","diabetes",..: 9 9 9 11 NA 9 9 9 11 11 ...
##  $ mhealth  : Factor w/ 8 levels "anxiety disorder",..: 5 1 5 5 5 5 3 5 1 5 ...
##  $ gad      : num  1.86 3.86 1.14 2 NA ...
##  $ phq      : num  1.33 3.33 1 2.33 NA ...
##  $ iou      : num  3.19 4 1.59 3.37 NA ...
##  $ pas_covid: num  3.22 4.56 3.33 4.22 NA ...

Missing Data

When looking at the missing variables, we’re able to see that nearly 500 people did not answer or finish answering the questions for three of the variables on top of the 300+ others who didn’t answer a combination of other questions. This leaves us with only 54% of our variables left to use. For this course we’ll continue to use this data even if it isn’t advisable

# use the gg_miss_upset() command for a visualization of your missing data
gg_miss_upset(d[-1], nsets = 6)

# use the na.omit() command to create a new dataframe in which any participants with missing data are dropped from the dataframe
d2 <- na.omit(d)

Exporting Data

# last step is to export the data after you've dropped NAs
# for the HW, the file you're exporting here is what you'll use for all future HW assignments (labs will use the files I provide you)
# make sure you give it a name that is memorable!
# and make sure you save it to your Data folder!
write.csv(d2, file="Data/Covid_Data_Final.csv", row.names = F)

# since we've created a cleaned dataframe in d2, we'll use that for the rest of the lab/HW

Univariate Normality

For our four continuous variables, we see that they fall within the range of -2/+2, so everything seems to be in order for our data usage.
