Barplots

Now lets take a look at some ggplot2 barplots

We’ll start by making a dataframe based on the tooth data.

df <- data.frame(dose = c("D0.5", "D1", "D2"), 
                 len = c(4.2, 10, 29.5))

df
##   dose  len
## 1 D0.5  4.2
## 2   D1 10.0
## 3   D2 29.5

And now lets make a second dataframe

df2 <- data.frame(supp=rep(c("vc", "oj"), each = 3), 
                  dose = rep(c("D0.5", "D1", "D2"), 2),
                  len = c(6.8, 15, 33, 4.2, 10, 29.5))

df2
##   supp dose  len
## 1   vc D0.5  6.8
## 2   vc   D1 15.0
## 3   vc   D2 33.0
## 4   oj D0.5  4.2
## 5   oj   D1 10.0
## 6   oj   D2 29.5

Let’s load up ggplot2

library(ggplot2)

Let’s set our parameters for ggplot

theme_set(
  theme_classic() +
    theme(legend.position = "top")
)

Let’s start with some basic barplots using the tooth data

f <- ggplot(df, aes(x = dose, y = len))

f + geom_col()

Now let’s change the fill, and add labels to the top

f + geom_col(fill = "darkblue") + 
  geom_text(aes(label = len), vjust = -0.3)

Now let’s add the labels inside the bars

f + geom_col(fill = "blue") + 
  geom_text(aes(label = len), vjust = 1.6, color = "white")

Now let’s change the barplot colors by group

f + geom_col(aes(color = dose), fill = "white") +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("blue", "gold", "red"))

This is kinda hard to see, so let’s change the fill

f + geom_col(aes(fill = dose)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("blue", "gold", "red"))

When looking at multiple groups

ggplot(df2, aes(x = dose, y = len)) +
  geom_col(aes(color = supp, fill = supp), position = position_stack()) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("blue", "gold")) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("blue", "gold"))

Now let’s put them next to each other

p <- ggplot(df2, aes(x = dose, y = len)) +
  geom_col(aes(color = supp, fill = supp), position = position_dodge(0.8), width = 0.7) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("blue", "gold")) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("blue", "gold"))

You can save your graph into a varible and then call it

p

Now let’s add the labels to the dodged barplot

p + geom_text(
  aes(label = len, group = supp),
  position = position_dodge(0.8), 
  vjust = -0.3, size = 5
)

Now what if we want to add labels to our stacked barplots? For this we need dplyr

library(dplyr)
## 
## Attaching package: 'dplyr'
## The following objects are masked from 'package:stats':
## 
##     filter, lag
## The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
## 
##     intersect, setdiff, setequal, union
df2 <- df2 %>%
  group_by(dose) %>%
  arrange(dose, desc(supp)) %>%
  mutate(lab_ypos = cumsum(len) - 0.5 * len)
df2
## # A tibble: 6 × 4
## # Groups:   dose [3]
##   supp  dose    len lab_ypos
##   <chr> <chr> <dbl>    <dbl>
## 1 vc    D0.5    6.8      3.4
## 2 oj    D0.5    4.2      8.9
## 3 vc    D1     15        7.5
## 4 oj    D1     10       20  
## 5 vc    D2     33       16.5
## 6 oj    D2     29.5     47.8

Now let’s recreate our stacked graphs

ggplot(df2, aes(x = dose, y = len)) +
  geom_col(aes(fill = supp), width = 0.7) +
  geom_text(aes(y = lab_ypos, label = len, group = supp), color = "white") +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("blue", "gold")) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("blue", "gold"))

Boxplots

Let’s look at some boxplots

data("ToothGrowth")

Let’s change the dose to a factor, and look at the top of the dataframe

ToothGrowth$dose <- as.factor(ToothGrowth$dose)

head(ToothGrowth, 4)
##    len supp dose
## 1  4.2   VC  0.5
## 2 11.5   VC  0.5
## 3  7.3   VC  0.5
## 4  5.8   VC  0.5

Let’s load ggplot

library(ggplot2)

Let’s set the theme for our plots to classic

theme_set(
  theme_bw() +
    theme(legend.position = "top")
)

Let’s start with a very basic boxplot

tg <- ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x = dose, y = len))
tg + geom_boxplot()

tg + geom_boxplot(notch = TRUE, fill = "lightgrey") +
  stat_summary(fun.y = mean, geom = "point", shape = 18, size = 2.5, color = "indianred")
## Warning: The `fun.y` argument of `stat_summary()` is deprecated as of ggplot2 3.3.0.
## ℹ Please use the `fun` argument instead.
## This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.
## Call `lifecycle::last_lifecycle_warnings()` to see where this warning was
## generated.

We can also change the scale number of variables included, and their order

tg + geom_boxplot() +
  scale_x_discrete(limits = c("0.5", "2"))
## Warning: Removed 20 rows containing missing values (`stat_boxplot()`).

Let’s put our x axis in descending order

tg + geom_boxplot() +
  scale_x_discrete(limits = c("2", "1", "0.5"))

We can also change boxplot colors by groups

tg + geom_boxplot(aes(color = dose)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("indianred", "blue1", "green2"))

What if we want to display our data subset by oj VS vitamin c?

tg2 <- tg + geom_boxplot(aes(fill = supp), postition = position_dodge(0.9)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("#999999", "#E69F00"))
## Warning in geom_boxplot(aes(fill = supp), postition = position_dodge(0.9)):
## Ignoring unknown parameters: `postition`
tg2

We can also arrange this as two plots with facet_wrap

tg2 + facet_wrap(~supp)

Histograms

Lets create some histograms

set.seed(1234)

wdata = data.frame(
  sex = factor(rep(c("F", "W"), each = 200)),
  weight = c(rnorm(200, 56), rnorm(200, 58))
)

head(wdata, 4)
##   sex   weight
## 1   F 54.79293
## 2   F 56.27743
## 3   F 57.08444
## 4   F 53.65430

Now lets load dplyr

library(dplyr)

mu <- wdata %>%
  group_by(sex) %>%
  summarise(grp.mean = mean(weight))

Now lets load the plotting package

library(ggplot2)

theme_set(
  theme_classic() +
    theme(legend.position = "bottom")
)

Now lets create a ggplot object

a <- ggplot(wdata, aes(x = weight))

a + geom_histogram(bins = 30, color = "black", fill = 'gray') +
  geom_vline(aes(xintercept = mean(weight)),
             linetype = "dashed", size = 0.6)
## Warning: Using `size` aesthetic for lines was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
## ℹ Please use `linewidth` instead.
## This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.
## Call `lifecycle::last_lifecycle_warnings()` to see where this warning was
## generated.

Now lets change the color by group

a + geom_histogram(aes(color = sex), fill = 'white', position = 'identity') +
  scale_color_manual(values = c('#00AFBB', '#E7B800'))
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

a + geom_histogram(aes(color = sex, fill = sex), position = 'identity') +
  scale_color_manual(values = c('#00AFBB', '#E7B800')) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c('indianred', 'lightblue1'))
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

What if we want to combine density plots and histograms?

a + geom_histogram(aes(y = stat(density)),
                   color = 'black', fill = 'white') +
  geom_density(alpha = 0.2, fill = '#FF6666')
## Warning: `stat(density)` was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
## ℹ Please use `after_stat(density)` instead.
## This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.
## Call `lifecycle::last_lifecycle_warnings()` to see where this warning was
## generated.
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

a + geom_histogram(aes(y = stat(density), color = sex),
                   fill = 'white', position = 'identity') +
  geom_density(aes(color = sex), size = 1) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c('indianred', 'lightblue1'))
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Dotplots

First lets load the required packages

library(ggplot2)

Lets set our theme

theme_set(
  theme_dark() +
    theme(legend.position = 'top')
)

First lets initiate a ggplot object called TG

data("ToothGrowth")
ToothGrowth$dose <- as.factor(ToothGrowth$dose)

tg <- ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x=dose, y = len))

Lets create a dotplot with a summary statistic

tg + geom_dotplot(binaxis = "y", stackdir = "center", fill = "indianred") +
  stat_summary(fun = mean, fun.args = list(mult=1))
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.
## Warning: Removed 3 rows containing missing values (`geom_segment()`).

Lets add a boxplot and a dotplot together

tg + geom_boxplot(width=0.5) +
  geom_dotplot(binaxis = "y", stackdir = "center", fill = "indianred")
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.

Lets create a violin plot and a dotplot together

tg + geom_violin(trim = FALSE) +
  geom_dotplot(binaxis = "y", stackdir = "center", fill = "#999999") +
  stat_summary(fun = mean, fun.args = list(mult=1))
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.
## Warning: Removed 3 rows containing missing values (`geom_segment()`).

Lets create a dotplot with multiple groups

tg + geom_boxplot(width=0.5) +
  geom_dotplot(aes(fill=supp), binaxis = 'y', stackdir = 'center') +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("indianred", "lightblue1"))
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.

Lets make it to were each supplement is shown

tg + geom_boxplot(aes(color = supp), width = 0.5, position = position_dodge(0.8)) +
  geom_dotplot(aes(fill = supp, color = supp), binaxis = 'y', stackdir = 'center',
               dotsize = 0.8, position = position_dodge(0.8)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800")) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800"))
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.

Lineplots

Now lets chnage it up and look at some line plots

We’ll start by making a custom dataframe, kinda like the tooth dataset. This way we can see the lines and stuff thata we’re modifying.

df <- data.frame(dose = c("D0.5", "D1", "D2"),
                 len = c(4.2, 10, 29.5))

Now lets create a second dataframe for plotting by groups

df2 <- data.frame(supp = rep(c("VC", "OJ"), each = 3),
                  dose = rep(c("D0.5", "D1", "D2"), 2),
                  len = c(6.8, 15, 33, 4.2, 10, 29.5))

df2
##   supp dose  len
## 1   VC D0.5  6.8
## 2   VC   D1 15.0
## 3   VC   D2 33.0
## 4   OJ D0.5  4.2
## 5   OJ   D1 10.0
## 6   OJ   D2 29.5

Now lets again load ggplot2 and set a theme

library(ggplot2)

theme_set(
  theme_gray() +
    theme(legend.position = "right")

)

Now lets do some basic lineplots.

First we will build a function to display all the different line types.

generateRLineTypes <- function(){
  oldpar <- par()
  par(font = 2, mar = c(0,0,0,0))
  plot(1, pch="", ylim =c(0,6), xlim=c(0,0.7), axes = FALSE, xlab = "", ylab = "")
  for(i in 0:6) lines(c(0.3,0.7), c(i,i), lty=i, lwd = 3)
  text(rep(0.1,6), 0:6, labels = c("0.'Blank'", "1.'solid'", "2.'dashed'", "3.'dotted'",
                                   "4.'dotdash'", "5.'longdash'", "6.'twodash'"))
  par(mar=oldpar$mar, font=oldpar$font)
}

generateRLineTypes()

Now lets build a basic lineplot

p <- ggplot(data = df, aes(x = dose, y = len, group = 1))

p + geom_line() + geom_point()

Now lets modify the line type and color

p + geom_line(linetype = "dashed", color = "steelblue") +
  geom_point(color = "steelblue")

Now lets try a step graph, which indicates a threshold type progression

p + geom_step() + geom_point()

Now lets move on to making multiple groups.

First we’ll create our ggplot object.

p <- ggplot(df2, aes(x = dose, y = len, group = supp))

Now lets change line tyoes and point shapes by group

p + geom_line(aes(linetype = supp, color = supp)) +
  geom_point(aes(shape = supp, color = supp)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("red", "blue"))

Now lets look at lineplots with a numeric x-axis

df3 <- data.frame(supp = rep(c("VC", "OJ"), each = 3),
                  dose = rep(c("0.5", "1", "2"), 2),
                  len=c(6.8, 15, 33, 4.2, 10, 29.5))

df3
##   supp dose  len
## 1   VC  0.5  6.8
## 2   VC    1 15.0
## 3   VC    2 33.0
## 4   OJ  0.5  4.2
## 5   OJ    1 10.0
## 6   OJ    2 29.5

Now lets plot where both axises are treated as continuous labels

df3$dose <- as.numeric(as.vector(df3$dose))
ggplot(data = df3, aes(x = dose, y = len, group = supp, color = supp)) +
  geom_line() + geom_point()

Now lets look at a line graph with having the x-axis as dates.

We’ll use the built in economics time series for this example.

head(economics)
## # A tibble: 6 × 6
##   date         pce    pop psavert uempmed unemploy
##   <date>     <dbl>  <dbl>   <dbl>   <dbl>    <dbl>
## 1 1967-07-01  507. 198712    12.6     4.5     2944
## 2 1967-08-01  510. 198911    12.6     4.7     2945
## 3 1967-09-01  516. 199113    11.9     4.6     2958
## 4 1967-10-01  512. 199311    12.9     4.9     3143
## 5 1967-11-01  517. 199498    12.8     4.7     3066
## 6 1967-12-01  525. 199657    11.8     4.8     3018
ggplot(data = economics, aes(x = date, y = pop)) +
  geom_line()

Now lets subset the data

ss <- subset(economics, date > as.Date("2006-1-1"))
ggplot(data = ss, aes(x = date, y = pop)) + geom_line()

We can also change the line size, for instance by another variable like unemployment

ggplot(data = economics, aes(x = date, y = pop)) +
  geom_line(aes(size = unemploy/pop))

We can also plot multiple time-series data

ggplot(economics, aes(x = date)) +
  geom_line(aes(y = psavert), color = "darkred") +
  geom_line(aes(y = uempmed), color = "steelblue", linetype = "twodash")

Lastly, lets make this into an area plot

ggplot(economics, aes(x = date)) +
  geom_area(aes(y = psavert), fill = "#999999",
            color = "#999999", alpha = 0.5) +
  geom_area(aes(y = uempmed), fill = "#E69F00",
            color = "#E69F00", alpha = 0.5)

Ridge Plots

First lets install the required packages

install.packages("ggridges", dependencies = TRUE)
## Installing package into '/home/student/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3'
## (as 'lib' is unspecified)
library(ggplot2)
library(ggridges)

#BiocManager::install("ggridges")

Now lets load som sample data

?airquality
air <- ggplot(airquality) + aes(Temp, Month, group = Month) + geom_density_ridges()

air
## Picking joint bandwidth of 2.65

Now lets add some pazazz to our graph

library(viridis)
## Loading required package: viridisLite
ggplot(airquality) + aes(Temp, Month, group = Month, fill = ..x..) +
  geom_density_ridges_gradient() +
  scale_fill_viridis(option = "C", name = "Temp")
## Warning: The dot-dot notation (`..x..`) was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
## ℹ Please use `after_stat(x)` instead.
## This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.
## Call `lifecycle::last_lifecycle_warnings()` to see where this warning was
## generated.
## Picking joint bandwidth of 2.65

The last thing we will do is create a facet plot for all our data.

library(tidyr)

airquality %>%
gather(key = "Measurement", value = "value", Ozone, Solar.R, Wind, Temp) %>%
  ggplot() + aes(value, Month, group = Month) +
  geom_density_ridges() +
  facet_wrap(~ Measurement, scales = "free")
## Picking joint bandwidth of 11
## Picking joint bandwidth of 40.1
## Picking joint bandwidth of 2.65
## Picking joint bandwidth of 1.44
## Warning: Removed 44 rows containing non-finite values
## (`stat_density_ridges()`).

Density Plots

A density plot is a nice alternative to a histogram

set.seed(1234)

wdata = data.frame(
  sex = factor(rep(c("F", "M"), each = 200)),
  weight = c(rnorm(200, 55), rnorm(200, 58))
)
library(dplyr)
mu <- wdata %>%
  group_by(sex) %>%
summarise(grp.mean = mean(weight))

Now lets load the graphing packages

library(ggplot2)
theme_set(
  theme_classic() +
    theme(legend.position = "right")
)

Now lets do the basic plot function.

First we will create a ggplot object

d <- ggplot(wdata, aes(x = weight))

Now lets do a basic density plot

d + geom_density() +
  geom_vline(aes(xintercept = mean(weight)), linetype = "dashed")

Now lets change the y=axis to count instead of density

d + geom_density(aes(y = stat(count)), fill = "lightgrey") +
  geom_vline(aes(xintercept = mean(weight)), linetype = "dashed")

Now lets change it to color by sex

d + geom_density(aes(color = sex)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("darkgrey", "gold"))

Lastly, lets fill the density plots

d + geom_density(aes(fill = sex), alpha = 0.4) +
  geom_vline(aes(xintercept = grp.mean, color = sex), data = mu, linetype = "dashed") +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("grey", "gold")) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("grey", "gold"))

Plotly

Line Plots

First lets load our required packages

library(plotly)
## 
## Attaching package: 'plotly'
## The following object is masked from 'package:ggplot2':
## 
##     last_plot
## The following object is masked from 'package:stats':
## 
##     filter
## The following object is masked from 'package:graphics':
## 
##     layout

Lets start with a scatter plot of the orange dataset

orange <- as.data.frame(Orange)

plot_ly(data = orange, x = ~age, y = ~circumference)
## No trace type specified:
##   Based on info supplied, a 'scatter' trace seems appropriate.

##   Read more about this attribute -> https://plotly.com/r/reference/#scatter-mode

Now lets add some more info

plot_ly(data = orange, x = ~age, y = ~circumference,
        color = ~Tree, size = ~age,
        text = ~paste("Tree ID:", Tree, "<br>Age", age, "circ:", circumference)

## Warning: `line.width` does not currently support multiple values.

Now lets create a random distribution and add it to our dataframe

trace_1 <- rnorm(35, mean = 120, sd = 10)
new_data <- data.frame(orange, trace_1)

We’ll use the random number as lines on the graph

plot_ly(data = new_data, x = ~age, y = ~circumference, color = ~Tree, size = ~age,
        text = ~paste("Tree ID:", Tree, "<br>Age", age, "<br>circ:", circumference)) %>%
  add_trace(y = ~trace_1, mode = 'lines') %>%
  add_trace(y = ~circumference, mode = 'markers')

Now lets create a graph with the option of showing as a scatter or line, and add labels.

plot_ly(data = orange, x = ~age, y = ~circumference,
        color = ~Tree, size = ~age,
        text = ~paste("Tree ID:", Tree, "<br>Age", age, "circ:", circumference)) %>%
  add_trace(y = ~circumference, mode = 'markers') %>%
  layout(
    title = "Plot or Orange Data with Switchable Trace",
    updatemenus = list(

      y = 0.8,
      buttons = list(
        list(method = 'restyle',
             args = list('mode', 'markers'),
             label = "Marker"
        ),
        list(method = "restyle",
             args = list('mode', 'lines'),

Since the dropdown menu wouldn’t show up I used a code helper to fix the issue

plot_ly(data = orange, x = ~age, y = ~circumference,
        color = ~Tree, size = ~age,
        text = ~paste("Tree ID:", Tree, "<br>Age", age, "circ:", circumference)) %>%
  add_trace(y = ~circumference, mode = 'markers') %>%

Plotly 3D

First lets load our required packages

library(plotly)

Now lets create a random 3D matrix

d <- data.frame(
  x <- seq(1,10, by = 0.5),
  y <- seq(1,10, by = 0.5)
)

z <- matrix(rnorm(length(d$x) * length(d$y)), nrow = length(d$x), ncol = length(d$y))

Now lets plot our 3D data

plot_ly(d, x = ~x, y = ~y, z = ~z) %>%
  add_surface()

Lets add some more aspects to it, such as topography

plot_ly(d, x = ~x, y = ~y, z = ~z) %>%
  add_surface(
    contours = list(
      z = list(
        show = TRUE,
        usecolormap = TRUE,
        highlightcolor = "#FF0000",
        project = list(z = TRUE)
      )
    )
  )

Now lets look at a 3D scatter plot

plot_ly(longley, x = ~GNP, y = ~Population, z = ~Employed, marker = list(color = ~GNP)) %>%
  add_markers()

Other Graphing Techniques

Error Bars

First lets load our required libraries

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(plotrix)

theme_set(
  theme_classic() +
    theme(legend.position = 'top')
)

Let’s again use the tooth data for this exercise

df <- ToothGrowth

df$dose <- as.factor(df$dose)

Now lets use dplyr for manipulation purposes

df.summary <- df %>%
  group_by(dose) %>%
  summarise(
    sd = sd(len, na.rm = TRUE),
    stderr = std.error(len, na.rm = TRUE),
    len = mean(len)
  )

df.summary
## # A tibble: 3 × 4
##   dose     sd stderr   len
##   <fct> <dbl>  <dbl> <dbl>
## 1 0.5    4.50  1.01   10.6
## 2 1      4.42  0.987  19.7
## 3 2      3.77  0.844  26.1

Lets now look at some key functions

  • geom_crossbar(): for hollow bars with middle indicated by a horizontal line
  • geom_errorbar(): for error bars
  • geom_errorbarh(): for horizontal error bars
  • geom_linerange(): for drawing an interval represented by a vertical line
  • geom_pointrange(): for creating an interval represented by a vertical line; with a point in the middle

Lets star by creating a ggplot object

tg <- ggplot(
  df.summary,
  aes(x = dose, y = len, ymin = len - sd, ymax = len + sd)
)

Now lets look at the most basic error bars

tg + geom_pointrange()

tg + geom_errorbar(width = 0.2) +
  geom_point(size = 1.5)

Now lets create horizontal error bars by manipulating our graph

ggplot(df.summary, aes(x = len, y = dose, xmin = len - sd, xmax = len + sd)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_errorbarh(height = 0.2)

This just gives you an idea of error bars on the horizontal axis

Now lets look at adding jitter points (actual measurements) to our data

ggplot(df, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_jitter(position = position_jitter(0.2), color = 'darkgrey') +
  geom_pointrange(aes(ymin = len - sd, ymax = len + sd), data = df.summary)

Now lets try error bars on a violin plot

ggplot(df, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_violin(color = 'darkgrey', trim = FALSE) +
  geom_pointrange(aes(ymin = len - sd, ymax = len + sd), data = df.summary)

Now how about a line graph?

ggplot(df.summary, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_line(aes(group = 1)) + # always specify this when you have 1 line
  geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = len - stderr, ymax = len + stderr), width = 0.2) +
  geom_point(size = 2)

Now lets make a bar graph with halve error bars

ggplot(df.summary, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_col(fill = 'lightgrey', color = 'black') +
  geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = len, ymax = len + stderr), width = 0.2)

You can see that by not specifying ymin = len - stderr, we have in essence cut our error bar in half

How about we add jitter points to line plots? We need to use the original dataframe for the jitter plot, and the summary df for the geom layers.

ggplot(df, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_jitter(position = position_jitter(0.2), color = 'darkgrey') +
  geom_line(aes(group = 1), data = df.summary) +
  geom_errorbar(
    aes(ymin = len - stderr, ymax = len + stderr),
    data = df.summary, width = 0.2) +
  geom_point(data = df.summary, size = 0.2)

What about adding jitterpoints to a barplot?

ggplot(df, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_col(data = df.summary, fill = NA, color = 'black') +
  geom_jitter(position = position_jitter(0.2), color = 'limegreen') +
  geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = len - stderr, ymax = len + stderr),
                data = df.summary, width = 0.2)

What if we wanted to have our error bars per group? (OJ vs VC)

df.summary2 <- df %>%
  group_by(dose, supp) %>%
  summarise(
    sd = sd(len),
    stderr = std.error(len),
    len = mean(len)
  )
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'dose'. You can override using the
## `.groups` argument.
df.summary2
## # A tibble: 6 × 5
## # Groups:   dose [3]
##   dose  supp     sd stderr   len
##   <fct> <fct> <dbl>  <dbl> <dbl>
## 1 0.5   OJ     4.46  1.41  13.2 
## 2 0.5   VC     2.75  0.869  7.98
## 3 1     OJ     3.91  1.24  22.7 
## 4 1     VC     2.52  0.795 16.8 
## 5 2     OJ     2.66  0.840 26.1 
## 6 2     VC     4.80  1.52  26.1

Now you can see we have mean and error for each dose and supp

ggplot(df.summary2, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_pointrange(
    aes(ymin = len - stderr, ymax = len + stderr, color = supp),
    position = position_dodge(0.3)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c('indianred', 'lightblue'))

How about line plots with multiple error bars?

ggplot(df.summary2, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_line(aes(linetype = supp, group = supp)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = len - stderr, ymax = len + stderr, group = supp), width = 0.2)

And the same with a bar plot

ggplot(df.summary2, aes(dose, len)) +
  geom_col(aes(fill = supp), position = position_dodge(0.8), width = 0.7) +
  geom_errorbar(
    aes(ymin = len - sd, ymax = len + sd, group = supp),
    width = 0.2, position = position_dodge(0.8)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c('indianred', 'lightblue'))

Now lets add some jitterpoints

ggplot(df, aes(dose, len, color = supp)) +
  geom_jitter(position = position_dodge(0.2)) +
  geom_line(aes(group = supp), data = df.summary2) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = len - stderr, ymax = len +stderr, group = supp), data = df.summary2, width = 0.2)

ggplot(df, aes(dose, len, color = supp)) +
  geom_col(data = df.summary2, position = position_dodge(0.8), width = 0.7, fill = 'white') +
  geom_jitter(
    position = position_jitterdodge(jitter.width = 0.2, dodge.width = 0.8)) +
  geom_errorbar(
    aes(ymin = len - stderr, ymax = len + stderr), data = df.summary2,
    width = 0.2, position = position_dodge(0.8)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c('indianred', 'lightblue')) +
  theme(legend.position = "top")

ECDF Plots

Now lets do an empirical cumulative distribution function.

This reports any given number percentile of individuals that are above or below that threshold.

set.seed(1234)

wdata = data.frame(
  sex = factor(rep(c("F", "M"), each = 200)),
  weight = c(rnorm(200, 55), rnorm(200, 58)))

Now lets look at our dataframe

head(wdata, 5)
##   sex   weight
## 1   F 53.79293
## 2   F 55.27743
## 3   F 56.08444
## 4   F 52.65430
## 5   F 55.42912

Now lets load our plotting package

library(ggplot2)

theme_set(
  theme_classic() +
    theme(legend.position = "bottom")
)

Now lets create our ECDF plot

ggplot(wdata, aes(x = weight)) +
  stat_ecdf(aes(color = sex, linetype = sex),
            geom = "step", size = 1.5) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B900")) +
  labs(y ="weight")

qq Plots

Now lets take a look at qq plots.

These are used to determine if the given data follows a normal distribution

Lets begin by installing the package, if not already installed remove the “#”

#install.packages("ggpubr")
set.seed(1234)

Now lets randomly generate some data

wdata = data.frame(
  sex = factor(rep(c("F", "M"), each = 200)),
  weight = c(rnorm(200, 55), rnorm(200, 58))
)

Lets set our theme for graphing with ggplot

library(ggplot2)

theme_set(
  theme_classic() +
    theme(legend.position = "top")
)

Now lets create a qq plot of the weight

ggplot(wdata, aes(sample = weight)) +
  stat_qq(aes(color = sex)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("#0073C2FF", "#FC4E07")) +
  labs(y = "weight")

There is another way to do this with a different package that makes them look cleaner

install.packages("ggpubr")
## Installing package into '/home/student/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3'
## (as 'lib' is unspecified)
library(ggpubr)

ggqqplot(wdata, x = "weight",
         color = "sex",
         palettes = c("#0073C2FF", "#FC4E07"),
         ggtheme = theme_pubclean())

Now what would a non-normal distribution look like?

#install.packages(mnonr)

library(mnonr)

data2 <- mnonr::mnonr(n = 1000, p = 2, ms = 3, mk = 61, Sigma = matrix(c(1, 0.5, 0.5, 1), 2, 2), initial = NULL)

data2 <- as.data.frame(data2)

Now lets plot the non-normal data

ggplot(data2, aes(sample = V1)) +
  stat_qq()

Now we will use the second method for the same data

ggqqplot(data2, x = "V1",
         palette = "#0073C2FF",
         ggtheme = theme_pubclean())

Facet Plots

Lets begin with looking at how to put multiple plots together into a single figure

library(ggpubr)
library(ggplot2)

theme_set(
  theme_bw() +
    theme(legend.position = "top")
)

First lets create a nice boxplot

Begin by loading the data

df <- ToothGrowth

df$dose <- as.factor(df$dose)

Next create the plot object

p <- ggplot(df, aes(x = dose, y = len)) +
  geom_boxplot(aes(fill = supp), position = position_dodge(0.9)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800"))

p

Now lets look at the ggplot facet function

p + facet_grid(rows = vars(supp))

Now lets do a facet with multiple variables

p + facet_grid(rows = vars(dose), cols = vars(supp))

p

Now lets look at the facet_wrap function, which allows for facets to be placed sid-by-side

p + facet_wrap(vars(dose), ncol = 2)

Now how do we combine multiple plots using ggarange()

Lets start by making some basic plots.

First we will define a color palette and data

my3cols <- c("#e7b800", "#2e9fdf", "#fc4e07")

ToothGrowth$dose <- as.factor(ToothGrowth$dose)

Now lets make some basic plots

p <- ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x= dose, y = len))

bxp <- p + geom_boxplot(aes(color = dose)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = my3cols)

Now lets do a dotplot

dp <- p + geom_dotplot(aes(color = dose, fill = dose),
                       binaxis = 'y', stackdir = 'center') +
  scale_color_manual(values = my3cols) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = my3cols)

Now lastly lets create a lineplot

lp <- ggplot(economics, aes(x = date, y = psavert)) +
  geom_line(color = 'indianred')

Now we can make the figure

figure <- ggarrange(bxp, dp, lp, labels = c("A", "B", "C"), ncol = 2, nrow = 2)
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.
figure

This looks great, but we can make it look even better

figure2 <- ggarrange(
  lp,
  ggarrange(bxp, dp, ncol = 2, labels = c("B", "C")),
  nrow = 2,
  labels = "A")
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.
figure2

Ok this looks really great, but you will notice there are two legends that are the same

ggarrange(
  bxp, dp, labels = c("A", "B"), 
  common.legend = TRUE, legend = "bottom")
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.

Lastly we should export the plot

ggexport(figure2, filename = "facetfigure.pdf")
## file saved to facetfigure.pdf

We can also export multiple plots to a pdf

ggexport(bxp, dp,lp, filename = "multi.pdf")
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.
## file saved to multi.pdf

Lastly, we can export to pdf with multiple pages and multiple columns

ggexport(bxp, dp, lp, bxp, filename = "test2.pdf", nrow = 2, ncol = 1)
## Bin width defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data. Pick better value with
## `binwidth`.
## file saved to test2.pdf

Heatmaps

Lets get started with heat maps

First install the required packages

#install.packages(heatmap3)

Next load the required libraries

library(heatmap3)

Now lets acquire our data

data <- ldeaths

data2 <- do.call(cbind, split(data, cycle(data)))

dimnames(data2) <- dimnames(.preformat.ts(data))

Now lets generate a heat map

heatmap(data2)

heatmap(data2, Rowv = NA, Colv = NA)

Now lets play with the colors

rc <- rainbow(nrow(data2), start = 0, end = 0.3)

cc <- rainbow(ncol(data2), start = 0, end = 0.3)

Now lets apply our color selections

heatmap(data2, ColSideColors = cc)

library(RColorBrewer)

heatmap(data2, ColSideColors = cc,
        col = colorRampPalette(brewer.pal(8, "PiYG"))(25))

Theres more that we can customize

library(gplots)
## 
## Attaching package: 'gplots'
## The following object is masked from 'package:plotrix':
## 
##     plotCI
## The following object is masked from 'package:stats':
## 
##     lowess
heatmap.2(data2, ColSideColors = cc,
        col = colorRampPalette(brewer.pal(8, "PiYG"))(25))

Outlier Detection

Missing Values

Missing Values

If you encounter an unusual value in your dataset, and simply want to move on to the rest of your analysis, you have two options:

Drop the entire row with the strange values:

library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)

diamonds <- diamonds

diamonds2 <- diamonds %>%
  filter(between(y, 3, 20))

In this instance, y is the width of the diamond, so anything under 3mm or above 20mm is excluded

I don’t recomend this option, just because there is one bad measurement doesn’t meanthey are all bad

Instead, I recommend replacing the unusual values with missing values

diamonds3 <- diamonds %>%
  mutate(y = ifelse(y < 3 | y > 20, NA, y))

Like R, ggplot2 subscribes to the idea that the missing values shouldn’t pass silently into the night

ggplot(data = diamonds3, mapping = aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_point()
## Warning: Removed 9 rows containing missing values (`geom_point()`).

If you want to supress that warning, you can use na.rm = TRUE

ggplot(data = diamonds3, mapping = aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_point(na.rm = TRUE)

Other times you want to understand what makes observations with missing values different to the observation with recorded values. For example, in the NYCflights13 dataset, missing values in the dept_time variable indicate that the flight was cancelled. So you might want to compare the scheduled departure times for cancelled and non-cancelled flights.

library(nycflights13)

nycflights13::flights %>%
  mutate(
    cancelled = is.na(dep_time),
    sched_hour = sched_dep_time %/% 100,
    sched_min = sched_dep_time %% 100,
    sched_dep_time = sched_hour + sched_min / 60
  ) %>%
  ggplot(mapping = aes(sched_dep_time)) +
  geom_freqpoly(mapping = aes(color = cancelled), bindwith = 1/4)
## Warning in geom_freqpoly(mapping = aes(color = cancelled), bindwith = 1/4):
## Ignoring unknown parameters: `bindwith`
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Outliers

What if we want to know what our outliers are?

First we need to load the required libraries

library(outliers)

library(ggplot2)

library(readxl)

data <- read_excel("AirQualityUCI.xlsx")

Now we will reload the dataset if it was previously removed

Air_data <- read_xlsx("AirQualityUCI.xlsx")

Lets create a function using the grubb test to identify all outliers.

The grubbs test identifies outliers in a uni-variate dataset that is presumed to come from a normal distribution.

grubbs.flag <- function(x) {
  #lets create a variable called outliers and save nothing in it, we'll add to the variable
  #as we identify them.
  outliers <- NULL
  #We'll create a variable called test to identify which uni-variate we are testing
  test <- x
  #Now using the outliers package, use grubbs.test to find outliers in our variable
  grubbs.result <- grubbs.test(test)
  #Lets get the p-values of all tested variables
  pv <- grubbs.result$p.value
  #Now lets search through our p-values for ones that are outside of 0.5
  while (pv < 0.5) {
    #Anything with a p-value greater that p = 0.5, we add to our empty outliers vector
    outliers <- c(outliers, as.numeric(strsplit(grubbs.result$alternative, " ")[[1]][3]))
    #Now we want to remove those outliers from our test variable
    test <- x[!x %in% outliers]
    # and run the grubbs test again without the outliers
    grubbs.result <- grubbs.test(test)
    # and save the new p-values
    pv <- grubbs.result$p.value
  }
  return(data.frame(x = x, outliers = (x %in% outliers)))
}
identified_outliers <- grubbs.flag(Air_data$AH)

Now we can create a histogram showing where the outliers were

ggplot(grubbs.flag(Air_data$AH), aes(x = Air_data$AH, color = outliers, fill = outliers)) +
  geom_histogram(bindwith = diff(range(Air_data$AH))) +
  theme_bw()
## Warning in geom_histogram(bindwith = diff(range(Air_data$AH))): Ignoring
## unknown parameters: `bindwith`
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Covariation

CATEGORICAL VARIABLES

First load in required libraries

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = price)) +
  geom_freqpoly(mapping = aes(color = cut), bindwith = 500)
## Warning in geom_freqpoly(mapping = aes(color = cut), bindwith = 500): Ignoring
## unknown parameters: `bindwith`
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Its hard to see the difference in distribution because the counts differ so much

ggplot(diamonds) +
  geom_bar(mapping = aes(x = cut))

To make the comparison easier, we need to swap the display on the y-axis.

Instead of displaying count, we’ll display density, which is the count standardized so that the area under the curve is one.

ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = price, y = ..density..)) +
  geom_freqpoly(mapping = aes(color = cut), bindwith = 500)
## Warning in geom_freqpoly(mapping = aes(color = cut), bindwith = 500): Ignoring
## unknown parameters: `bindwith`
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

It appears that fair diamonds (the lowest cut quality) have the highest average price. Maybe this is because frequency polygons are a little hard to interpret.

Another alternative is the boxplot. A boxplot is a type of visual shorthand for a distribution of values.

ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = cut, y = price))+
  geom_boxplot()

We see much less information about the distribution, but the boxplots are much more compact, so we can more easily compare them. It supports the counter intuitive finding that better quality diamonds are cheaper on average.

Lets look at some car data

ggplot(data = mpg, mapping = aes(x = class, y = hwy)) +
  geom_boxplot()

ggplot(data = mpg) +
  geom_boxplot(mapping = aes(x = reorder(class, hwy, FUN = median), y = hwy))

If you have long variable names, you can switch the axis and flip it 90 degrees.

ggplot(data = mpg) +
  geom_boxplot(mapping = aes(x = reorder(class, hwy, FUN = median), y = hwy)) +
  coord_flip()

To visualize the correlation between two continuous variables, we can use a scatter plot

ggplot(data = diamonds) +
  geom_point(mapping = aes(x = carat, y = price))

Scatterplots become less useful as the size of your dataset grows, because we get overplot. We can fix this using the alpha aesthetic.

ggplot(data = diamonds) +
  geom_point(mapping = aes(x = carat, y = price), alpha = 1/100)

Exploratory Data Analysis

EDA Pt. 1-5

First lets load required libraries

library(RCurl)
## 
## Attaching package: 'RCurl'
## The following object is masked from 'package:tidyr':
## 
##     complete
library(dplyr)

Now lets get our data

site <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/master/colleges/colleges.csv"

College_data <- read.csv(site)

First lets use the str function, this shows the structure of the object

str(College_data)
## 'data.frame':    1948 obs. of  9 variables:
##  $ date      : chr  "2021-05-26" "2021-05-26" "2021-05-26" "2021-05-26" ...
##  $ state     : chr  "Alabama" "Alabama" "Alabama" "Alabama" ...
##  $ county    : chr  "Madison" "Montgomery" "Limestone" "Lee" ...
##  $ city      : chr  "Huntsville" "Montgomery" "Athens" "Auburn" ...
##  $ ipeds_id  : chr  "100654" "100724" "100812" "100858" ...
##  $ college   : chr  "Alabama A&M University" "Alabama State University" "Athens State University" "Auburn University" ...

##  $ cases_2021: int  NA NA 10 567 80 NA 49 53 10 35 ...
##  $ notes     : chr  "" "" "" "" ...

What if we want to arrange our dataset alphabetically by college?

We can also subset with select()

College_Cases <- select(College_data, college, cases)

We can also filter or subset with the filter function

Louisiana_Cases <- filter(College_data, state == "Louisiana")

Lets filter out a smaller amount of states

South_Cases <- filter(College_data, state == "Louisiana" | state == "Texas" | state == "Arkansas"| state == "Mississippi")

Lets look at some time series data.

First we will load the required libraries

library(lubridate)
## 
## Attaching package: 'lubridate'
## The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
## 
##     date, intersect, setdiff, union
library(dplyr)

Now lets load some data

state_site <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/master/us-states.csv"

state_data <- read.csv(state_site)

Lets create a group_by object using the state column

state_cases <- group_by(state_data, state)

class(state_cases)
## [1] "grouped_df" "tbl_df"     "tbl"        "data.frame"

How many measurements were made by state? This gives us an idea of when states started reporting

days_since_first_reported <- tally(state_cases)

Lets visualize some data

First lets star off with some definitions

Data - obvious - the stuff we want to visualize

Layer - Made of geometric elements and requisite statistical information. This includes geometric object, which represents the plot.

Scales- used to map values in the data space that is used for creation of values (color, size, shape, etc.)

Coordinate System - describes how the data coordinates are mapped together in relation to the plan on the graphic

Faceting - how to break up data into subsets to display multiple types or groups of data

Theme - controls the finer points of the display, such as font size and background color

options(repr.plot.width = 6, rep.plot.height = 6)

Lets start by creating a scatter plot of the College Data

ggplot(data = College_data, aes(x = cases, y = cases_2021)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_minimal()
## Warning: Removed 337 rows containing missing values (`geom_point()`).

Now lets do the iris data

ggplot(data = iris, aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_minimal()

Lets color coordinate our college data

ggplot(data = College_data, aes(x = cases, y = cases_2021, color = state)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_minimal()
## Warning: Removed 337 rows containing missing values (`geom_point()`).

Lets color coordinate the iris data

ggplot(data = iris, aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length, color = Species)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_minimal()

Lets run a simple histogram of our Louisiana Case Data

hist(Louisiana_Cases$cases, freq = NULL, density = NULL, breaks = 10, xlab = "Total Cases", ylab = "Frequency",
     main = "Total College Covid-19 Infections (Louisiana)")

Lets run a simple histogram on the iris data

hist(iris$Sepal.Width, freq = NULL, density = NULL, breaks = 10, xlab = "Sepal Width", ylab = "Frequency",
     main = "Iris Sepal Width")

histogram_college <- ggplot(data = Louisiana_Cases, aes(x = cases))

histogram_college + geom_histogram(bindwidth = 100, color = "black", aes(fill = county)) +
  xlab("cases") + ylab("Frequency") + ggtitle("Histogram of Covid-19 Cases in Louisiana")
## Warning in geom_histogram(bindwidth = 100, color = "black", aes(fill =
## county)): Ignoring unknown parameters: `bindwidth`
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Lets create a ggplot for the iris data

histogram_iris <- ggplot(data = iris, aes(x = Sepal.Width))

histogram_iris + geom_histogram(bindwidth = 0.2, color = "black", aes(fill = Species)) +
  xlab("Sepal Width") + ylab("Frequency") + ggtitle("Histogram of Iris Sepal Width by Species")
## Warning in geom_histogram(bindwidth = 0.2, color = "black", aes(fill =
## Species)): Ignoring unknown parameters: `bindwidth`
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Maybe a density plot makes more sense for our college data

ggplot(South_Cases) +
  geom_density(aes(x = cases, fill = state), alpha = 0.25)

Lets do it for the iris data

ggplot(iris) +
  geom_density(aes(x = Sepal.Width, fill = Species), alpha = 0.25)

Now lets try some violin plots

ggplot(data = iris, aes(x = Species, y = Sepal.Length, color = Species)) +
  geom_violin() +
  theme_classic() +
  theme(legend.position = "none")

Now lets try the South data

ggplot(data = South_Cases, aes(x = state, y = cases, color = state)) +
  geom_violin() +
  theme_gray() +
  theme(legend.position = "none")

Now lets take a look at residual plots. This is a graph that displays the residuals on the vertical axis, and the independent variable on the horizontal. In the event that the points in a residual plot are dispersed in a random manner around the horizontal axis, it is appropriate to use a linear regression. if they are not randomly dispersed, a non linear model is more appropriate.

Lets start with the iris data

ggplot(lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, data = iris)) +
  geom_point(aes(x = .fitted, y = .resid))

Now look at the southern state cases

ggplot(lm(cases ~ cases_2021, data = South_Cases)) +
  geom_point(aes(x = .fitted, y = .resid))

A linear model is not a good idea for the state cases

Now lets do some correlations

obesity <- read.csv("Obesity_insurance.csv")
library(tidyr)
library(dplyr)
library(plyr)
## ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## You have loaded plyr after dplyr - this is likely to cause problems.
## If you need functions from both plyr and dplyr, please load plyr first, then dplyr:
## library(plyr); library(dplyr)
## ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Attaching package: 'plyr'
## The following object is masked from 'package:ggpubr':

## The following objects are masked from 'package:dplyr':

##     arrange, count, desc, failwith, id, mutate, rename, summarise,
##     summarize

Lets look at the structure of the dataset

str(obesity)
## 'data.frame':    1338 obs. of  7 variables:
##  $ age     : int  19 18 28 33 32 31 46 37 37 60 ...
##  $ sex     : chr  "female" "male" "male" "male" ...

##  $ region  : chr  "southwest" "southeast" "southeast" "northwest" ...
##  $ charges : num  16885 1726 4449 21984 3867 ...

Lets look at the column classes

class(obesity)
## [1] "data.frame"

And now lets get a summary of the distribution of the variables

summary(obesity)
##       age            sex                 bmi           children

##                                        Max.   :63770

Now lets look at the distribution for insurance chargers

hist(obesity$charges)

We can also get an idea of the distribution using a boxplot

boxplot(obesity$charges)

boxplot(obesity$bmi)

Now lets look at the correlations. The cor() command is used to determine correlations between two vectors, all of the columns of a data frame, or two data frames. The cov() command, on the other hand, examines the covariance. The cor.test() command carries out a test as to the significance of the correlation.

cor(obesity$charges, obesity$bmi)
## [1] 0.198341

This test usea a Spearman Rho correlation, or you can use a Kendall’s Tau by specifying it

cor(obesity$charges, obesity$bmi, method = 'kendall')
## [1] 0.08252397

This correlation measures strength of a correlation between -1 and 1.

Now lets look at the Tietjen=Moore test. This is used for a uni-variate datasets. The algorithm depicts the detection of the outliers in a uni-variate dataset.

TeitjenMoore <- function(dataSeries, k)
{
  n = length(dataSeries)
  ## Compute the absolute residuals
  r = abs(dataSeries - mean(dataSeries))
  ## Sort data according to size of residual
  df = data.frame(dataSeries, r)
  dfs = df[order(df$r),]
  ## Create a subset of the data without the largest values
  klarge = c((n - k + 1):n)
  subdataSeries = dfs$dataSeries[-klarge]
  ## Compute the sums of squares
  ksub = (subdataSeries - mean(subdataSeries)) **2
  all = (df$dataSeries - mean(df$dataSeries)) **2
  ## Compute the test statistic
  sum(ksub)/sum(all)
  
}  

This function helps to compute the absolute residuals and sorts data according to the size of the residuals.

Later, we will focus on the computation of sum of squares.

FindOutliersTeitjenMooreTest <- function(dataSeries, k, alpha = 0.5){
  ek <- TeitjenMoore(dataSeries, k)
  # compute critical values based on simulation
  test = c(1:10000)
  for (i in 1:10000){
    dataSeriesdataSeries = rnorm(length(dataSeries))
    test[i] = TeitjenMoore(dataSeriesdataSeries, k)}
  Talpha = quantile(test, alpha)
  list(T = ek, Talpha = Talpha)
}

This function helps us to compute the critical values based on simulation data. Now lets demonstrate these functions with sample data and the obesity dataset for evaluating this algoritm.

The critical region for the Teitjen-Moore test is determined by simulation. The simulation is performed by generating a standard normal random sample size n and computing the Teitjen-Moore test statistic. Typically, 10,000 random samples are used. The values of the Teitjen-Moore statistic obtained from the data is compared to this reference distribution. The values of the test statistic are between zero and one. If there are no outliers in the data, the test statistic is close to 1. If there are outliers present, then the test statistic will be closer to zero. Thus, the test is always a lower, one-tailed test Regardless of which test statistic is issued, Lk or Ek.

First we will look at charges

boxplot(obesity$charges)

FindOutliersTeitjenMooreTest(obesity$charges, 100)
## $T
## [1] 0.4556033
## 
## $Talpha
##       50% 
## 0.6350056

Lets check out bmi

boxplot(obesity$bmi)

FindOutliersTeitjenMooreTest(obesity$bmi, 7)
## $T
## [1] 0.9475628
## 
## $Talpha

We will use the probability plot function and their output dnorm: density function of the normal distribution. Using the density, it is possible to determine the probability of events. Or for example, you may wonder, “What is the likelihood that a person has a BMI of exactly _____?” In this case, you would need to retrieve the density of the BMI distribution at values 140. The BMI distribution can be modeled with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. The corresponding density is:

bmi.mean <- mean(obesity$bmi)

bmi.sd <- sd(obesity$bmi)

Lets create a distribution of our normal distribution

bmi.dist <- dnorm(obesity$bmi, mean = bmi.mean, sd = bmi.sd)

bmi.df <- data.frame("bmi" = obesity$bmi, "Density" = bmi.dist)

ggplot(bmi.df, aes(x = bmi, y = Density)) +
  geom_point()

This gives us the probability of every single point occuring

Now lets use the pnorm function for more info

bmi.dist <- pnorm(obesity$bmi, mean = bmi.mean, sd = bmi.sd)

bmi.df <- data.frame("bmi" = obesity$bmi, "Density" = bmi.dist)

ggplot(bmi.df, aes(x = bmi, y = Density)) +
  geom_point()

What if we want to find the probability of the bmi being greater than 40 in our distribution?

pp_greater <- function(x) {
  paste(round(100 * pnorm(x, mean = 30.66339, sd = 6.09818, lower.tail = FALSE), 2), "%")
}

pp_greater(40)
## [1] "6.29 %"
pnormGC(40, region = "above", mean = 30.66339, sd = 6.09818, graph = TRUE)

## [1] 0.06287869

What about the probability that a bmi is less than 40 in our population?

pp_less <- function(x){
  paste(round(100 * (1 - pnorm(x, mean = 30.66339, sd = 6.09818, lower.tail = FALSE, )), 2), "%")
  }

pp_less(40)
## [1] "93.71 %"
pnormGC(40, region = "below", mean = 30.66339, sd = 6.09818, graph = TRUE)

## [1] 0.9371213

What if we want to find the area in between?

pnormGC(c(20, 40), region = "between", mean = 30.66339, sd = 6.09818, graph = TRUE)

## [1] 0.8969428

What if we want to know the quantiles? Lets use the pnorm function. We need to assume a normal distribution for this.

What bmi represents the lowest 1% of the population?

qnorm(0.01, mean = 30.66339, sd = 6.09818, lower.tail = TRUE)
## [1] 16.4769

What if we want a random sampling of values within our distribution?

subset <- rnorm(50, mean = 30.66339, sd = 6.09818)

hist(subset)

subset2 <- rnorm(50000, mean = 30.66339, sd = 6.09818)

hist(subset2)

Shapiro-Wilk Test

So now we know how to generate a normal distribution, how do we tell if our samples came from a normal distribution?

shapiro.test(obesity$charges[1:5])
## 
##  Shapiro-Wilk normality test
## 
## data:  obesity$charges[1:5]
## W = 0.84164, p-value = 0.1695

You can see here, with a small sample size, we would reject the null hypothesis that the samples came from a normal distribution. We can increase the power of the test by increasing the sample size.

shapiro.test(obesity$charges[1:1000])
## 
##  Shapiro-Wilk normality test
## 
## data:  obesity$charges[1:1000]
## W = 0.8119, p-value < 2.2e-16

Now lets check out age

shapiro.test(obesity$age[1:1000])
## 
##  Shapiro-Wilk normality test
## 
## data:  obesity$age[1:1000]
## W = 0.94406, p-value < 2.2e-16

and lastly bmi

shapiro.test(obesity$bmi[1:1000])
## 
##  Shapiro-Wilk normality test
## 
## data:  obesity$bmi[1:1000]
## W = 0.99471, p-value = 0.001426

Text Mining

Text Mining

First we’ll look at the unnest_token function

Lets start by looking at an Emily Dickenson passage

install.packages("janeaustenr")
## Installing package into '/home/student/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3'
## (as 'lib' is unspecified)
text <- c("Because I could not stop from Death -",
          "He kindly stopped for me -",
          "The Carriage held but just ourselves -",
          "and Immortality")

text
## [1] "Because I could not stop from Death -" 
## [2] "He kindly stopped for me -"            
## [3] "The Carriage held but just ourselves -"
## [4] "and Immortality"

This is a typical character vector that we moght want to analyze. In order to turn it into a tidytext dataset, we first need to put it into a dataframe.

library(dplyr)

text_df <- tibble(line = 1:4, text = text)

text_df
## # A tibble: 4 × 2
##    line text                                  
##   <int> <chr>                                 
## 1     1 Because I could not stop from Death - 
## 2     2 He kindly stopped for me -            
## 3     3 The Carriage held but just ourselves -
## 4     4 and Immortality

Reminder: A tibble is a modern class of data frame within R. It’s available in the dplyr and tibble packages, that has a convenient print method, will not convert strongs to factors, and does not use row names. Tibbles are great for use with tidy tools.

next we will use the ‘unnest_tokens’ function.

First we have the output column name that will be created as the text is unnested into it.

library(tidytext)

text_df %>%
  unnest_tokens(word, text)
## # A tibble: 20 × 2
##     line word       
##    <int> <chr>      
##  1     1 because    
##  2     1 i          
##  3     1 could      
##  4     1 not        
##  5     1 stop       
##  6     1 from       
##  7     1 death      
##  8     2 he         
##  9     2 kindly     
## 10     2 stopped    
## 11     2 for        
## 12     2 me         
## 13     3 the        
## 14     3 carriage   
## 15     3 held       
## 16     3 but        
## 17     3 just       
## 18     3 ourselves  
## 19     4 and        
## 20     4 immortality

Lets use janeaustenr package to analyze some Jane Austen texts. There are 6 books in this package.

library(janeaustenr)
library(dplyr)
library(stringr)

original_books <- austen_books() %>%
  group_by(book) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(linenumber = row_number(),
         chapter = cumsum(str_detect(text, regex("^chater [\\divxlc]",
                                                 ignore_case = TRUE)))) %>%
  ungroup()

original_books

##  6 ""                      Sense & Sensibility          6       0
##  7 ""                      Sense & Sensibility          7       0
##  8 ""                      Sense & Sensibility          8       0
##  9 ""                      Sense & Sensibility          9       0
## 10 "CHAPTER 1"             Sense & Sensibility         10       0
## # ℹ 73,412 more rows

To work with this as a tidy dataset, we need to restructure it in the one-token-per-row format, which as we saw earlier is done with the unnest_tokens() function

library(tidytext)
tidy_books <- original_books %>%
  unnest_tokens(word, text)

tidy_books
## # A tibble: 725,055 × 4
##    book                linenumber chapter word

## # ℹ 725,045 more rows

This function uses the tokenizers package to separate each line of text in the original data frame into tokens.

The default tokenizing is for words, but other options including characters, n-grams, sentences, lines, or paragraphs can be used.

Now that the data is in a one-word-per-row format, we can manipulate it with tools like dplyr.

Often in text analysis, we will want to remove stop words. Stop words are words that are NOT USEFUL for an analysis. This includes words like the, of, to, and, and so forth.

We can remove stop words (kept in the tidytext dataset ‘stop_words’) with an anti_join()

data(stop_words)

tidy_books <- tidy_books %>%
  anti_join(stop_words)
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`

The stop words dataset in the tidytext package contains stop words from three lexicons. We can use them all together, as we have three, or filter() to only use one set of stop words if thats more appropriate for your analysis.

tidy_books %>%
  count(word, sort = TRUE)
## # A tibble: 13,914 × 2
##    word       n
##    <chr>  <int>
##  1 miss    1855
##  2 time    1337
##  3 fanny    862
##  4 dear     822
##  5 lady     817
##  6 sir      806
##  7 day      797
##  8 emma     787
##  9 sister   727
## 10 house    699
## # ℹ 13,904 more rows

Because we’ve been using tidy tools, our word counts are stored in a tidy data frame. This allows us to pipe this directly into ggplot2. For example, we can create a visualization of the most common words.

library(ggplot2)

tidy_books %>%
  count(word, sort = TRUE) %>%
  filter(n > 600) %>%
  mutate(word = reorder(word, n)) %>%
  ggplot(aes(n, word)) +
  geom_col() +
  labs(y = NULL, x = "word count")

The gutenbergr package

This package provides acces to the public domain works from the gutenberg project (www.gutenberg.org). This package includes tools for both downloading books and a complete dataset of project gutenberg metadata that can be used to find works of interest. We will mostly use the function gutenberg_download().

Word frequencies

Lets look at some biology texts, starting with Darwin

The Voyage of the Beagle - 944 On the origin of species by the means of natural selection - 1228 The expression of emotion in man and animals - 1227 The descent of man, and selection in relation to sex - 2300

We can access these works using the gutenberg_download() and the Project Gutenberg IDnumbers

library(gutenbergr)

darwin <- gutenberg_download(c(944, 1227, 1228, 2300), mirror = "https://gutenberg.nabasny.com/")
## Warning: ! Could not download a book at
##   https://gutenberg.nabasny.com//1/2/2/1228/1228.zip.
## ℹ The book may have been archived.
## ℹ Alternatively, You may need to select a different mirror.
## → See https://www.gutenberg.org/MIRRORS.ALL for options.

Lets break these into tokens

tidy_darwin <- darwin %>%
  unnest_tokens(word, text) %>%
  anti_join(stop_words)
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`

Lets check out what the most common darwin words are.

tidy_darwin %>%
  count(word, sort = TRUE)
## # A tibble: 22,315 × 2
##    word        n

##  8 females  1003
##  9 sexual    749
## 10 vol       712
## # ℹ 22,305 more rows

Now lets get some work from Thomas Hunt Morgan, who is credited with discovering chromosomes.

Regeneration - 57198 The genetic and operative evidence relating to secondary sexual characteristics - 57460 Evolution and Adaptation - 63540

morgan <- gutenberg_download(c(57198, 57460, 63540), mirror = "https://gutenberg.nabasny.com/") 

Lets tokenize THM

tidy_morgan <- morgan %>%
  unnest_tokens(word, text) %>%
  anti_join(stop_words)
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`

What are THM’s most common words?

tidy_morgan %>%
  count(word, sort = TRUE)
## # A tibble: 13,855 × 2

Lastly lets look at Thomas Henry Huxley

Evidence as to mans place in nature - 2931 On the reception of the origin of species - 2089 Evolution and Ethics, and Other essays - 2940 Sicence and Culture, and other essays - 52344

huxley <- gutenberg_download(c(2931, 2089, 2940, 52344), mirror = "https://gutenberg.nabasny.com/")
## Warning: ! Could not download a book at

## → See https://www.gutenberg.org/MIRRORS.ALL for options.

Lets tokenize THH

tidy_huxley <- huxley %>%
  unnest_tokens(word, text) %>%
  anti_join(stop_words)
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`

What are THH’s most common words?

tidy_morgan %>%
  count(word, sort = TRUE)
## # A tibble: 13,855 × 2
##    word             n
##    <chr>        <int>

##  9 found          552
## 10 development    546
## # ℹ 13,845 more rows

Now lets calculate the frequency for each word of the works of Darwin, Morgan, and Huxley by binding the frames together.

library(tidyr)

frequency <- bind_rows(mutate(tidy_morgan, author = "Thomas Hunt Morgan"),
                       mutate(tidy_darwin, author = "Charles Darwin"),
                       mutate(tidy_huxley, author = "Thomas Henry Huxley")) %>%
  mutate(word = str_extract(word, "[a-z]+")) %>%
  count(author, word) %>%
  group_by(author) %>%
  mutate(proportion = n / sum(n)) %>%
  select(-n) %>%
  pivot_wider(names_from = author, values_from = proportion) %>%
  pivot_longer('Thomas Hunt Morgan': 'Charles Darwin', names_to = "author", values_to = "proportion")

Now we need to change the table so that each author has its own row

frequency2 <- pivot_wider(frequency, names_from = author, values_from = proportion)

frequency2
## # A tibble: 29,055 × 4

Sentiment Analysis

The Sentiments datasets

There are a variety of methods and dictionaries that exis for evaluating the opinion or emotion of the text.

AFFIN bing nrc

bing categorizes words in a binary fashion into positive or negative nrc categorizes into positive, negative anger, anticipation, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, surprise, and trust AFFIN assigns a score between -5 and 5, with negative indicating negative sentiment, and 5 positive

The function get_sentiment() allows us to get the specific sentiments lexicon with the measure for each one

library(tidytext)

install.packages("textdata")
## Installing package into '/home/student/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3'
## (as 'lib' is unspecified)
library(textdata)

afinn <- get_sentiments("afinn")

Lets look at bing

bing <- get_sentiments("bing")

and lastly nrc

library(tidytext)

install.packages("tidytext")
## Installing package into '/home/student/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3'

#nrc <- get_sentiments("nrc")

#nrc

These libraries were created either using crowdsourcing or cloud computing/ai like Amazon Mechanical Turk, or by labor of one of the authors, and then validated with crowd sourcing

Lets look at the words with a joy score from nrc

library(gutenbergr)

library(dplyr)

library(stringr)

Lets add the book name instead of GID

colnames(tidy_books)[1] <- "book"

tidy_books$book[tidy_books$book == 944] <- "The Voyage of the Beagle"
tidy_books$book[tidy_books$book == 1227] <- "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals"
tidy_books$book[tidy_books$book == 1228] <- "On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection"
tidy_books$book[tidy_books$book == 2300] <- "The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex"


tidy_books

## # ℹ 629,563 more rows

Now that we have a tidy format with one word per row, we are ready for sentiment analysis. First lets use nrc.

nrc_joy <- tidytext::get_sentiments("nrc") %>%
  filter(sentiment == "joy") 

tidy_books %>%
  filter(book == "The Voyage of the Beagle") %>%
  inner_join(nrc_joy) %>%
  count(word, sort = TRUE)
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`
## # A tibble: 277 × 2
##    word           n
##    <chr>      <int>
##  1 found        301
##  2 good         161
##  3 remarkable   114
##  4 green         95
##  5 kind          92
##  6 tree          86
##  7 present       85
##  8 food          78
##  9 beautiful     61
## 10 elevation     60
## # ℹ 267 more rows

We can also examine how sentiment changes throughout a work

library(tidyr)

Charles_Darwin_sentiment <- tidy_books %>%
  inner_join(get_sentiments("bing")) %>%
  count(book, index = linenumber %/% 80, sentiment) %>%
  pivot_wider(names_from = sentiment, values_from = n, values_fill = 0) %>%
  mutate(sentiment = positive - negative)
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`

Now lets plot it

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(Charles_Darwin_sentiment, aes(index, sentiment, fill = book)) +
  geom_col(show.legend = FALSE) +
  facet_wrap(~book, ncol = 2, scales = "free_x")

Lets compare three sentiment dictions

There are several options for sentiment lexicons, you might want some more info on which is appropriate for your purpose. Here we will use all three of our dictionaries and examine how the sentiment changes across the arc of TVOTB.

library(tidyr)

voyage <- tidy_books %>%
  filter(book == "The Voyage of the Beagle")

voyage
## # A tibble: 208,118 × 4
##    book                     linenumber chapter word   
##    <chr>                         <int>   <int> <chr>  
##  1 The Voyage of the Beagle          1       0 the    
##  2 The Voyage of the Beagle          1       0 voyage 
##  3 The Voyage of the Beagle          1       0 of     
##  4 The Voyage of the Beagle          1       0 the

##  6 The Voyage of the Beagle          1       0 by     
##  7 The Voyage of the Beagle          2       0 charles
##  8 The Voyage of the Beagle          2       0 darwin 
##  9 The Voyage of the Beagle          8       0 about  
## 10 The Voyage of the Beagle          8       0 the    
## # ℹ 208,108 more rows

Lets again use integer division (%/%) to define larger sections of the text that span multiple lines, and we can use the same pattern with ‘count()’, ‘pivot_wider()’, and ‘mutate()’, to find the net sentiment in each of these sections of text.

affin <- voyage %>%
  inner_join(get_sentiments("afinn")) %>%
  group_by(index = linenumber %/% 80) %>%
  summarise(sentiment = sum(value)) %>%
  mutate(method = "AFINN")
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`
bing_and_nrc <- bind_rows(
  voyage %>%
    inner_join(get_sentiments("bing")) %>%
    mutate(method = "Bing et al."),
  voyage %>%
    inner_join(get_sentiments("nrc") %>%
                 filter(sentiment %in% c("positive", "negative"))
               ) %>%
    mutate(method = "NRC")) %>%
  count(method, index = linenumber %/% 80, sentiment) %>%
  pivot_wider(names_from = sentiment,
              values_from = n,
              values_fill = 0) %>%
  mutate(sentiment = positive - negative)
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`
## Warning in inner_join(., get_sentiments("nrc") %>% filter(sentiment %in% : Detected an unexpected many-to-many relationship between `x` and `y`.

## ℹ Row 4245 of `y` matches multiple rows in `x`.
## ℹ If a many-to-many relationship is expected, set `relationship =
##   "many-to-many"` to silence this warning.

We can now estimate the net sentiment (positive - negative) in each chunk of the novel text for each lexicon (dictionary).

Lets bind them all together and visualize it using ggplot.

bind_rows(affin, bing_and_nrc) %>%
  ggplot(aes(index, sentiment, fill = method)) +
  geom_col(show.legend = FALSE) +
  facet_wrap(~method, ncol = 1, scales = "free_y")
## Warning: Removed 1 rows containing missing values (`position_stack()`).

Lets look at the counts based on each dictionary

get_sentiments("nrc") %>%
  filter(sentiment %in% c("positive", "negative")) %>%
  count(sentiment)
## # A tibble: 2 × 2
##   sentiment     n
##   <chr>     <int>
## 1 negative   3316
## 2 positive   2308
get_sentiments("bing") %>%
  count(sentiment)
## # A tibble: 2 × 2
##   sentiment     n
##   <chr>     <int>
## 1 negative   4781
## 2 positive   2005
bing_word_counts <- tidy_books %>%
  inner_join(get_sentiments("bing")) %>%
  count(word, sentiment, sort = TRUE) %>%
  ungroup()
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`
bing_word_counts
## # A tibble: 2,421 × 3
##    word       sentiment     n
##    <chr>      <chr>     <int>

##  9 remarkable positive    247
## 10 savages    negative    217
## # ℹ 2,411 more rows

This can be shown visually, and we can pipe straight in ggplot2

bing_word_counts %>%
  group_by(sentiment) %>%
  slice_max(n, n = 10) %>%
  ungroup() %>%
  mutate(word = reorder(word, n)) %>%
  ggplot(aes(n, word, fill = sentiment)) +
  geom_col(show.legend = FALSE) +
  facet_wrap(~sentiment, scale = "free_y") +
  labs(x = "Contribution to Sentiment", y = NULL)

Lets spot an anomaly in the dataset

custom_stop_words <- bind_rows(tibble(word = c("wild", "dark", "great", "like"), lexicon = c("custom")), stop_words)

custom_stop_words
## # A tibble: 1,153 × 2

Word Clouds!

We can see that tidy text mining and sentiment analysis works well with ggplot2, but having pur data in tidy format leads to other nice graphing techniques.

Lets use the word cloud package!!

library(wordcloud)
## 
## Attaching package: 'wordcloud'
## The following object is masked from 'package:gplots':
## 
##     textplot
tidy_books %>%
  anti_join(stop_words) %>%
  count(word) %>%
  with(wordcloud(word, n, max.words = 100))
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`
## Warning in wordcloud(word, n, max.words = 100): male could not be fit on page.
## It will not be plotted.
## Warning in wordcloud(word, n, max.words = 100): males could not be fit on page.
## It will not be plotted.
## Warning in wordcloud(word, n, max.words = 100): animals could not be fit on
## page. It will not be plotted.

Lets also look at comparison.cloud(), which may require turning the dataset into a matrix.

We can change to matrix using the acast() function.

library(reshape2)
## 
## Attaching package: 'reshape2'
## The following object is masked from 'package:tigerstats':
## 
##     tips
## The following object is masked from 'package:tidyr':
## 
##     smiths
tidy_books %>%
  inner_join(get_sentiments("bing")) %>%
  count(word, sentiment, sort = TRUE) %>%
  acast(word ~ sentiment, value.var = "n", fill = 0) %>%
  comparison.cloud(colors = c("gray20", "gray80"), max.words = 100)
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`

Looking at the units beyond words

Lots of useful work can be done by tokenizing at the word level, but sometimes its nice to look at different units of text. For example, we can look beyond just unigrams.

Ex I am not having a good day

library(dplyr)

bingnegative <- get_sentiments("bing") %>%
  dplyr::filter(sentiment == "negative")

wordcounts <- tidy_books %>%
  dplyr::group_by(book, chapter) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(words = n())

tidy_books %>%
  semi_join(bingnegative) %>%
  dplyr::group_by(book, chapter) %>%
  dplyr::summarize(negativewords = n()) %>%
  left_join(wordcounts, by = c("book", "chapter")) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(ratio = negativewords/words) %>%
  dplyr::filter(chapter !=0) %>%
  slice_max(ratio, n = 1) %>%
  ungroup()
## Joining with `by = join_by(word)`
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'book'. You can override using the
## `.groups` argument.

Word Combos

So far we have only looked at single words, but many interesting (more accurate) analysis are based on the relationship between words.

Lets look at some methods of tidytext for calculating and visualizing word relationships.

library(dplyr)

darwin_bigrams <- darwin_books %>%
  unnest_tokens(bigram, text, token = "ngrams", n = 2)

darwin_bigrams

This data is still in tidytext format, and is structured as one-token-per-row. Each token is a bigram.

Most of the common bigrams are stop-words. This can be a good time to use tidyr’s separate command which splits a column into multiple based on a delimiter. This will let us make a column for word one and word two.

library(tidyr)

bigrams_separated <- darwin_bigrams %>%
  separate(bigram, c("word1", "word2"), sep = " ")

bigrams_filtered <- bigrams_separated %>%
  filter(!word1 %in% stop_words$word) %>%
  filter(!word2 %in% stop_words$word)

New bigram counts

bigram_counts <- bigrams_filtered %>%
  unite(bigram, word1, word2, sep = " ")

Using bigrams to provide context in sentiment analysis

Word Frequencies

A central question in text mining is how to quantify what a document is about. We can do this by looking at words that make up the document, and measuring term frequency.

There are a lot of words that may not be that important, these are the stop words.

One way to remedy this is to look at inverse document frequency words, which decrease the weight for commonly used words and increases the weight for words that are not used very much.

You can see that the usual suspects are the most common words, but don’t tell us anything about what the books topic is.

Zipf’s Law

The frequency that a word appears is inversely proportional to its rank when predicting a topic

Lets apply Zipf’s law to Darwin’s work

freq_by_rank <- book_words %>%
  dplyr::group_by(book) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(rank = row_number(),
         `term frequency` = n/total) %>%
  ungroup()

Let us use TF-IDF to find words for each document by decreasing the weight for commonly used words and increasing the weight for words that are not used very much in a collection of documents.

book_tf_idf <- book_words %>%
  bind_tf_idf(word, book, n)
