Go to the shared posit.cloud workspace for this class and open the assign04 project. Open the assign04.qmd file and complete the exercises.

We will be using pay-per-click (PPC) data from a 31 day campaign from a company that sells USB keys and USB hubs. Each row of the 555 observations represents a click on an internet ad based on a keyword search and there are 3 columns.

day - represents the day of the campaign. Valid days are 1-31.
price - represents the price of the campaign. Price can’t be a number below 0.10
keyword - represents the keyword purchased. Everything must be spelled correctly, there aren’t many keywords but they are some combination of “usb” and/or “key” or “hub”

In this assignment you will be examining each column for data validity. Each exercise presents one or more questions for you to answer.

We’ll start by loading the tidyverse family of packages along with the janitor and skimr packages, and our data.

library(tidyverse)
library(janitor)
library(skimr)
ppc_data <- read_csv("https://jsuleiman.com/datasets/ppc_data.csv")
glimpse(ppc_data)

Rows: 555
Columns: 3
$ day     <dbl> 9, 30, 19, 4, 30, 17, 5, 8, 17, 21, 4, 13, 29, 25, 25, 7, 4, 5…
$ keyword <chr> "usb", "usb hub", "usb hub", "usb key", "key", "usb hub", "hub…
$ price   <dbl> 5.9, 8.0, 2.8, 7.7, 1.7, 5.5, 5.2, 3.8, 6.0, 2.0, 9.7, 7.0, 8.…

Exercises

There are six exercises in this assignment. The Grading Rubric is available at the end of this document.

Exercise 1

Create a graph of number of clicks (i.e., observations) for each day (1-31). Use geom_bar() for your geometry. In the narrative below your code note which days had zero clicks.

ppc_data |>
  ggplot(aes(x = day)) +
  geom_bar() +
theme_minimal()

The days that had zero clicks are day 1 and 27.

Exercise 2

Insert a code cell to show how many NA (i.e., missing) values there are in price. In the narrative below that code cell write out how many NA values there are for price and what percent of the observations that represents.

ppc_data |>
  skim(price)

Data summary

Variable type: numeric

price	6	0.99	4.74	2.92	0	2.2	4.7	7.3	10	▇▇▇▆▆

There are 0 NA values for price which represents 0%.

Exercise 3

Valid values for price are 0.1 or greater. Insert a code cell that displays the number of values of price that are less than 0.1. In the narrative below that code cell write how many values are below 0.1.

ppc_data |>
  filter(price < 0.1) |>
  count(price)

# A tibble: 1 × 2
  price     n
  <dbl> <int>
1     0    10

There are 10 values below 0.1.

Exercise 4

Insert a code cell that drops all of the rows that contain invalid or NA values for price.

ppc_data <- ppc_data |>
  filter(!is.na(keyword) & price >= 0.1)
glimpse(ppc_data)

Rows: 539
Columns: 3
$ day     <dbl> 9, 30, 19, 4, 30, 17, 5, 8, 17, 21, 4, 13, 29, 25, 25, 7, 4, 4…
$ keyword <chr> "usb", "usb hub", "usb hub", "usb key", "key", "usb hub", "hub…
$ price   <dbl> 5.9, 8.0, 2.8, 7.7, 1.7, 5.5, 5.2, 3.8, 6.0, 2.0, 9.7, 7.0, 8.…

Exercise 5

Insert a code cell that shows a tabyl of the counts of each keyword. In the narrative below the code cell, list the misspellings and counts if there are any.

ppc_data |>
  tabyl(keyword)

 keyword   n    percent
     hub  89 0.16512059
     key  81 0.15027829
     ubs  10 0.01855288
 ubs key  10 0.01855288
     usb  73 0.13543599
 usb hub 119 0.22077922
 usb key 157 0.29128015

The misspellings: “usb” = 10 counts and “ubs key” = 10 counts.

Exercise 6

Insert a code cell that corrects all the misspellings for keyword, then rerun tabyl to verify.

ppc_data <- ppc_data |>
  mutate(keyword = recode(keyword, "usb" = "USB", "ubs Key" = "USB Key"))
ppc_data |>
  tabyl(keyword)

 keyword   n    percent
     USB  73 0.13543599
     hub  89 0.16512059
     key  81 0.15027829
     ubs  10 0.01855288
 ubs key  10 0.01855288
 usb hub 119 0.22077922
 usb key 157 0.29128015
