The goal of this assignment is to give you practice in preparing different datasets for downstream analysis work. Your task is to:
Create a .CSV file (or optionally, a MySQL database!) that includes all of the information included in the dataset. You’re encouraged to use a “wide” structure similar to how the information appears in the discussion item, so that you can practice tidying and transformations as described below.
Read the information from your .CSV file into R, and use tidyr and dplyr as needed to tidy and transform your data. [Most of your grade will be based on this step!]
Perform the analysis requested in the discussion item.
Your code should be in an R Markdown file, posted to rpubs.com, and should include narrative descriptions of your data cleanup work, analysis, and conclusions.
The URL to the .Rmd file in your GitHub repository, and
The URL for your rpubs.com web page.

I will be using my dataset firstly, The dataset shows sales figures for different products across multiple months for several regions. The data is messy because it’s in wide format, with many columns representing individual months, and each row represents a different product across the regions. Analysis that might be performed on this data include:
Year-over-Year Trends: Analyze the sales growth for each product across different months and regions. Identify products with consistent growth or seasonal variations.
Product Sales Distribution: Assess which product is performing best in terms of overall sales across all regions. This analysis could be extended to compare performance across months.
Regional Performance Comparison: Compare sales performance between the North, South, and East regions. This could reveal whether there are regional preferences for certain products, or if the same products perform differently in various regions.
Sales Forecasting: Using the available monthly sales data, you could build a forecasting model to predict sales for the upcoming months, based on historical trends.
# Create the data as a data frame

The sales data reveals key trends:
Sales Growth: Sales consistently increase from January to June across all products and regions.
Regional Differences: The East region shows the highest sales for both products, while the North region has the lowest.
Product Comparison: Product A outperforms Product B in all regions, suggesting higher demand or popularity.
Monthly Trends: Sales grow steadily month-over-month, indicating a positive seasonal trend.
Business Implications:
East region should be prioritized for marketing and sales efforts.
Investigate why Product A is more successful than Product B.
-Prepare for higher sales in summer months based on the growth trend.
For Dataset 2, I will be using Daniel Hanasab posted dataset. This dataset contains monthly average temperatures and humidity levels for three cities: New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
It is untidy because:
Months are represented as separate columns instead of being in a single “Month” column.
Temperature and humidity are stored in separate columns for each month, rather than having a single “Measure” column with corresponding values.
Each row represents a city, but instead of a single observation per row, there are multiple values in different columns.
# Create the data frame with the temperature and humidity data
dataset2 <- tibble(
City = c("New York", "Los Angeles", "Chicago"),
Temp_Jan = c(32, 60, 30),
Temp_Feb = c(35, 60, 30),
Temp_Mar = c(42, 65, 40),
Humid_Jan = c(75, 65, 80),
Humid_Feb = c(72, 63, 78),
Humid_Mar = c(68, 60, 75)
)
# Write the data frame to a CSV file
write.csv(dataset2, "city_weather_dataset2.csv", row.names = FALSE)
# Read the CSV file into a data frame
city_weather_dataset2 <- read.csv("city_weather_dataset2.csv")
# View the data
print(city_weather_dataset2)
## City Temp_Jan Temp_Feb Temp_Mar Humid_Jan Humid_Feb Humid_Mar
## 1 New York 32 35 42 75 72 68
## 2 Los Angeles 60 60 65 65 63 60
## 3 Chicago 30 30 40 80 78 75
The original Data is in a “wide” format, which contains multiple columns for each month’s temperature and humidity. Pivot this data to a “long” format to make it easier to analyze.
# Tidy the data: Pivot the temperature and humidity columns to long format
dataset2_tidy <- city_weather_dataset2 %>%
pivot_longer(
cols = c(Temp_Jan, Temp_Feb, Temp_Mar, Humid_Jan, Humid_Feb, Humid_Mar), # Explicitly select the columns
names_to = c("Variable", "Month"), # New column names for variable type and month
names_sep = "_", # Use underscore to separate variable type and month
values_to = "Value" # Store values in the "Value" column
) %>%
# Convert Month to a factor with proper order
mutate(Month = factor(Month, levels = c("Jan", "Feb", "Mar")),
Variable = factor(Variable, levels = c("Temp", "Humid")))
# View the tidy data

Visualizing the Temperature Data

By transforming the data into a tidy format, summarizing it to calculate average values, and visualizing it, we can clearly see the trends in temperature and humidity across different cities and months. The plot helps to compare the fluctuations in temperature and humidity for each city.
For Dataset 3, I will be using Musrat Jahan dataset posted on week 4 discussion. This data is about New York City Leading causes of Death. It is untidy because some columns can be deleted or separated into 2 columns. Leading cause of death values can be separated into two columns: the cause and the codes. Also, race and ethnicity should be separated into 2 columns. We don’t need 2 columns for death rates; just one is fine, either age adjusted or normal.
The data is untidy because:
Mixed Data Types: Numeric columns contain both numbers and “.” as missing values.
Multiple Variables in One Column: The “Leading Cause” column combines causes and ICD codes.
Inconsistent Formatting: Missing values are represented as “.” instead of NA.
Long Format: Each observation is a row, making it harder to compare causes of death.

Based on the bar chart and analysis, we can conclude the following:
Leading Causes of Death: The bar chart clearly shows the top causes of death in New York City, with a few causes contributing significantly more deaths compared to others.
Health Priorities: Public health initiatives should focus on addressing these leading causes, as they represent the most significant health challenges for the city.
Data Quality and Improvements: Some missing values and inconsistencies were observed during data tidying, suggesting that better data collection and reporting practices could enhance future analysis.
