Program 1

Develop a R program to quickly explore a given dataset,including categorical analysis using the ‘group_by()’command,and visualize the findings using ’ggplot2’

##What we will do

In this program,we will:

1.Load the required and dataset. 2.explore the structure of the dataset. 3.Convert a numeric variable into a categorical variable. 4.perform categorical analysis using ‘group_by()’and ’summarise()’. 5.Visualize the results using ‘ggplot2’.

##Step:1 Load req libraries and dataset -‘todyverse’ is a collection of packages for data science. -‘dplyr’ is used for grouping and summarizing data. —

library(tidyverse)

library(dplyr)

#load built in dataset
data <- mtcars

##Step 2:Explore the dataset

Before performing any analysis,we should understand the dataset.

we will check:

-Number of rows and columns

-Column names

-data types

-Summary statistics

-first few rows

#dimensions(rows and columns)
dim(data)

[1] 32 11

#column names
names(data)

 [1] "mpg"  "cyl"  "disp" "hp"   "drat" "wt"   "qsec" "vs"   "am"   "gear"
[11] "carb"

#struc of dataset

###convert numerical variable to categorical the variable cyl represents the number of cylinders in a car. although it is numeric (4,6,8),it reps categories.
for categorical analysis,we convert it into a factor.

#Convert 'cyl' to factor
data$cyl <- as.factor(data$cyl)

#confirm conversion
str(data$cyl)

 Factor w/ 3 levels "4","6","8": 2 2 1 2 3 2 3 1 1 2 ...

levels(data$cyl)

[1] "4" "6" "8"

###step 4:perform categorical analysis

we calculate the avg miles per gallon(mpg)for each cylinder category.

###how these functions work together -%> passes output from one function to the next. -group_by(cyl) splits the dataset into groups. -summarise() calculates statistics per group. -mean(mpg) computes avg mileage. -.group="drop" removes grouping after afterward.

summary_data <- data %>%
  group_by(cyl) %>%
  summarise(
    avg_mpg=mean(mpg),
    .groups="drop"
  )

ggplot(summary_data, aes(x = cyl, y = avg_mpg,fill = cyl))+
  geom_bar(stat="identity")+
  labs(
    title="Average MPG by cylinder count",
    x="number of cylinders",
    y="avg MPG"
  )+
