Week 6: Working with Data

In the previous R tutorial, we started to work on science classroom dataset. We applied the data intensive research steps to explore our data and investigate the relationship between students’ grades and time-spent.

Let’s remember which libraries and functions we used!

Your Turn:

Please write down one or two sentence to explain why and how we use the following libraries and functions.

  1. tidyverse: The tidyverse package was central to our work because it brings together tools for cleaning, transforming, and visualizing data. It made the workflow more organized and much easier to read.

  2. skimr: With skimr, we were able to quickly generate a detailed summary of the dataset. I found it especially helpful for spotting missing values and getting an overall sense of the data distribution.

  3. ggplot: ggplot allowed us to visually explore patterns in the dataset. Instead of just looking at numbers, we could actually see relationships, like how time spent studying might relate to grades.

  4. read_csv(): Before doing any analysis, we used read_csv() to import the dataset into R. Without loading the file properly, none of the later steps would have been possible.

  5. view(): When I wanted to examine the dataset more closely, view() opened it in a spreadsheet-style format. This made it easier to scroll through and visually inspect the entries.

  6. glimpse(): glimpse() gave us a quick snapshot of the structure of the dataset, including variable types and sample values. It’s a fast way to understand what you’re working with.

  7. head(): To get an initial feel for the data, we looked at the first few rows using head(). That helped confirm that everything was imported correctly.

  8. tail(): On the other end, tail() showed us the last few rows of the dataset. This was useful for checking completeness and consistency.

  9. select(): We used select() to focus on the columns relevant to our question. It helped simplify the dataset.

  10. filter(): filter() allowed us to narrow the data based on specific conditions. This was important when we wanted to analyze particular groups of students.

  11. arrange(): To examine trends more clearly, we sorted the data using arrange(). Organizing values helped reveal patterns that weren’t obvious before.

  12. desc(): When we wanted to see the highest values first, we paired arrange() with desc(). This reversed the order and made comparisons easier.

  13. geom_histogram(): geom_histogram() was used to visualized how a single variable was distributed. It helped us see whether the data was clustered, spread out, or skewed.

  14. geom_point(): For exploring relationships between two variables, geom_point() created a scatterplot. This made it easier to interpret the connection between study time and student performance.

Load the Tidyverse Package

Let’s start our R code along by loading the tidyverse package.

library(tidyverse)
── Attaching core tidyverse packages ──────────────────────── tidyverse 2.0.0 ──
✔ dplyr     1.2.0     ✔ readr     2.1.6
✔ forcats   1.0.1     ✔ stringr   1.6.0
✔ ggplot2   4.0.2     ✔ tibble    3.3.1
✔ lubridate 1.9.5     ✔ tidyr     1.3.2

✖ dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
✖ dplyr::lag()    masks stats::lag()
ℹ Use the conflicted package (<http://conflicted.r-lib.org/>) to force all conflicts to become errors

Load the online science class data

Now, load the online science class data from the data folder and assign your data to a new object.

library(readr)
library(skimr)

sci_online_classes <- read_csv("Data/sci-online-classes.csv")
Rows: 603 Columns: 30
── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Delimiter: ","
chr  (6): course_id, subject, semester, section, Gradebook_Item, Gender
dbl (23): student_id, total_points_possible, total_points_earned, percentage...
lgl  (1): Grade_Category

ℹ Use `spec()` to retrieve the full column specification for this data.
ℹ Specify the column types or set `show_col_types = FALSE` to quiet this message.

You loaded the data, now what should we do?

Your Turn:

Examine the contents of sci_classes in your console. You should type the object name to the console and check that.

Question: Is your object a tibble? How do you know?

Your response here: Yes, the object is a tibble. I know this because when I used glimpse() and printed the object in the console, it showed the number of rows and columns at the top and displayed each variable with its data type (like <dbl> and <chr>), which is the typical tibble format in tidyverse.

Hint: Check the output in the console.

Check your data with different functions

You can check your data with different functions. Let’s remember how we use different functions to check our data.

Isolating Data with dplyr

We will use select() function to select the following columns from our data.

  • student_id

  • subject

  • semester

  • FinalGradeCEMS

  • After selecting these columns, assign that to a new object with a name of “student_grade”.

student_grade <- sci_online_classes |>
  select(student_id, subject, semester, FinalGradeCEMS)

Your Turn:

Examine students’ grades, what did you realize about it? I noticed that there are grades ranging from 0 to 100 and many students with missing(N/A) grades.

Your response here:

Hint: Check the missing data.

Specific select

Now, we will make a specific selection.

  • Select all columns except subject and semester.

  • Assign to a new object with a different name.

  • Examine your data frame.

sci_dataframe<- select(sci_online_classes, -c(subject,semester))

Filter the sci_classes data for the following subjects:

  • BioA

  • PhysA

  • OcnA

  • Assign to a new object with a different name.

  • Use the summary() function to examine your data frame.

my_classes <- filter (sci_online_classes, subject %in% c("BioA", "PhysA", "OcnA"))

Arrange () Function

Let’s recall how we were using the arrange () function for our dataset.

  • Arrange sci_classes by subject subject then 

  • percentage_earned in descending order.

  • Assign to a new object.

  • Use the str() function to examine your data frame.

order_classes <- sci_online_classes |>

%>% Pipe Operator

Using sci_classes data and the %>% pipe operator:

  • Select subject, section, time spent in hours and final course grade.

  • Filter for students in OcnA courses with grades greater than or equal to 60.

  • Arrange grades by section in descending order.

  • Assign to a new object.

Examine the contents using a method of your choosing.

specific_course<- sci_online_classes %>%
  select(subject,section,TimeSpent_hours, FinalGradeCEMS) %>%
  filter(subject=="OcnA" & FinalGradeCEMS >= 60) %>%
  arrange (desc(section))

Deriving info with dplyr

We will practice summarise () and group_by () functions now.

Summarise () Function

Using sci_classes data and the summarise() function:

  • Get a distinct count of course ids.

  • Use the %>% operator

sci_online_classes %>%
  summarise(courses<-n_distinct(course_id))
# A tibble: 1 × 1
  `courses <- n_distinct(course_id)`
                               <int>
1                                 26

  • Get a distinct count of course ids.

  • Use the |> operator

sci_online_classes |>
  summarise(courses<-n_distinct(course_id))
# A tibble: 1 × 1
  `courses <- n_distinct(course_id)`
                               <int>
1                                 26

Group_by () Function

Using the sci_classes data and the pipe operator.

  • Filter final grades to remove NAs.

  • Group your data by subject and gender.

  • Summarise your data to calculate the following stats:

  • total number of students

  • mean final grade

  • mean time spent in the course

  • Assign to a new object

  • Examine the contents using a method of your choosing.

finals<-sci_online_classes %>%
  filter(!is.na(FinalGradeCEMS)) %>%
  group_by(subject, Gender) %>%
  summarise(total=sum(student_id),
            grade=mean(FinalGradeCEMS),
            time=mean(TimeSpent_hours))
`summarise()` has regrouped the output.
ℹ Summaries were computed grouped by subject and Gender.
ℹ Output is grouped by subject.
ℹ Use `summarise(.groups = "drop_last")` to silence this message.
ℹ Use `summarise(.by = c(subject, Gender))` for per-operation grouping
  (`?dplyr::dplyr_by`) instead.

Mutate () Function

Replace the dashed lines in the following code to;

  • Create a new variable called score that is the product of percentage earned and 100

  • Create a faceted scatter plot with hours spent in the course on the x-axis, score on the y-axis, and point colored by gender.

  • Include an alpha value to your graph.

sci_online_classes %>%
  mutate(score = percentage_earned * 100) %>%
  ggplot() +
  geom_point(mapping = aes(x = TimeSpent_hours,
                           y = score,
                           col = Gender)) +
  facet_wrap(~subject)

Final Step:

You are almost done, all you need to is to render your file and publish it in one of the following platform.

Your Turn:

Render File: For now, we will wrap up this work by converting our work into a webpage that can be used to communicate your learning and demonstrate some of your new R skills. To do so, you will need to “render” your document by clicking the Render button in the menu bar at that the top of this file. This will do two things; it will:

  1. check through all your code for any errors; and,

  2. create a file in your directory that you can use to share you work through Posit Cloud, RPubs , GitHub Pages, Quarto Pub, or other methods.

  3. Submit your link to the Blackboard!

Now that you’ve finished your Rtutorial study, scroll back to the very top of this Quarto Document and change the author: “YOUR NAME HERE” to your actual name surrounded by quotation marks like so: author: “Dr. Cansu Tatar”.
