Principles of Data Visualization and Introduction to ggplot2
I have provided you with data about the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the US, as compiled by Inc. magazine. lets read this in:
library(ggplot2)
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
library(corrgram)
inc <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/charleyferrari/CUNY_DATA608/master/lecture1/Data/inc5000_data.csv", header= TRUE)
And lets preview this data:

Think a bit on what these summaries mean. Use the space below to add some more relevant non-visual exploratory information you think helps you understand this data:
# Insert your code here, create more chunks as necessary
summary(lm(Employees ~ Revenue, data = inc))
##
## Call:
## lm(formula = Employees ~ Revenue, data = inc)
##
## Residuals:
## Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
## -9130 -148 -128 -74 66211
##
## Coefficients:
## Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
## (Intercept) 1.574e+02 1.877e+01 8.384 <2e-16 ***
## Revenue 1.562e-06 7.643e-08 20.432 <2e-16 ***

## Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1

## Residual standard error: 1300 on 4987 degrees of freedom
## (12 observations deleted due to missingness)
## Multiple R-squared: 0.07725, Adjusted R-squared: 0.07706
## F-statistic: 417.5 on 1 and 4987 DF, p-value: < 2.2e-16
Create a graph that shows the distribution of companies in the dataset by State (ie how many are in each state). There are a lot of States, so consider which axis you should use. This visualization is ultimately going to be consumed on a ‘portrait’ oriented screen (ie taller than wide), which should further guide your layout choices.
# Answer Question 1 here
state = inc %>%
group_by(State) %>%
count(State)%>%
arrange(desc(n))
head(state)
## # A tibble: 6 × 2
## # Groups: State [6]
## State n
## <chr> <int>
## 1 CA 701
## 2 TX 387
## 3 NY 311
## 4 VA 283
## 5 FL 282
## 6 IL 273
f <- ggplot(state, aes(x=reorder(State, n), y=n, fill=n))
f + geom_bar(stat="identity", width=0.4, position = position_dodge(width=0.5)) + coord_flip() + labs(x = "State", y = "Number of Fastest Growing Companies")
Lets dig in on the state with the 3rd most companies in the data set.
Imagine you work for the state and are interested in how many people are
employed by companies in different industries. Create a plot that shows
the average and/or median employment by industry for companies in this
state (only use cases with full data, use R’s
complete.cases() function.) In addition to this, your graph
should show how variable the ranges are, and you should deal with
outliers.
# Answer Question 2 here
inc <- inc[complete.cases(inc),]
ny = inc %>%
filter(State == "NY")
g <- ggplot(ny, aes(reorder(Industry,Employees,mean), Employees))
g <- g + geom_boxplot() + coord_flip() + labs(x = "Industry", y = "Employees")
g
g + scale_y_log10()
Removing Outliers
c <- ggplot(ny, aes(Employees))
c + geom_density(kernel = "gaussian")
head(ny %>% arrange(desc(Employees)))

ny_no_outliers = ny %>%
filter(Employees <= 3000)
g <- ggplot(ny_no_outliers, aes(reorder(Industry,Employees,mean), Employees))
g <- g + geom_boxplot() + coord_flip() + labs(x = "Industry", y = "Employees")
g
Now imagine you work for an investor and want to see which industries generate the most revenue per employee. Create a chart that makes this information clear. Once again, the distribution per industry should be shown.
# Answer Question 3 here
inc <- inc[complete.cases(inc),]
industry_emp = inc %>%
group_by(Industry) %>%
summarise(Revenue=sum(Revenue), Employees=sum(Employees)) %>%
mutate(Revenue_per_Employee = Revenue/Employees)
d <- ggplot(industry_emp, aes(x=reorder(Industry, Revenue_per_Employee), y=Revenue_per_Employee, fill=Revenue_per_Employee))
d + geom_bar(stat="identity") + coord_flip() + labs(x = "Industry", y = "Number of Employees")
rev_emp = inc %>%
mutate(Revenue_per_Employee = Revenue/Employees)
h <- ggplot(rev_emp, aes(reorder(Industry,Revenue_per_Employee,mean), Revenue_per_Employee))
h <- h + geom_boxplot() + coord_flip() + labs(x = "Industry", y = "Employees")
h
h + scale_y_log10()
