- Chapter 5 - Data Transformation (5.1 through 5.3)
As always, start by loading {tidyverse}, plus the {nycflights13} data package that will be used in this chapter.
Pro tip - when you’re working in an R script or notebook, put all of the libraries at the beginning so you can easily identify later which ones you’ve used.
library(tidyverse)
library(nycflights13)-
!!dplyr cheatsheet!! - read it early and often! Visual cues are really helpful to remember what these functions do. https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/master/data-transformation.pdf
-
tibble == dataframe with extra features
-
Use
view(dataset)to view a dataframe in the RStudio viewer
view(flights)- Remember that when you run a function on an object, it doesn’t change the original object. You’ll need to store that output as a second object in order to have access to it again.
Example - selecting flights that occurred on Jan 1:
# this prints the output, but doesn't save it
filter(flights, month == 1, day == 1)## # A tibble: 842 x 19

jan1_flights <- filter(flights, month == 1, day == 1)
- Find all flights that
- Had an arrival delay of two or more hours
- Flew to Houston (IAH or HOU)
- Were operated by United, American, or Delta
- Departed in summer (July, August, and September)
- Arrived more than two hours late, but didn’t leave late
- Were delayed by at least an hour, but made up over 30 minutes in flight
- Departed between midnight and 6am (inclusive)

- Another useful dplyr filtering helper is
between(). What does it do? Can you use it to simplify the code needed to answer the previous challenges?
According to the help (?between), between(x, left, right) is a
shortcut for x >= left & x <= right

These flights are also missing the arrival time, so they were probably cancelled.
- Why is
NA ^ 0not missing? Why isNA | TRUEnot missing? Why isFALSE & NAnot missing? Can you figure out the general rule? (NA * 0is a tricky counterexample!)
I didn’t understand the solutions in the main manual: https://jrnold.github.io/r4ds-exercise-solutions/transform.html#exercise-5.2.2
The explanations in this other study guide made a bit more sense: https://brshallo.github.io/r4ds_solutions/05-data-transformations.html#filter-rows
NA ^ 0## [1] 1
# NA means "unknown"
# Any number x^0 = 1, so the answer is 1 even if x is unknown
NA | TRUE## [1] TRUE
# For an "or" statement, if one of the values is TRUE then the whole statement is TRUE, even if the other value is unknown
FALSE & NA## [1] FALSE
# For an "and" statement, if one of the values is FALSE then the whole statement is FALSE, even if the other value is unknown
NA * 0## [1] NA
# Natural numbers * 0 are always 0, but NA could also represent positive or negative Infinity (which would return the output "NaN" or "Not a Number" when multiplied by 0), so the answer is unknown
Inf * 0## [1] NaN
-Inf * 0## [1] NaN
Even if you (and by you, I mean me) don’t fully understand this logic, it’s important to remember these special cases. If you’re performing comparisons that are returning unexpected results, it may be because you have NAs in your data that you didn’t know about but need to deal with.
- How could you use
arrange()to sort all missing values to the start? (Hint: useis.na()).
- Note: you will only be able to see the first 1000 rows of the
dataframe if you’re working in an R Notebook/Markdown document. Go
to the RStudio viewer to see the last rows, or use
tail().

This is a bit tricky! is.na(dep_time) will return either TRUE or
FALSE for each row. Remember that TRUE = 1 and FALSE = 0, so
sorting by desc(is.na(dep_time)) will return all the 1’s (dep_time
== NA) and then the 0’s (dep_time != NA).

use the mutate() function to create a new column for speed.

When you’re performing multiple operations on a dataframe, you can either:
- Save each output as a new dataframe, or
- Use the “pipe” operator
%>%
- Basically the pipe takes the output of one function and inputs it into the next function.
Example 1: save each output as new dataframe
selected_flights <- select(flights, origin, dep_delay)
filtered_IAH <- filter(selected_flights, origin == "JFK")
arrange_depdelay <- arrange(filtered_IAH, desc(dep_delay))
arrange_depdelay## # A tibble: 111,279 x 2
## origin dep_delay
## <chr> <dbl>
## 1 JFK 1301
## 2 JFK 1137
## 3 JFK 1014
## 4 JFK 1005
## 5 JFK 960
## 6 JFK 899
## 7 JFK 853
## 8 JFK 853
## 9 JFK 825
## 10 JFK 800
## # ... with 111,269 more rows
Example 2: use pipes
flights %>%
select(origin, dep_delay) %>%
filter(origin == "JFK") %>%
arrange(desc(dep_delay)) %>%
view()
# can also assign this whole sequence to a variable
# and/or pipe the whole thing to `view()`You can also mix it up if you want to save some intermediate outputs but not others.
