This file as well as the associated R Markdown reproducible analysis source file used to create it can be found at http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/is5. This work leverages initiatives undertaken by Project MOSAIC (http://www.mosaic-web.org), an NSF-funded effort to improve the teaching of statistics, calculus, science and computing in the undergraduate curriculum. In particular, we utilize the `mosaic` package, which was written to simplify the use of R for introductory statistics courses. A short summary of the R needed to teach introductory statistics can be found in the mosaic package vignettes (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mosaic). A paper describing the mosaic approach was published in the *R Journal*: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-024. ## Chapter 10: Sample Surveys ```{r} library(mosaic) library(readr) library(janitor) ``` ### Section 10.1: The Three Big Ideas of Sampling ### Section 10.2: Populations and Parameters ### Section 10.3: Simple Random Samples #### Random Matters We begin by loading in the data on birthweights. ```{r message = FALSE, warning = FALSE} Births <- read_csv("http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/is5/data/AllBirths1998.csv") ``` By default, `read_csv()` prints the variable names. These messages were suppressed using the `message=FALSE` code chunk option to save space and improve readability. ```{r warning = FALSE} # Histogram of known population gf_histogram(~birthweight, data = Births, binwidth = 125, center = 62.5) %>% gf_labs(x = "Weight (g)", y = "Births") ``` The histogram shows the distribution of the population of nearly four million births. Warning messages about missing values were suppressed using the `warnings=FALSE` code chunk option. Figure 10.2 (page 326): ```{r} # Samples of 100 set.seed(12452) gf_density(~birthweight, data = sample(Births, size = 100), fill = 5) %>% gf_density(~birthweight, data = sample(Births, size = 100), fill = 4) %>% gf_labs(x = "Birthweights", y = "", title = "Two Samples of Size 100") ``` ```{r} # Samples of 250 set.seed(12452) gf_density(~birthweight, data = sample(Births, size = 250), fill = 5) %>% gf_density(~birthweight, data = sample(Births, size = 250), fill = 4) %>% gf_labs(x = "Birthweights", y = "", title = "Two Samples of Size 250") ``` ```{r} # Samples of 1000 set.seed(12452) gf_density(~birthweight, data = sample(Births, size = 1000), fill = 5) %>% gf_density(~birthweight, data = sample(Births, size = 1000), fill = 4) %>% gf_labs(x = "Birthweights", y = "", title = "Two Samples of Size 1000") ``` ### Section 10.4: Other Sampling Designs ### Section 10.5: From the Population to the Sample: You Can't Always Get What You Want ### Section 10.6: The Valid Survey ### Section 10.7: Common Sampling Mistakes, or How to Sample Badly
