More information about the book can be found at http://wps.aw.com/aw_deveaux_stats_series. 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/sdm4. 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 (http://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 4: Understanding and comparing distributions ### Section 4.1: Comparing groups with histograms See Figure 4.1 on page 85 ```{r message = FALSE} library(mosaic) library(readr) options(digits = 3) Hopkins <- read_delim("http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/sdm4/data/Hopkins_Forest_2011.txt", delim = "\t") names(Hopkins) gf_histogram(~ AvgWindSpeed, binwidth = 0.5, center = 0.24, xlab = "Average wind speed (mph)", data = Hopkins) ``` Here we reproduce Figure 4.2 on page 85 ```{r} Hopkins <- mutate(Hopkins, Summer = Month >= 4 & Month <= 9, Winter = !Summer ) gf_histogram(~ AvgWindSpeed, binwidth = 0.5, center = 0.24, xlab = "Average summer wind speed (mph)", data = filter(Hopkins, Summer == TRUE)) favstats(~ AvgWindSpeed, data = filter(Hopkins, Summer == TRUE)) gf_histogram(~ AvgWindSpeed, binwidth = 0.5, center = 0.24, xlab = "Average winter wind speed (mph)", data = filter(Hopkins, Winter == TRUE)) favstats(~ AvgWindSpeed, data = filter(Hopkins, Winter == TRUE)) ``` ### Section 4.2: Comparing groups with boxplots Here we reproduce Figure 4.3 on page 87 ```{r} gf_boxplot(AvgWindSpeed ~ as.factor(Month), data = Hopkins) ``` ### Section 4.3: Outliers ```{r} filter(Hopkins, Month == 2, AvgWindSpeed > 6) # in February filter(Hopkins, Month == 6, AvgWindSpeed > 3.9) # in June ``` ### Section 4.4: Timeplots: Order, please! See Figures 4.4 through 4.6 starting on page 92 ```{r message = FALSE} gf_point(AvgWindSpeed ~ DayofYear, data = Hopkins) gf_point(AvgWindSpeed ~ DayofYear, data = Hopkins) %>% gf_lm() gf_point(AvgWindSpeed ~ DayofYear, lwd = 3, data = Hopkins) %>% gf_lm() %>% gf_smooth(se = FALSE) ``` ### Section 4.5: Re-expressing data: A first look See Figure 4.7 on page 94 ```{r message = FALSE} CEO <- read_delim("http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/sdm4/data/CEO_Salary_2012.txt", delim = "\t") favstats(~ One_Year_Pay, data = CEO) gf_histogram(~ One_Year_Pay, binwidth = 2.5, center = 1.24, data = CEO) ``` Figure 4.8 on page 95 ```{r} nrow(CEO) # let's get rid of the CEO's with 0 salaries... CEO <- filter(CEO, One_Year_Pay > 0) nrow(CEO) CEO <- mutate(CEO, log10salary = log10(One_Year_Pay * 1000000)) gf_histogram(~ log10salary, binwidth = .25, center = .124, data = CEO) ``` On the log 10 scale, we can roughly interpret the values as the number of digits in the CEO salary.
