In bayesball/LearnEDAfunctions: Functions for Learning Exploratory Data Analysis

LearnEDAfunctions

This package includes special functions and datasets for a course on Exploratory Data Analysis based on John Tukey's EDA text.

Installation

It can be installed from Jim Albert's Github site:

library(remotes)
install_github("bayesball/LearnEDAfunctions")

The only prerequisite packages are the dplyr and ggplot2 packages.

Loading

The LearnEDAfunctions package is loaded by the library() function:

library(LearnEDAfunctions)

Other EDA Functions

Also there are several functions from other packages used in the EDA course. One will need to install these packages to use this functions.

• stem.leaf() from the aplpack package
• rootogram() from the vcd package

Functions in LearnEDAfunctions

fit.gaussian() function

Fits a Gaussian curve to binned data.

data <- rt(200,df=5)
bins <- pretty(range(data))
g.mean <- 0
g.sd <- 1
fit.gaussian(data, bins, g.mean, g.sd)

half.slope.ratio() function

Half-slope ratio

sx <- c(10,30,50)
sy <- c(5,8,20)
half.slope.ratio(sx, sy, 1, 1)
half.slope.ratio(sx, sy, -0.5, -0.5)

han.R() function

Hanning a sequence.

plot(WWWusage)
plot(smooth(WWWusage, kind="3RSS"))
plot(han(smooth(WWWusage, kind="3RSS")))

hinkley() function

Hinkley's quick method.

raw <- state.x77[, "Population"]
hinkley(raw)
logs <- log(raw)
hinkley(logs)

lval_plus() function

Finds outliers by group using Tukey's rule

lval_plus(beatles, time, album)

lval() function

Letter values

lval(rnorm(100))

mtrans() function

raw <- state.x77[,"Population"]
matched.roots <- mtrans(raw,0.5)
matched.logs <- mtrans(raw,0)
boxplot(data.frame(raw, matched.roots,
                   matched.logs))

plot2way() function

Plot of an additive fit.
