eq_clean_data: Tidy and subset earthquake data

In drsmd23/Eq: Visualise earthquake data

Description

This function (eq_clean_data) removes unnecessary columns using the select_ function from the dplyr package (select_). The columns that are kept in the data are: YEAR, MONTH, DAY, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, LOCATION_NAME, TOTAL_DEATHS, COUNTRY, EQ_PRIMARY. Earthquakes with negative year values are excluded from the data using the filter_ function from the dplyr package (filter_). The mutate_ function from the dplyr package (mutate_) is used to create a date column and ensure analysis columns are numeric.

Usage

eq_clean_data(data)

Arguments

data	Name of input data frame on which to apply function.
