eq_location_clean: Tidy location names field in earthquake data

In drsmd23/Eq: Visualise earthquake data

Description

This function (eq_location_clean) removes country names at the beginning of the LOCATION_NAME field. It is assumed that country names are followed by a colon when a subsequent city name is provided. Where only the country name is given in the LOCATION_NAME field, the country name is removed since this information is in the country field. The removal of country names is performed using the mutate_ function from the dplyr package (mutate_). The LOCATION_NAME field is converted to title case using the str_to_title function from the stringr package (str_to_title).

Usage

eq_location_clean(data)

Arguments

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

Value

This function returns a data frame table where the LOCATION_NAME field in the earthquake data is cleansed.

Examples
