socviz's Introduction

socviz

This is an R package of datasets, functions, and course materials to go along with the book Data Visualization: A Practical Introduction (Princeton University Press, 2019).

What's in this Package

The socviz package contains about twenty five datasets and a number of utility and convenience functions. Most of them are used in Data Visualization: A Practical Introduction (http://socviz.co), and there are also a few others as well for self-learners and students to practice their skills on.

A course packet is also included. This is a zipped file containing an R Studio project consisting of a nine R Markdown documents that parallel the chapters in the book. They contain the code for almost all the figures in the book (and a few more besides). Some support files are also included, to help demonstrate things like reading in your own data locally in R.

Installation

To install the package, you can follow the instructions in the Preface to the book. Alternatively, first download and install R for MacOS, Windows or Linux, as appropriate. Then download and install RStudio. Launch RStudio and then type the following code at the Console prompt (> ), hitting return at the end of each line:

my_packages <- c("tidyverse", "fs", "devtools")
install.packages(my_packages)

install.packages("socviz")

To install the development version of socviz, instead of install.packages("socviz") do the following:

devtools::install_github("kjhealy/socviz")

Once everything has downloaded and been installed (which may take a little while), load the socviz package:

library(socviz)

The Course Packet

The supporting materials are contained in a compressed .zip file. To extract them to your Desktop, make sure the socviz package is loaded as described above. Then do something like this:

setup_course_notes(folder = "~/Desktop")

You can choose the destination folder, but you must supply one. Here, the dataviz_course_notes.zip file will be copied to your Desktop, and uncompressed there into a folder called dataviz_course_notes. Open the folder, and double-click the file named dataviz.Rproj to launch the project as a new RStudio session. If you want to uncompress the file somewhere other than your Desktop, e.g. your Documents folder, you can do this:

setup_course_notes(folder = "~/Documents")

More about the Datasets and Functions

The included datasets and functions are documented at http://kjhealy.github.io/socviz/reference/.

socviz's Issues

Enable HTTPS for http://socviz.co

I hope you don't mind me posting the issue in this repo, but could you enable HTTPS for the website http://socviz.co? I wish to exhibit this book on the homepage of https://bookdown.org. Thanks!

Path for election16-county.csv

Thanks for the very interesting text! Working through to section 8.2., I saw:

election_data <- read_csv("data/election16-county.csv")

This data set doesn't seem to exist within the package. I found it at:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kjhealy/viz-election/master/election16-county.csv

Missing figures at section 2.3.3

At site http://socviz.co/gettingstarted.html there are some figures missing, specifically figure 2.5 and others labeled "Upper" and "Lower".

6.6 Grouped Analysis and List Columns - Problem with "sample_n()

After creating the grouped_df "out_tidy" running "out_tidy %>% sample_n(5)" does not seem to work.

I get the following error message:

"Error in sample_n():
! Problem while computing indices.
ℹ The error occurred in group 1: continent = Africa, year = 1952.
Caused by error:
! size must be less than or equal to 1 (size of data).
ℹ set replace = TRUE to use sampling with replacement.
Run rlang::last_error() to see where the error occurred."

Compatibility problems...

I have trying to install the "socviz" package and, depending on the type of package, I have different errors:

1.- If I try to install the package directly "install.packages("socviz")", R says
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘socviz’ is not available (for R version 3.5.0)

2.- If I try to install the developer version "devtools::install_github("kjhealy/socviz")", R says
Error: object ‘glue_collapse’ is not exported by 'namespace:glue'

I have bought your book and try to follow it. However, I'm stuck just at the beginning because I can not install the packages that you recommend at the preface section of your book.

Could you help me?

gss_sm update?

It looks like the version of gss_sm in the package is different from the one you used in the book. In the version in the package, I find 158 protestants in the Northeast. In the book, you report 123. Would it be possible to update the package with the version you used in the book?

I am using the github version of the package, which I downloaded today, Jan. 29, 2021.

Thanks

socviz not installing

I ran the following code in R as mentioned in the introduction of the book:
devtools::install_github("kjhealy/socviz")

I got this error:
Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub: Unsupported proxy 'https://gate-zrh.swissre.com:9443', libcurl is built without the HTTPS-proxy support.

Any help on this please?

Library (socviz) is loaded before the procedure.

I can find the template file in the socviz project folder under templates.

dataset election: Swapped electoral votes?

It seems that the amount of electoral votes of democrats and republicans are swapped:

Documentation says:

ev_dem. Electoral votes for Clinton
ev_rep. Electoral votes for Trump

Data says:

election %>% summarize_if(str_detect(names(.), "ev"), sum)
# A tibble: 1 x 3
  ev_dem ev_rep ev_oth
   <dbl>  <dbl>  <dbl>
1    304    227      7
