Package 'LSTbook'

Description

These data were published in the American Association of University Professsor's journal, Academe. There were compiled by Marcia Bellas drawing on data from the 1984 Carnegie survey of faculty, the US National Science Foundation, the National Research Council, and the US Census Bureau. The motivation for the work was to investigate salary "disparities among faculty whose education and experience are comparable and whose duties are broadly similar," in particular those due to sex. Regretably, the data do not include measures of the production of workers in the various fields or the numbers of people employed in each field.

Usage

data(AAUP)

Format

28 rows, each of which is a professional discipline:

• subject name of the discipline

• ac: average salary (USD) for academics

• nonacsal median salary (USD) for non-academics

• fem: fraction of the workforce that is female

• unemp: unemployment rate in the discipline

• nonac: fraction of the workforce that is non-academic,

• licensed: Does work in the profession require a license (from George Cobb's paper)

Description

Convenience function for adding labels to point_plot or others without needing the ggplot2 + pipe.

Usage

add_plot_labels(P, ..., color = NULL)

Arguments

Value

A ggplot graphics object

Examples

mtcars |> point_plot(mpg ~ hp + cyl) |>
  add_plot_labels(x = "The X axis", y = "Vertical", color = "# cylinders")

Description

To guide a reader in quantifying the slope of components of an x-y graph, a "slope rose" is helpful. Several radiating lines are drawn, each marked with a numerical slope. A suitable choice of slopes is made automatically, based on the x- and y- scale of the plot.

Usage

add_slope_rose(
  P,
  x = NULL,
  y = NULL,
  scale = 1/4,
  color = "red",
  keepers = c("both", "pos", "neg")
)

add_violin_ruler(
  P,
  x = NULL,
  y = NULL,
  width = 1/10,
  ticks = seq(0, 1, by = 0.1),
  ...
)

Arguments

Details

For the ruler, x gives the position of the root of the ruler, with the rest of the ruler moving off to the left. (For vertically oriented rulers, use a negative width.)

Value

A ggplot graphics object

Note

Use the pipe operator to send a previously made plot to have a rose added. Don't use the {ggplot2} + connector.

Examples

mtcars |> point_plot(mpg ~ hp, annot="model") |> add_slope_rose()
mtcars |> point_plot(wt ~ hp) |> add_slope_rose(keepers="pos", color="blue", x=100, scale=.5 )

Description

Percentage of body fat, age, weight, height, body mass index and fourteen circumference measurements are given for 184 college women ages 18-25. Body fat was accurately determined by an underwater weighing technique which requires special equipment and training of the individuals conducting the process. Circumference measurements were made to the nearest 0.1 cm using a cloth tape in complete contact with the skin but without compression of the soft tissues. The measurement process, described somewhat incompletely below, is described in greater detail in Slack (1997) who used the standards recommended by Lohman, Roche and Martrell (1988).

Description

A 1972–1981 health survey in The Hague, Netherlands, discovered an association between keeping pet birds and increased risk of lung cancer. To investigate birdkeeping as a risk factor, researchers conducted a case–control study of patients in 1985 at four hospitals in The Hague (population 450,000). They identified 49 cases of lung cancer among the patients who were registered with a general practice, who were age 65 or younger and who had resided in the city since 1965. They also selected 98 controls from a population of residents having the same general age structure.

Usage

Description

Helpers for specifying nodes in simulations

Mix two variables together. The output will have the specified R-squared with var1 and variance one.

Evaluate an expression separately for each case

Usage

categorical(n = 5, ..., exact = TRUE)

cat2value(variable, ...)

bernoulli(n = 0, logodds = NULL, prob = 0.5, labels = NULL)

mix_with(signal, noise = NULL, R2 = 0.5, var = 1, exact = FALSE)

each(ex)

block_by(block_var, levels = c("treatment", "control"), show_block = FALSE)

random_levels(n, k = NULL, replace = FALSE)

Arguments

Details

datasim_make() constructs a simulation which can then be run with datasim_run(). Each argument to datasim_make() specifies one node of the simulation using an assignment-like syntax such as y <- 3*x + 2 + rnorm(n). The datasim helpers documented here are for use on the right-hand side of the specification of a node. They simplify potentially complex operations such as blocking, creation of random categorical methods, translation from categorical to numerical values, etc.

The target R-squared and variance will be achieved only if exact=TRUE or the sample size goes to infinity.

Value

A numerical or categorical vector which will be assembled into a data frame by datasim_run()

Examples

Demo <- datasim_make(
  g <- categorical(n, a=2, b=1, c=0.5),
  x <- cat2value(g, a=-1.7, b=0.1, c=1.2),
  y <- bernoulli(logodds = x, labels=c("no", "yes")),
  z <- random_levels(n, k=4),
  w <- mix_with(x, noise=rnorm(n), R2=0.75, var=1),
  treatment <- block_by(w),
  dice <- each(rnorm(1, sd = abs(w)))
)

Description

These are the actual grades for 400+ individual students in the courses they took at a small, liberal-arts college in the midwest US. All the students graduated in 2006. Each row corresponds to a single student in a single course. The data have been de-identified by translating the student ID, the instructor ID, and the name of the department. Typically a graduating student has taken about 32 courses. As another form of de-identification, only half of the courses each student, selected randomly, are included. Only courses with 10 or more students enrolled were included.

Usage

data(College_grades)

Format

A data frame with 6146 Grades for 443 students.

-grade The letter grade for the student in this course: A is the highest.
- sessionID An identifier for the course taken. Courses
offered multiple times in one semester or across semesters have individual IDs.
-sid The student ID
-dept The department in which the course was offered. 100 is entry-level,
200 sophomore-level, 300 junior-level, 400 senior-level.
-enroll Student enrollment in the course. This includes students who are not
part of this sample.
-iid Instructor ID
-gradepoint A translation of the letter grade into a numerical scale. 4 is high.
Some letter grades are not counted in a student's gradepoint average. These have \code{NA} for
the gradepoint.

Source

The data were helpfully provided by the registrar of the college with the proviso that the de-identification steps outlined above be performed.

Description

The summaries are always in the form of a data frame

• conf_interval() — displays coefficients and their confidence intervals

• R2() — R-squared of a model together with related measures such as F, adjusted R-squared, the p-value, and degrees of freedom used in calculating the p-value.

• regression_summary() – A regression report in data-frame format.

• anova_summary() — An ANOVA report in data-frame format. If only one model is passed as an argument, the data frame will have one line per model term. If multiple models are given as arguments, the ANOVA report will show the increments from one model to the next.

Usage

conf_interval(model, level = 0.95, show_p = FALSE)

R2(model)

regression_summary(model)

anova_summary(...)

Arguments

Details

Many of these are wrappers around broom::tidy() used to emphasize to students that the results are a summary in the form of a regression report, similar to the summaries produced by stats::confint(), stats::coef(), etc.

Value

Examples

Model <- CRDS |> model_train(FEV ~ age + smoker)
Model |> conf_interval()

Description

Make a simple drawing of a Directed Acyclic Graph as constructed by datasim_make.

Usage

dag_draw(DAG, ..., report_hidden = FALSE)

Arguments

Details

See the igraph package for more details.

By default, edges are not drawn to hidden nodes, that is, those whose names begin with a dot. To show the hidden nodes, use the argument show_hidden=TRUE.

Value

No return value. Called for graphics side-effects.

Examples

dag_draw(sim_03)

Description

Construct and modify data simulations

Usage

datasim_make(...)

datasim_to_igraph(sim, report_hidden = FALSE)

datasim_intervene(sim, ...)

Arguments

Details

Simulations in LSTbook are first specified by providing the code for each node (which can be written in terms of the values of other nodes). Once constructed, data can be extracted from the simulation using datasim_run(n) or the generic take_sample(n).

Each argument defines one node in the simulation. The argument syntax is unusual, using assignment. For instance, an argument y <- 3*x + rnorm(n) defines a node named y. The R code on the RHS of the assignment operator (that is, 3*x + rnorm(n) in the example) will be used by datasim_run() to generate the y variable when the simulation is run. Nodes defined by previous arguments can be used in the code for later arguments.

Helper functions such as mix_with(), categorical(), and several others can be used within the node to perform complex operations.

Remember to use commas to separate the arguments in the normal way.

Value

an object of class "datasim". Internally, this is a list of the R assignment expressions used when running the simulation.

Examples

Simple_sim <- datasim_make(x <- rnorm(n, sd=2), y <- 3*x + rnorm(n))
Simple_sim |> datasim_run(n = 5)

Description

Run a datasim simulation, producing a data frame

Usage

datasim_run(sim, n = 5, seed = NULL, report_hidden = FALSE)

Arguments

Description

Intensive care unit nurse Kristen Gilbert worked for several years in the 1990s at a Veterans Administration Hospital. Her co-workers became suspicious. The co-workers observed that unexpected patient deaths occurred more frequently on her shifts than on other shifts. They also noticed a shortage of supplies of the cardiac stimulant epinephrine, which can be fatal when administered in large enough doses through an IV drip. The hospital investigators went through all the shifts during the years Gilbert worked at the hospital, noting whether Gilbert was on duty during that shift and whether there was a death during the shift.

Description

An experiment about ways to encourage voting in primary elections. During the 2006 primary election in Michigan, registered voters were randomly assigned to different treatments, each in the form of a postcard mailed to them before the primary. The most high-pressure message("Neighbors") listed the voters neighbors and whether they voted in the previous primary elections. The card promised to send out the same information after the 2006 primary, so that "you and your neighbors will all know who voted and who did not." (From the Gerber et al. reference, below.) In another treatment, "Civic Duty," the postcard said, "On August 8, remember your rights and responsibilities as a citizen. Remember to vote. DO YOUR CIVIC DUTY—VOTE!" Yet another treatment, "Hawthorne" simply told the voter that "YOU ARE BEING STUDIED!" as part of research on why people do or do not vote. There was also a control group that did not receive a postcard.

Usage

Description

Abstract from the research paper: Five-factor personality ratings were provided by undergraduate freshmen, their parents, and their college peers as predictors of cumulative GPA upon graduation. Conscientiousness ratings were significant predictors of GPA by all three raters; peer ratings of Conscientiousness were the only significant predictor of GPA when self-, parent-, and peer-ratings of Conscientiousness were examined simultaneously. College major was a moderator of this relationship, with self- and parent-ratings of Conscientiousness correlating more strongly with GPA among Social Science majors and parent-ratings of Conscientiousness correlating less strongly with GPA among Science majors. These findings replicate existing research regarding the validity of informant ratings as predictors of behavioral outcomes such as academic performance, while emphasizing the importance of including multiple informants from various life contexts.

Usage

Description

Evaluate a model on inputs

Usage

model_eval(
  mod,
  data = NULL,
  ...,
  skeleton = FALSE,
  ncont = 3,
  interval = c("prediction", "confidence", "none"),
  level = 0.95,
  type = c("response", "link")
)

Arguments

Value

A data frame. There is one row for each row of the input values (see data parameter). The columns include

• the explanatory variables

• .output — the output of the model that corresponds to the explanatory value

• the .lwr and .upr bounds of the prediction or confidence interval

• if training data is used as the input, then it's possible to calculate the residual. This will be called .resid.

Examples

mod <- mtcars |> model_train(mpg ~ hp + wt)
model_eval(mod, hp=100, wt=c(2,3))
model_eval(mod) # training data
model_eval(mod, skeleton=TRUE)

Description

Only used internally in {LSTbook}. These were originally arranged as S3 methods, but now the dispatch is done "by hand" in order to eliminate any exported S3 methods.

Usage

model_eval_fun(model, data = NULL, interval = "none", level = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

Value

a data frame

Description

This can be used to automatically determine a model type or to determine if the specified model type is consistent with the specification/data

Usage

model_family(
  .data,
  .tilde,
  family = c("auto", "lm", "linear", "binomial", "poisson", "svm", "gaussian", "rlm")
)

Arguments

Description

Every model has an implicit function whose output is the response variable and which has one or more explanatory variables. (Exceptionally, there might be no explanatory variables as in response ~ 1.) One of the explanatory variables can be mapped to the horizontal axis; this can be either quantitative or categorical. The remaining explanatory variables will be mapped to color, facet-horizontal, and facet-vertical. For visual clarity, any quantitative variables among these remaining variables must be coerced to categorical, corresponding to a discrete set of colors and a discrete set of facets.

Usage

model_plot(
  mod,
  nlevels = 3,
  interval = c("confidence", "prediction", "none"),
  level = 0.95,
  palette = LETTERS[1:8],
  model_ink = 0.7
)

Arguments

Value

A ggplot graphics object

Description

A "skeleton" is a data frame containing "nicely spaced" values for the explanatory variables in a model.

Usage

model_skeleton(mod, data = NULL, ncont = 3, nfirstcont = 50)

Arguments

Value

a data frame

Examples

Model <- CRDS |> model_train(FEV ~ sex + age + height)
Model |> model_skeleton()

Description

An interface to several of the most often used model-fitting routines designed to make it easy to construct.

Usage

model_train(
  data,
  tilde,
  family = c("auto", "lm", "linear", "binomial", "poisson", "rlm")
)

Arguments

Details

Since data may be piped into this function, the training data frame will be called simply "data", the name of the first argument to this function. In order to be able to access the training data in such cases, the training data is assigned to an attribute of the resulting model, "training_data".

Value

An object of class "model_object". This is much the same as an "lm" or "glm" object but with the additional attribute of the training data and a printing method that encourages the use of the regression summary methods conf_interval(), R2(), or anova_summary()

Description

One-stop shopping to fit a model and return the model output on the training data.

Usage

model_values(data, tilde, family = c("linear", "prob", "counts"))

Arguments

Details

This is intended to be used ONLY WITHIN mutate()

Value

A vector (not a data frame) of the model evaluated on the training data. This is intended mainly for use within mutate(), so that a general model can be used in the place of simple reduction verbs like mean(), median()

Examples

mtcars |> mutate(mpg_mod = model_values(mpg ~ hp + wt)) |> select(hp, wt, mpg_mod) |> head()

Description

When it rains, some of the water is absorbed into the ground or quickly evaporates. Some of the water runs off (the "runoff") and is collected by streams and rivers. These data, from a 1964 reference on water resource management, were measured after 25 storms in the basin of the Monocacy River at Jug Bridge, Maryland, US.

Usage

Monocacy_river

Format

A data.frame with 25 observations on the following 2 variables'

Description

The do() function facilitates easy replication for randomization tests and bootstrapping (among other things). Part of what makes this particularly useful is the ability to cull from the objects produced those elements that are useful for subsequent analysis. cull_for_do does this culling. It is generic, and users can add new methods to either change behavior or to handle additional classes of objects.

Usage

mosaic_cull_for_do(object, ...)

Arguments

Details

When do(n) * expression is evaluated, expression is evaluated n times to produce a list of n result objects. cull_for_do is then applied to each element of this list to extract from it the information that should be stored. For example, when applied to a object of class "lm", the default cull_for_do extracts the coefficients, coefficient of determinism, an the estimate for the variance, etc.

Examples

Clock_auction |> model_train(price ~ resample(bidders)) |>
  R2() |> trials(times=10)

Description

On January 27, 1986, the night before the space shuttle Challenger exploded, an engineer recommended to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that the shuttle not be launched in the cold weather. The forecasted temperature for the Challenger launch was 31 degrees Fahrenheit—the coldest launch ever. After an intense 3-hour telephone conference, officials decided to proceed with the launch. This data frame contains the launch temperatures and the number of O-ring problems in 24 shuttle launches prior to the Challenger. (This documentation comes from the Sleuth3 package, where the dataset is called ex2223.)

Description

"The population for this study was the Pima Indian population near Phoenix, Arizona. That population has been under continuous study since 1965 by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases because of its high incidence rate of diabetes. Each community resident over 5 years of age was asked to undergo a standardized examination every two years, which included an oral glucose tolerance test. Diabetes was diagnosed according to World Health Organization Criteria; that is, if the 2 hour post-load plasma glucose was at least 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) at any survey examination or if the Indian Health Service Hospital serving the community found a glucose concentration of at least 200 mg/dl during the course of routine medical care." — quoted from the reference below. The data were published by Kaggle for a machine-learning competition whose goal was to develop a prediction function for diabetes.

Usage

Description

point_plot() makes it easy to construct an informative basic graph of a data frame. "Making it easy" means that the user only needs to specify two things: 1) the data frame to be used and 2) a tilde expression with the response variable on the left and up to three explanatory variables on the right. The response variable is mapped to the vertical axis while the first explanatory variable defines the horizontal axis. The second explanatory variable (if any) maps to color, the third (if any) defines facets. Quantitative variables used for color or faceting are cut into categorical variables, so color and facets will always be discrete.

Usage

point_plot(
  D,
  tilde,
  ...,
  seed = 101,
  annot = c("none", "violin", "model", "bw"),
  jitter = c("default", "none", "all", "x", "y"),
  interval = c("confidence", "none", "prediction"),
  point_ink = 0.5,
  model_ink = 0.4,
  palette = LETTERS[1:8],
  bw = NULL,
  level = 0.95,
  nx = 50,
  model_family = NULL
)

Arguments

Details

When an x- or y- variables is categorical, jittering is automatically applied.

Using annot = "model" will annotate the data with the graph of a model — shown as confidence intervals/bands — corresponding to the tilde expression. annot = "violin" will annotate with a violin plot.

If you want to use the same explanatory variable for color and faceting (this might have pedagogical purposes) merely repeat the name of the color variable in the faceting position, e.g. mpg ~ hp + cyl + cyl.

Value

A ggplot graphics object

Description

A set of methods to generate random samples from data frames and data simulations. For data frames, individual rows are sampled. For vectors, elements are sampled.

Usage

take_sample(x, n, replace = FALSE, ...)

## Default S3 method:
take_sample(

Description

Write a pipeline to perform some calculation whose result can be coerced into one line of a data frame. Add trials(times=3) to the end of the pipeline in order to repeat the calculation multiple times. Typically, each trial involves some random component, but another (or an additional) capability is to parameterize the pipeline expression by including some unbound variable in it, e.g. lambda. Then call trials(lambda=c(10,20)) to repeat the calculation for each of the elements of the named parameter.

Usage

trials(.ex, times = 1, ...)

Arguments

Details

This is intended as a pipeline friendly replacement for mosaic::do().

Value

a dataframe with one row for each trial. (But see the ... argument.)

Examples

mean(rnorm(10)) |> trials(times=3)
mean(rnorm(lambda)) |> trials(lambda=c(1, 100, 10000))
mean(rnorm(lambda)) |> trials(times=5, lambda=c(1, 100, 10000))
take_sample(mtcars, n=lambda, replace=TRUE) |> select(mpg, hp) |>

Roster of applicants to six major departments at UC Berkeley

Usage

data(UCB_applicants)

Format

A data.frame object with 4236 rows, one for each of the applicants to graduate school at UC Berkeley for the Fall 1973 quarter.

• admit: Whether the applicant was admitted.

• gender: male or female

• dept: The graduate department applied to. Rather than identifying the actual departments involved, the data released by Berkeley used letter codes.

Details

In 1973, officials at the University of California Berkeley noticed disturbing trends in graduate admissions rates. The data, with department names redacted, was presented and interpretted in a famous paper in Science, Bickel et al. 1975. In that paper, summary tables were presented. UCB_applicants was reverse engineered from datasets::UCBAdmissions into a data table where the unit of observation is an individual applicant. The origin of datasets::UCBAdmissions is not clear; those data are not explicitly provided in Bickel et al.
