For our first joint blog post we decided to look at this week’s #TidyTuesday dataset. Tidy Tuesday is a weekly data project aimed at the R for Data Science community. Every week a raw dataset is posted so that users can apply their R skills, get feedbak, explore other’s work, and connect with the greater #RStats community.
This week’s data is about Board Games! The data comes from the Board Game Geek database.
Research Proposal For this project I will research the racial differences and disparities in American economics, politics, and culture. I will use statistical analysis to look for correlations in these differences. The independent variable will be race and the dependent variables will be family income, political party, and average amount of TV somebody watches.
The GSS Dataset The dataset is from the General Social Survey (GSS). It is a national survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, to gather data on the complexity of American life.
For this post I decided to walk through the steps of exploratory data analysis using the diamonds dataset that come with base R.
