To bee or …

R without statistics! Don’t be sad! It’s a free book!! Get busy!!!

Various activities in order

start reading R without Statistics
1st chapter is about R Studio interface
download latest version of R, and RStudio from posit.com
New download instructions and list of products are confusing
Finally find old free RStudio
1st chapter is ok, read a csv file and filter/summarise it
Chapter 2 great ‘small multiples’ graph recreation from 2021 Scientific American article. Data not updated to present day, tho.
Try out graph – load data
run the line ‘unique(dm_perc_cat_hubs_raw$MapDate)’ and yes September 2021 is the last date
read Chapter 3 on mapping
Get interested in a gas stations database
Download a file of epa locations
Process it and map the ones that had ‘gasoline station’ in the description
Notice that all the Ralphs supermarkets are represented in the gas station category (they don’t have them)
