Module # 10 Building my own R package

 

Creating the Tier List Package in RStudio

1) This is now week ten of this course and I am now starting to see the end. This week I tackle creating my very own package in R. This is a very first for me and I am very excited. Based on the title of this blog you can tell that I plan to create a package that allows users to create a tier list in RStudio. This will all take a lot of work, much more than I can do in a single assignment, so the only goal for this week is to create the  DESCRIPTION file for the package. This tell us everything that the package is about and its purposes. Here it is down below:



Package: Khan Tier
Type: Package
Title:  Creates A Tier List Allowing For Ranking of Observations
Version: 0.0.0.90000
Author: Moeen Khan
Maintainer: The package maintainer <Khan36@usf.edut>
Description: The Khan Tier package provides a simple way to create and customize
    tier lists, which can be used to rank and categorize items based on user-defined
    criteria. This is particularly useful for data visualization, enabling users to
    quickly organize and display ranked information. Comparing their values to one another.
    It includes functions for creating, updating, and visualizing tier lists in R.

2) That is how the file actually looks like right now. If you want to download it for yourself you can here on my GitHub. 

3) As mentioned Before I plan to create a R package that creates a function that allows users to create a Tier list easily. Users should be able to customize the how many Tiers they want on their list, what each tier should be labeled, a simple way to organize data to categorize them into tiers from data frames. Users Should also be able to color each tier and display it in the plot section of RStudio. If I can accomplish that much, I believe that I would be a massive accomplishment.

Module # 13 Shiny Web App

  Creating My Own Package in R via RStudio 1) This week I learn about Shiny, a product from R that allows us to create web applications in R itself. This is a very powerful tool that uses client-server communication, HTML, layout and JavaScript programming to make web applications. This however is not what we will be using today complete our assignment. This week I will be creating my own R package that will be available via my GitHub.  2) I will be creating an R package that will allow users to create their own tier list in RStudio. This will help visualize what variables or objects are more important than others in rank. Users will be able to (hopefully) rank variables or other information in their data to help explain how things are ranked on a arbitrary scale according to the audience in mind. Such as creating a tier list of books based off of how much they sold, their reviews, or what genres are better. It can use objectively to reorganize the audiences focus or used to s...

Module # 7 R Object: S3 vs. S4 assignment

  Objects in R: S3 vs. S4 1) This week we have three steps to complete, as we learn about object oriented programing or OOP. First we need to find a data set. Then see if a generic function can be assigned to said data set. The last step is to see if S3 or S4 objects can be assigned to the data set. Here we go. 2) The data set I have chosen covers electric vehicle population. I chose this one because it was the easiest to obtain besides mtcars. You can find it here for free .  3) To see if a generic function can be assigned to this data set. To do this we need to first understand what a generic function is. A generic function in R, are functions designed to change their behavior based on the class of the input object. Some examples of this are "plot", "mean", "predict", "summary" etc. We are going to try to use "summary" on our data and see if we get back a summary of each column, custom made to that column's data type. Here we go:

Module # 4 Programming Structure

  Hospital Data: Boxplot and Histogram 1) This week I am tasked with completing two major objectives. The first is to create a boxplot with some data I am given and the second is to create a histogram. The boxplot is to be a side by side boxplot, which I will be displaying Blood Pressure and Frequency. I will then create two histograms, one just about frequency and the other about blood pressure and frequency. The data I was given came in a way that I have to go and format it myself in RStudio. Here is what I came up with:
