Tidy Consultant Universe

Loads the 5 packages in the Tidy Consultant Universe. This collection of packages is useful for anyone doing data science, data analysis, or quantitative consulting. The functions in these packages range from data cleaning, data validation, data binning, statistical modeling, and file exporting.

Create Elegant Data Visualisations Using the Grammar of Graphics

A system for 'declaratively' creating graphics, based on "The Grammar of Graphics". You provide the data, tell 'ggplot2' how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it takes care of the details.

Precision Agriculture Data Analysis

Precision agriculture spatial data depuration and homogeneous zones (management zone) delineation. The package includes functions that performs protocols for data cleaning management zone delineation and zone comparison; protocols are described in Paccioretti et al., (2020) .

Interface to the World Database on Protected Areas

Fetch and clean data from the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and the World Database on Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (WDOECM). Data is obtained from Protected Planet < https://www.protectedplanet.net/en>. To augment data cleaning procedures, users can install the 'prepr' R package (available at < https://github.com/prioritizr/prepr>). For more information on this package, see Hanson (2022) .

R Wrapper for the 'OneMap.Sg API'

An R wrapper for the 'OneMap.Sg' API < https://www.onemap.gov.sg/docs/>. Functions help users query data from the API and return raw JSON data in "tidy" formats. Support is also available for users to retrieve data from multiple API calls and integrate results into single dataframes, without needing to clean and merge the data themselves. This package is best suited for users who would like to perform analyses with Singapore's spatial data without having to perform excessive data cleaning.

'Geocoordinate Validation Service'

The 'Geocoordinate Validation Service' (GVS) runs checks of coordinates in latitude/longitude format. It returns annotated coordinates with additional flags and metadata that can be used in data cleaning. Additionally, the package has functions related to attribution and metadata information. More information can be found at < https://github.com/ojalaquellueva/gvs/tree/master/api>.

Sites, Population, and Records Cleaning Skills

Data cleaning including 1) generating datasets for time-series and case-crossover analyses based on raw hospital records, 2) linking individuals to an areal map, 3) picking out cases living within a buffer of certain size surrounding a site, etc. For more information, please refer to Zhang W,etc. (2018) .

GIS Integration

Designed to facilitate the preprocessing and linking of GIS (Geographic Information System) databases < https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/gis-database>, the R package 'GISINTEGRATION' offers a robust solution for efficiently preparing GIS data for advanced spatial analyses. This package excels in simplifying intrica procedures like data cleaning, normalization, and format conversion, ensuring that the data are optimally primed for precise and thorough analysis.

Economics and Pricing Tools

Functions to aid in micro and macro economic analysis and handling of price and currency data. Includes extraction of relevant inflation and exchange rate data from World Bank API, data cleaning/parsing, and standardisation. Inflation adjustment calculations as found in Principles of Macroeconomics by Gregory Mankiw et al (2014). Current and historical end of day exchange rates for 171 currencies from the European Central Bank Statistical Data Warehouse (2020) < https://sdw.ecb.europa.eu/curConverter.do>.

Tidy Messy Data

Tools to help to create tidy data, where each column is a variable, each row is an observation, and each cell contains a single value. 'tidyr' contains tools for changing the shape (pivoting) and hierarchy (nesting and 'unnesting') of a dataset, turning deeply nested lists into rectangular data frames ('rectangling'), and extracting values out of string columns. It also includes tools for working with missing values (both implicit and explicit).
