Comparing distributions
## use rnorm to simulate random deviates from a normal distribution
## use runif to simulate random deviates from a uniform distribution
## create historgrams using base plot functions
## create density plots using base plot functions
## create histograms using ggplot2
## create desnity plots using ggplot2
Template for comparing census data
library(ggplot2)
library(tidycensus)
library(sf)
library(dplyr)
## load api key here if necessary
## get income data from the census
us_data <- get_acs(geography = "county",
variables = "B19013_001",
geometry = TRUE,
cb = TRUE)
## get state fips as its own variable
us_data$state <- substr(us_data$GEOID, 1, 2)
## filter by state (get two states of your choice)
## create a histogram of each with ggplot2
## create a density plot of both on the same grid, then modify colors,
## transparency, etc.
## create a violin plot
