What Will I Learn?

In this hands-on exercise, I will learn and gain hands-on experience on using:

  • ggstatsplot package to create visual graphics with rich statistical information,

  • performance package to visualise model diagnostics, and

  • parameters package to visualise model parameters.

Getting Started

Loading the R packages

First, write a code chunk to check, install and load the following R packages: ggstatsplot and tidyverse.

pacman::p_load(ggstatsplot, tidyverse)

Importing the data

In this hands-on exercise, Exam_data.csv will be used.

exam <- read_csv("data/Exam_data.csv")

One-sample test: gghistostats() method

In the code chunk below, gghistostats() is used to to build an visual of one-sample test on English scores.

set.seed(1234)

gghistostats(
  data = exam,
  x = ENGLISH,
  type = "bayes",
  test.value = 60,
  xlab = "English scores"
)

Two-sample mean test: ggbetweenstats()

In the code chunk below, ggbetweenstats() is used to build a visual for two-sample mean test of Maths scores by gender.

ggbetweenstats(
  data = exam,
  x = GENDER, 
  y = MATHS,
  type = "np",
  messages = FALSE
)

Oneway ANOVA Test: ggbetweenstats() method

In the code chunk below, ggbetweenstats() is used to build a visual for One-way ANOVA test on English score by race.

ggbetweenstats(
  data = exam,
  x = RACE, 
  y = ENGLISH,
  type = "p",
  mean.ci = TRUE, 
  pairwise.comparisons = TRUE, 
  pairwise.display = "s",
  p.adjust.method = "fdr",
  messages = FALSE
)

Significant Test of Correlation: ggscatterstats()

In the code chunk below, ggscatterstats() is used to build a visual for Significant Test of Correlation between Maths scores and English scores.

ggscatterstats(
  data = exam,
  x = MATHS,
  y = ENGLISH,
  marginal = FALSE,
  )

Significant Test of Association (Depedence) : ggbarstats() methods

In the code chunk below, the Maths scores is binned into a 4-class variable by using cut().

exam1 <- exam %>% 
  mutate(MATHS_bins = 
           cut(MATHS, 
               breaks = c(0,60,75,85,100))
)

In this code chunk below ggbarstats() is used to build a visual for Significant Test of Association.

ggbarstats(exam1, 
           x = MATHS_bins, 
           y = GENDER)

Visualising Models

In this section, I will learn how to visualise model diagnostic and model parameters by using parameters package.

  • Toyota Corolla case study will be used. The purpose of study is to build a model to discover factors affecting prices of used-cars by taking into consideration a set of explanatory variables.

Getting Started

Loading the R packages

First, write a code chunk to check, install and load the following R packages.

pacman::p_load(readxl, performance, parameters, see)

Importing data

In the code chunk below, read_xls() of readxl package is used to import the data worksheet of ToyotaCorolla.xls workbook into R.

car_resale <- read_xls("data/ToyotaCorolla.xls", 
                       "data")
car_resale

Data Visualizing

Multiple Regression Model using lm()

The code chunk below is used to calibrate a multiple linear regression model by using lm() of Base Stats of R.

model <- lm(Price ~ Age_08_04 + Mfg_Year + KM + 
              Weight + Guarantee_Period, data = car_resale)
model

Call:
lm(formula = Price ~ Age_08_04 + Mfg_Year + KM + Weight + Guarantee_Period, 
    data = car_resale)

Coefficients:
     (Intercept)         Age_08_04          Mfg_Year                KM  
      -2.637e+06        -1.409e+01         1.315e+03        -2.323e-02  
          Weight  Guarantee_Period  
       1.903e+01         2.770e+01  

Model Diagnostic: checking for multicolinearity

check_collinearity(model)

model1 <- lm(Price ~ Age_08_04 + KM + 
              Weight + Guarantee_Period, data = car_resale)
check_n <- check_normality(model1)
plot(check_n)

check_h <- check_heteroscedasticity(model1)
plot(check_h)

Model Diagnostic: Complete check

check_model(model1)

Visualising Regression Parameters: see methods

In the code below, plot() of see package and parameters() of parameters package is used to visualise the parameters of a regression model.

plot(parameters(model1))

Visualising Regression Parameters: ggcoefstats() methods

In the code below, ggcoefstats() of ggstatsplot package to visualise the parameters of a regression model.

ggcoefstats(model1, 
            output = "plot")
