Collapsing categories

One of the tablets that participants filled out the sfo_survey on was not properly configured, allowing the response for dest_region to be free text instead of a dropdown menu. This resulted in some inconsistencies in the dest_region variable that you'll need to correct in this exercise to ensure that the numbers you report to your boss are as accurate as possible.

dplyr and forcats are loaded and sfo_survey is available.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to overcome some of the most common dirty data problems. You'll convert data types, apply range constraints to remove future data points, and remove duplicated data points to avoid double-counting.

Exercise 1: Data type constraints Exercise 2: Common data types Exercise 3: Converting data types Exercise 4: Trimming strings Exercise 5: Range constraints Exercise 6: Ride duration constraints Exercise 7: Back to the future Exercise 8: Uniqueness constraints Exercise 9: Full duplicates Exercise 10: Removing partial duplicates Exercise 11: Aggregating partial duplicates

Categorical and text data can often be some of the messiest parts of a dataset due to their unstructured nature. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to fix whitespace and capitalization inconsistencies in category labels, collapse multiple categories into one, and reformat strings for consistency.

Exercise 1: Checking membership Exercise 2: Members only Exercise 3: Not a member Exercise 4: Categorical data problems Exercise 5: Identifying inconsistency Exercise 6: Correcting inconsistency Exercise 7: Collapsing categories

In this chapter, you’ll dive into more advanced data cleaning problems, such as ensuring that weights are all written in kilograms instead of pounds. You’ll also gain invaluable skills that will help you verify that values have been added correctly and that missing values don’t negatively impact your analyses.

Record linkage is a powerful technique used to merge multiple datasets together, used when values have typos or different spellings. In this chapter, you'll learn how to link records by calculating the similarity between strings—you’ll then use your new skills to join two restaurant review datasets into one clean master dataset.

Exercise 1: Comparing strings Exercise 2: Calculating distance Exercise 3: Small distance, small difference Exercise 4: Fixing typos with string distance Exercise 5: Generating and comparing pairs Exercise 6: Link or join?Exercise 7: Pair blocking Exercise 8: Comparing pairs Exercise 9: Scoring and linking Exercise 10: Score then select or select then score?Exercise 11: Putting it together Exercise 12: Congratulations!
