 <p>While I wish I could sit and type out how I sat and figured out the complexity of the NHL Stats API and how to bring it into R. In reality I took a great guide, that being Jlaws post, and tweaked what I needed. Instead of Canadian players, I pulled out just the US Born players and their birth dates. I did also pull out positions to see if that will make any sort of difference. What pulls out of the NHL API has a ton of great details and I look forward to diving into what is available to see what kind of graphics can be built.</p>
+<p><strong>08/27/2024 Update</strong> Due to the the Coyotes moving to Utah, I had to edit the code slightly to adjust for this. When gathering the active roster data the API was returning a blank response. This was causing Tidyr Hoist to fail because it could not pull the columns from the nested data frame. I added a check to see if the data frame is empty and if it is, then I return an empty data frame and skip this step.</p>

As it appears cutoff dates for USA hockey are different and they are currently using June 1st (if my internet searches are to be believed), I wondered if the same analysis would hold true for American Born Players."

In North Carolina alone, diabetes and prediabetes cost an estimated $10.9 billion each year (American Diabetes Asssociation, 2015). This post introduces the exploration of the Diabetes epidemic in North Carolina. Through a series of posts this project will examine various public data available on diabetes and explore possible solutions to address the rise of diabetes in North Carolina. This investigation stems from the Capstone project of my Health Care Informatics Masters program. This post will answer the following questions:\n\n\nWhat is the overall trend of diabetes prevalence in the United States?\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the trend of diabetes at a State Level and how does diabetes prevalence vary by state and region?\n\n\n\n\nHow do trends in diabetes prevalence vary across counties of North Carolina?\n\n\n\n\nIn which counties of North Carolina does the largest change in diabetes prevalence occur?\n\n\n\n\nHow does change in diabetes prevalence compare between rural and urban counties?\n\n\n\n\nEnviroment\nThis section contains technical information for deeper analysis and reproduction.

These numbers however, are estimates based on the self-reported response to the CDC’s National Health Interview Survey, and do not represent the actual confirmed diagnoses. The CDC estimates that 1 in 5 adults have undiagnosed diabetes, therefore the numbers reported by the NHIS are likely to underestimate the true prevalence (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020).\n\n\nOverall - State Level\nState and County level data on diabetes prevalence are taken from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). These results are based on the question “Has a doctor, nurse, or other health professional ever told you that you have diabetes?”. Women who only experienced diabetes during pregnancy were excluded from the counts. The BRFSS is an ongoing, monthly telephone survey of the non-institutionalized adults (aged 18 years or older) in each state. The year 2011 saw a major change to the methodology of the survey, which started to include homes without a landline phone. This change was expected to increase coverage of lower income, lower educational levels, and younger age groups, because these groups often exclusively rely on cellular telephones for personal communication.(Pierannunzi et al., 2012)\n\n\nCode\ns_g1 &lt;- state_map %&gt;% \n  st_drop_geometry() %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = percentage, color = region)) +\n  geom_line(aes(group = id ),alpha = 0.3,na.rm = TRUE) +\n  geom_smooth(method = \"lm\", se = FALSE) +\n  ggpmisc::stat_poly_eq(formula = y ~ + x ,\n                        aes(label = paste(..eq.label.., ..rr.label.., sep = \"~~~\")), \n                        parse = TRUE) +\n  geom_vline(xintercept = 2011, linetype = \"dashed\", color = \"gray\") +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette    = \"Dark2\"\n                     ,direction = -1\n                     ,labels    = snakecase::to_title_case\n  ) +\n  labs(\n    title    = \"Percentage of Diagnosed Diabetes in Adults (18+) \\nby State and Region\"\n    ,x       = NULL\n    ,y       = NULL\n    ,color   = \"Region\"\n    ,caption = \"Regions from US Census Bureau\"\n  ) \n\ns_g1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe above graph shows diabetes prevalence trends by state, grouped into regions based on the US Census classification regions.

We see that in 2016 there was a large spike in diagnosed cases; unfortunately this is the last available year so it is unclear whether the upward trend continues. The graph below compares state-level average to the national average. Notice that the trend line is slightly higher than in the previous graphs: this is due to the age cut offs used for National and State level data vs County Level data. Previous data used 18 years of age as a cutoff for classifying adults, whereas the county level data uses 20. Due to removing 18- and 19-year-olds from the population, who typically have less diagnosed cases of diabetes than those of older ages, the computed prevalence increases slightly.\n\n\nCode\nd1 &lt;- nc_diabetes_data %&gt;% \n  group_by(year) %&gt;% \n  summarise(\n    pct = mean(percentage)\n    ,us_pct = mean(us_pct)\n  ) %&gt;% \n  pivot_longer(\n    cols       = c(\"pct\", \"us_pct\")\n    ,names_to  = \"metric\"\n    ,values_to = \"values\"\n  ) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    metric = factor(metric\n                    ,levels = c(\"pct\",\"us_pct\")\n                    ,labels = c(\"NC\", \"National\"))\n  )\n\nnc_g1 &lt;- d1 %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = values, color = metric)) +\n  geom_line() +\n  geom_point(shape = 21, size = 3) +\n  geom_vline(xintercept = 2011, linetype = \"dashed\", color = \"gray\") +\n  scale_y_continuous(labels = function(x) paste0(x, \"%\")) +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\") +\n  labs(\n    x      = NULL\n    ,y     = NULL\n    ,color = NULL\n    ,title = \"Percent of Adults (20+) with Diagnosed Diabetes\"\n  )\n\nnc_g1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe see a spike in 2016, the last year for which the data are available. However, we should be careful with our interpretation of this pattern, because the examination of the county-level trajectories reveals an aberration in the trend that requires a more rigorous investigation.\n\n\nCode\nnc_g1a &lt;- nc_diabetes_data %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = percentage)) +\n  geom_line(aes(group = county),alpha = 0.4) +\n  labs(\n    x = NULL\n    ,y = NULL\n    ,color = NULL\n  )\n\nnc_g1a\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile all of North Carolina has a higher prevalence than the national average, rural counties have systematically higher prevalence of diabetes than urban counties. Note that after 2011 both Urban and Rural counties break the upward trend exhibited in the previous 5 years. This could be explained by the addition of cell phones to the BRFS Survey as many rural areas are often lower income areas and may only rely on a cell phone for communication. As mentioned previously there is an odd spike in case in 2016 that can’t be explained by current documentation. For the purpose of this evaluation 2016 will be excluded from the county level data since the odd trend can not be explained and no further data is available to determine if this is a real spike or could be attributed to methodology change or data quality.\n\n\nCode\nd2 &lt;- nc_diabetes_data %&gt;% \n  select(-us_pct) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    pct_rural  = if_else(rural == TRUE, percentage, FALSE)\n    ,pct_urban = if_else(rural == FALSE, percentage, FALSE)\n  ) %&gt;% \n  select(-countyfips,-percentage) %&gt;% \n  group_by(year) %&gt;% \n  summarise(\n    pct_rural = mean(pct_rural,na.rm = TRUE)\n    ,pct_urban = mean(pct_urban,na.rm = TRUE)\n  ) %&gt;% left_join(us_diabetes_data) %&gt;% \n  pivot_longer(\n    cols       = c(\"us_pct\", \"pct_rural\",\"pct_urban\")\n    ,names_to  = \"metric\"\n    ,values_to = \"value\"\n    ,values_drop_na = TRUE\n  ) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    metric = factor(metric,\n                    levels  = c(\"pct_rural\",\"pct_urban\",\"us_pct\")\n                    ,labels = c(\"Rural\",\"Urban\",\"US\")\n    )\n  )\n\nnc_g2 &lt;- d2 %&gt;% ggplot(aes(x = year, y = value, color = metric)) +\n  geom_line() +\n  geom_point(shape = 21, size = 3) +\n  geom_vline(xintercept = 2011, linetype = \"dashed\", color = \"gray\") +\n  scale_y_continuous(labels = function(x) paste0(x, \"%\")) +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\") +\n  labs(\n    x      = NULL\n    ,y     = NULL\n    ,color = NULL\n    ,title = \"Percent of Adults (20+) with Diagnosed Diabetes \\nDisplaying Rural vs Urban\"\n  )\n\nnc_g2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy County - Geographical\nCounty level data first became available in 2004, three years of data is used to arrive at these estimates. For example, the 2006 estimates were computed using the data from 2005, 2006, and 2007 BRFS survey rounds. The county-level estimates were based on indirect model-dependent estimates using Bayesian multilevel modeling techniques(JNK, 2003 ; Barker et al., 2013). This model-dependent approach employs a statistical model that “borrows strength” in making an estimate for one county from BRFSS data collected in other counties and states. Multilevel Binomial regression models with random effects of demographic variables (age 20-44, 45-64, &gt;=65; race/ethnicity; sex) at the county-level were developed. Estimates were adjusted for age to the 2000 US standard population using age groups of 20-44, 45-64, and 65 or older(Klein & Schoenborn, 2001).\n\n\nCode\ng50 &lt;- nc_diabetes_data %&gt;% \n  filter(year &lt; 2015) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    rural = factor(rural\n                   ,levels = c(TRUE,FALSE)\n                   ,labels = c(\"Rural\", \"Urban\")\n    )\n  ) %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = percentage, color = rural)) +\n  geom_line(aes(group = county),alpha = 0.3) +\n  geom_smooth(aes(group = rural), method = \"loess\", se= FALSE, size = 1.1) +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\") +\n  labs(\n    title = \"Percent of Adults (20+) with Diagnosed Diabetes \\nAll North Carolina Counties\"\n    ,x = NULL\n    ,y = NULL\n    ,color = NULL\n  )\n\ng50\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen viewing all county trend lines together, we see that the loess line for both urban and rural follows a similar trend for the time period.\nThe following graphs displays the total estimated prevalence of Diabetes in each off the 100 North Carolina counties. To keep the scaling consistent between the graphs, we binned the estimates into 6 intervals of the same size. Rural counties are highlighted with a stronger border line as well as a letter “R” in respective geographic centers. These graphs allow us to view geographical clusters of diabetes prevalence.\n\n\nCode\nnc_counties_map_binned &lt;- nc_counties_map %&gt;% \n  filter(year &lt; 2015) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    bin = dlookr::binning(.$percentage, nbins = 6 ,type = \"equal\")\n    ,bin = forcats::fct_recode(bin\n                               ,\"6.5   - 7.9\"  =  \"[6.5,7.97]\"\n                               ,\"8.0  - 9.4\" =  \"(7.97,9.43]\" \n                               ,\"9.5  - 10.9\" =  \"(9.43,10.9]\" \n                               ,\"11.0 - 12.4\" =  \"(10.9,12.4]\"\n                               ,\"12.5 - 13.8\" =  \"(12.4,13.8]\"  \n                               ,\"13.9 - 15.3\" =  \"(13.8,15.3]\"\n    )\n  )\n\nc_g1 &lt;- nc_counties_map_binned %&gt;% \n  filter(year %in% c(2006,2014)) %&gt;% \n  ggplot() +\n  geom_sf() + #blank geom_sf keeps gridlines from overlapping map\n  geom_sf(aes(fill = bin,color = rural)) +\n  geom_sf(data = nc_cities) +\n  ggrepel::geom_text_repel(data = nc_cities, \n                           aes(x = long, y = lat, label = city)\n                           ,nudge_y = c(-1,1,1,-1,1)\n                           ,nudge_x = c(0,0,0,-1,0)\n  ) +\n  geom_text(data = . %&gt;% filter(rural == TRUE)\n            ,aes(x = center_long, y = center_lat)\n            ,label = \"R\"\n            ,color = \"#696969\"\n  ) +\n  coord_sf(xlim = c(-84.5,-75.5), ylim = c(33.75,37)) +\n  facet_wrap(~year) +\n  scale_fill_viridis_d(alpha = 0.6, direction = -1) +\n  scale_color_manual(\n    values = c(\n      \"FALSE\" = \"gray\"\n      ,\"TRUE\" = \"black\"\n    ),guide = 'none') +\n  labs(\n    title = \"Estimated Diabetes in Adults (20+) by County\"\n    ,fill = \"Percentage\"\n    ,y    = NULL\n    ,x    = NULL\n  ) +\n  theme(\n    panel.background = element_rect(fill = \"aliceblue\")\n    ,panel.grid.major = element_line(color = \"#D4D4D4\", linetype = \"dashed\", \n                                     size = 0.5)\n    ,legend.position = \"bottom\"\n    ,plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)\n  )\n\nc_g1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe following box plot displays the distribution of estimated cases by county from 2006 to 2014.

Through out this post it has been shown that this hypothesis is incorrect, just being a rural county does not indicate diabetes growth, in fact the growth rate throughout North Carolina has been consistent. Further posts will explore other reasons for these trends, as the current post merely explores the trends and differences using data visualizations, a more rigorous and formal evaluation of these comparison is in order.\n\n\nSession information\n===========================================================================\nFor the sake of documentation and reproducibility, the current report was rendered in the following environment.

The graph in question is called a Table Lens (This is the name the book uses, however I did have trouble finding this name in Google searches), it is a collection of charts with a common theme, this time looking at countries in various WHO regions and some statistics associated with mortality as well as health expenditure. I say this is a lesson in humiltiy as I have read through the excellent book R for Data Science, and yet the idea of faceting a ggplot graph slipped my mind. This ended with hours of trying to find a package in R to line up graphs, and way more time then I care to admit spent on getting things prefect. I did find such a package called cowplots, which can be found here. While this is an excellent package, its use was unecessary and I reverted back to using the excellent facet feature of GGplot, which can be seen below! \n\nLoad Libraries\n\nlibrary(magrittr) #pipes\nlibrary(ggplot2) #ploting \nlibrary(dplyr)\nlibrary(tidyr)\n\n\n\nImport Data\n\nds &lt;- readxl::read_xlsx(path = \"../2020-01-04_my-start-to-r/Tableau 10 Training Practice Data.xlsx\"\n                        ,sheet = \"03 - WHO Life Expect & Mort\"\n                        )\n\n\n\nClean Names and Transform\n\nvarnames &lt;-  c(\"who_region\", \"country\", \"year\" , \"sex\" , \"life_expect_birth\" , \"neo_mort\"\n               ,\"under_five_mort\" , \"health_expenditure\")\nnames(ds) &lt;- varnames\n\n# Order Countries based on Life Expectancy at Birth\n\nds$country &lt;- factor(ds$country, levels = ds$country[order(ds$life_expect_birth)]) \n\n#To \"Long\" Form\n\nds1 &lt;-  ds %&gt;% pivot_longer(5:8)#select columns 5 throuh 8, leave new columns at default names\n\n# Set up labels for Facet, as well as function for Facet Labeller\n\nfacet_labels &lt;-  list(\n\"life_expect_birth\"   = \"Life Expectancy at Birth \"                            \n,\"neo_mort\"           = \"Neonatal Mortality Rate\"             \n,\"under_five_mort\"    = \"Under-Five Mortality Rate\"\n,\"health_expenditure\" = \"Health Expenditure per Capita (US$)\"  )\n\nvariable_labeller &lt;- function(variable,value){\n  return(facet_labels[value])\n}\n\n\n\nGraphs\n\nhightlight_countries &lt;- (c(\"Mauritania\", \"South Africa\")) \n\ng1 &lt;-  ds1 %&gt;% filter(who_region == \"Africa\") %&gt;% \n  mutate(name = factor(name, levels = c(\"life_expect_birth\" , \"neo_mort\"\n               ,\"under_five_mort\" , \"health_expenditure\"))\n         ,highlight = country %in% hightlight_countries) %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = country, y = value, fill = highlight)) +\n  geom_col(show.legend = FALSE) +\n  coord_flip() +\n  labs(\n    title = \"World Bank Life Expectancy, Neonatal & Under-Five Mortality Rates, and Health Expenditure Analysis\"\n    ,x  = NULL\n    ,y = NULL\n  ) +\n  facet_grid(~name, scales = \"free_x\",labeller = variable_labeller) +\n  theme_bw() +\n  geom_text(aes(label = round(value, 0)), hjust = 0) +\n  scale_y_continuous(expand = expand_scale(mult = c(0,0.2))) +\n  scale_fill_manual(values = c(\"TRUE\" = \"#fc8d59\", \"FALSE\" = \"#2b83ba\"))\ng1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReuseCC BY 4.0CitationBibTeX citation:@online{belanger2020,\n  author = {Belanger, Kyle},\n  title = {Facets and a {Lesson} in {Humility}},\n  date = {2020-01-29},\n  langid = {en}\n}\nFor attribution, please cite this work as:\nBelanger, Kyle. 2020. “Facets and a Lesson in Humility.”\nJanuary 29, 2020."

For this particular data set there are a couple things we need to add to replicate the example. In the original data set the date is stored with month, day, and year; the day is irrelevant and we need to pull out the month as well as the year. For this we can use the lubridate package, first we pull out the month and set it as a factor. For this example our year actually starts in October, so we set our factor to start at October (10), and end with September (9). We then pull out the year, which presents us with a different problem. Again our year starts in October, instead of January. To solve this I have created a variable called date adjustment, in this column is our month is 10 or greater, we will place a 1, if not a 0. We then set our fiscal year to be the actual year plus the date adjustment, this allows us to have our dates in the right fiscal year. Last the percent column is currently listed as a decimal, so we will convert this to a percentage.\n\n# split date time\nds1 &lt;- ds %&gt;% mutate(\n        #create month column, then set factors and labels to start fiscal year in Oct\n        month = month(ds$date)\n        ,month = factor(month\n                        ,levels = c(10:12, 1:9)\n                        ,labels = c(month.abb[10:12],month.abb[1:9]))\n       ,year = year(ds$date)\n        ,date_adjustment = ifelse(month(ds$date) &gt;= 10, 1,0 )\n        ,fiscal_year = factor(year + date_adjustment)\n        #convert % Pos from decmial to pct\n        ,pct_tests_pos_for_influenza = round(pct_tests_pos_for_influenza * 100, digits = 0)\n        )\n\nds1 %&gt;% glimpse()\n\nRows: 48\nColumns: 8\n$ date                                     &lt;dttm&gt; 2012-10-27, 2012-11-24, 2012…\n$ tests_pos_for_influenza_count            &lt;dbl&gt; 995, 3228, 22368, 24615, 1179…\n$ total_respiratory_specimens_tested_count &lt;dbl&gt; 18986, 24757, 66683, 75614, 5…\n$ pct_tests_pos_for_influenza              &lt;dbl&gt; 5, 13, 34, 33, 23, 17, 11, 6,…\n$ month                                    &lt;fct&gt; Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar,…\n$ year                                     &lt;dbl&gt; 2012, 2012, 2012, 2013, 2013,…\n$ date_adjustment                          &lt;dbl&gt; 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,…\n$ fiscal_year                              &lt;fct&gt; 2013, 2013, 2013, 2013, 2013,…"

This is the data from Excel. \n\n\nCheck Data\nFirst we will read the file in using the package readxl and view the data without doing anything special to it.\n\nlibrary(readxl)                  # load the readxl library\nlibrary(tidyverse)               # load the tidyverse for manipulating the data\nfile_path &lt;- \"example_data.xlsx\" # set the file path\nds0 &lt;- read_excel(file_path)     # read the file\nds0\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 7\n  Name   `Test 1` ...3  ...4  `Test 2` ...6  ...7 \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt;    &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;    &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;\n1 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 1    Run 2 Run 3 Run 1    Run 2 Run 3\n2 Max    22       23    24    25       26    27   \n3 Phoebe 34       34    32    34       51    12   \n4 Scamp  35       36    21    22       23    24   \n5 Chance 1234     1235  1236  1267     173   1233 \n6 Aimee  420      123   690   42       45    12   \n7 Kyle   22       23    25    26       67    54   \n\n\n\n\nNew Header Names\n\nStep 1\nFirst lets read back the data, this time however with some options. We will set the n_max equal to 2, to only read the first two rows, and set col_names to FALSE so we do not read the first row as headers.\n\nds1 &lt;- read_excel(file_path, n_max = 2, col_names = FALSE)\nds1\n\n# A tibble: 2 × 7\n  ...1  ...2   ...3  ...4  ...5   ...6  ...7 \n  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;\n1 Name  Test 1 &lt;NA&gt;  &lt;NA&gt;  Test 2 &lt;NA&gt;  &lt;NA&gt; \n2 &lt;NA&gt;  Run 1  Run 2 Run 3 Run 1  Run 2 Run 3\n\n\n\n\nStep 2\nNow that we have our headers lets first transpose them to a vertical matrix using the base function t(), then we will turn it back into a tibble to allow us to use tidyr fill function.\n\nnames &lt;- ds1 %&gt;%\n  t() %&gt;%       #transpose to a matrix\n  as_tibble()   #back to tibble\nnames\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 2\n  V1     V2   \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt;\n1 Name   &lt;NA&gt; \n2 Test 1 Run 1\n3 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 2\n4 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 3\n5 Test 2 Run 1\n6 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 2\n7 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 3\n\n\nNote that tidyr fill can not work row wise, thus the need to flip the tibble so it is long vs wide.\n\n\nStep 3\nNow we use tidyr fill function to fill the NA’s with whatever value it finds above.\n\nnames &lt;- names %&gt;% fill(V1)  #use dplyr fill to fill in the NA's\nnames\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 2\n  V1     V2   \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt;\n1 Name   &lt;NA&gt; \n2 Test 1 Run 1\n3 Test 1 Run 2\n4 Test 1 Run 3\n5 Test 2 Run 1\n6 Test 2 Run 2\n7 Test 2 Run 3\n\n\n\n\nStep 4\nThis is where my data differed from many of the examples I could find online. Because the second row is also a header we can not just get rid of them. We can solve this using paste() combined with dplyr mutate to form a new column that combines the first and second column.\n\nnames &lt;- names %&gt;%\n  mutate(\n    new_names = paste(V1,V2, sep = \"_\")\n  )\nnames\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 3\n  V1     V2    new_names   \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;       \n1 Name   &lt;NA&gt;  Name_NA     \n2 Test 1 Run 1 Test 1_Run 1\n3 Test 1 Run 2 Test 1_Run 2\n4 Test 1 Run 3 Test 1_Run 3\n5 Test 2 Run 1 Test 2_Run 1\n6 Test 2 Run 2 Test 2_Run 2\n7 Test 2 Run 3 Test 2_Run 3\n\n\n\n\nStep 4a\nOne more small clean up task, in the example data the first column header Name, did not have a second label, this has created a name with an NA attached. We can use stringr to remove this NA.\n\nnames &lt;- names %&gt;% mutate(across(new_names, ~str_remove_all(.,\"_NA\")))\nnames\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 3\n  V1     V2    new_names   \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;       \n1 Name   &lt;NA&gt;  Name        \n2 Test 1 Run 1 Test 1_Run 1\n3 Test 1 Run 2 Test 1_Run 2\n4 Test 1 Run 3 Test 1_Run 3\n5 Test 2 Run 1 Test 2_Run 1\n6 Test 2 Run 2 Test 2_Run 2\n7 Test 2 Run 3 Test 2_Run 3\n\n\n\n\nStep 5\nNow that are new name column is the way we want it, we can use dpylrs pull to return a vector of just that column\n\nnames &lt;-  names %&gt;% pull(new_names)\n\n\n\n\nFinal Data\nNow that we have a vector of column names lets read in the original file using our new names. We set the skip argument to 2, to skip the first two rows, and set col_names equal to our vector of names. Note the last step I used the janitor package to provide names in snake case (the default for the clean names function.)\n\nexample_data &lt;- readxl::read_excel(file_path, col_names = names, skip = 2) %&gt;%\n  janitor::clean_names()\nexample_data\n\n# A tibble: 6 × 7\n  name   test_1_run_1 test_1_run_2 test_1_run_3 test_2_run_1 test_2_run_2\n  &lt;chr&gt;         &lt;dbl&gt;        &lt;dbl&gt;        &lt;dbl&gt;        &lt;dbl&gt;        &lt;dbl&gt;\n1 Max              22           23           24           25           26\n2 Phoebe           34           34           32           34           51\n3 Scamp            35           36           21           22           23\n4 Chance         1234         1235         1236         1267          173\n5 Aimee           420          123          690           42           45\n6 Kyle             22           23           25           26           67\n# ℹ 1 more variable: test_2_run_3 &lt;dbl&gt;\n\n\n\n\nOther Help\nWhile searching for some solutions to my problem I found two good examples, however neither did exactly what I was trying to do.\n\nThis post by Lisa Deburine is pretty close to what I was trying to accomplish and gave me a good starting point. Read it here\nThis post by Alison Hill solves a simlar but slightly different problem. In her data the 2nd row is actually metadata not a second set of headers.

I stumbled upon (TidyTuesday)[https://github.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday] a weekly project where untidy data is posted from various sources, for the goal of practicing cleaning and visualizing. There is not right or wrong answers for TidyTuesday, this was exactly what I was looking for! This week (well by the time this was posted, a few weeks ago) the data set was about Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Within the posted data there were a few different data sets, I chose to work with the set dealing with High school Graduation rates, throughout this post I will explain my steps for cleaning and then present a few different graphs. It should also be noted that in the first section my code blocks will build upon themselves, so the same code will be duplicated as I add more steps to it.\n\n\nLoad Data\nIn this first block we will load some required libraries as well as load in the raw data. This dataset contains data for Highschool graduation rates by race. One thing to point out here is the use of import::from(), will its use here is a bit overkill, it was more for my practice. In this case I am importing the function %nin from the Hmisc package, which in the opposite of the function %in% from base R.\n\nlibrary(dplyr)\nlibrary(ggplot2)\n\nimport::from(Hmisc, `%nin%`)\n\nhs_students_raw &lt;- readxl::read_xlsx(\"104.10.xlsx\", sheet = 1)\n\nglimpse(hs_students_raw)\n\nRows: 48\nColumns: 19\n$ Total                                                             &lt;dbl&gt; 1910…\n$ `Total, percent of all persons age 25 and over`                   &lt;dbl&gt; 13.5…\n$ `Standard Errors - Total, percent of all persons age 25 and over` &lt;chr&gt; \"(—)…\n$ White1                                                            &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - White1`                                        &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ Black1                                                            &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Black1`                                        &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ Hispanic                                                          &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Hispanic`                                      &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `Total - Asian/Pacific Islander`                                  &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Total - Asian/Pacific Islander`                &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `Asian/Pacific Islander - Asian`                                  &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Asian/Pacific Islander - Asian`                &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `Asian/Pacific Islander - Pacific Islander`                       &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Asian/Pacific Islander - Pacific Islander`     &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `American Indian/\\r\\nAlaska Native`                               &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - American Indian/\\r\\nAlaska Native`             &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `Two or more race`                                                &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Two or more race`                              &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n\n\nNow we are going to start cleaning the data. First I am going to filter for years 1985 and up, prior to this year the data set is a bit spardic, so to keep it clean I am only going to look at 1985 and up. There are also 3 odd years (19103,19203,19303) that I am not sure what those are so I will remove that data as well.\n\nhs_students &lt;- hs_students_raw %&gt;% \n  filter(Total &gt;= 1985) %&gt;% \n  filter(Total %nin% c(19103, 19203, 19303))\n\nNext I am going to convert all columns to be numeric, because of some blanks in the original import all of the columns read in as characters instead of numeric.\n\nhs_students &lt;- hs_students_raw %&gt;% \n  filter(Total &gt;= 1985) %&gt;% \n  filter(Total %nin% c(19103, 19203, 19303)) %&gt;% \n  mutate(across(everything(), as.numeric))\n\nNext I am going to rename the columns. First I rename the column Total, into year, as this column holds the year! Then I use stringr::str_remove_all to remove the long phrase ‘percent of all persons age 25 and over’, as well as the number 1. For some reason the Black and White columns each have a number 1 at the end, I think this is for some sort of footnote but we will just remove it.\n\nhs_students &lt;- hs_students_raw %&gt;% \n  filter(Total &gt;= 1985) %&gt;% \n  filter(Total %nin% c(19103, 19203, 19303)) %&gt;% \n  mutate(across(everything(), as.numeric)) %&gt;% \n  rename(year = Total) %&gt;% \n  rename_with(\n    ~stringr::str_remove_all(\n      .\n      ,\", percent of all persons age 25 and over|1\"\n      )\n    )\n\nThen I am going to drop the column ‘Total - Asian/Pacific Islander’, each of these races is stored in a seperate column so if I needed the total later for some reason I could calculate it. I am also going to drop the string “Asian/Pacific Islander -”, from the begin of each of those columns, so they will now tell me just which race each column refers too.\n\nhs_students &lt;- hs_students_raw %&gt;% \n  filter(Total &gt;= 1985) %&gt;% \n  filter(Total %nin% c(19103, 19203, 19303)) %&gt;% \n  mutate(across(everything(), as.numeric)) %&gt;% \n  rename(year = Total) %&gt;% \n  rename_with(\n    ~stringr::str_remove_all(\n      .\n      ,\", percent of all persons age 25 and over|1\"\n      )\n    ) %&gt;% \n  select(-contains(\"Total - Asian/Pacific Islander\")) %&gt;% \n  rename_with(\n    ~stringr::str_remove_all(\n      .\n      ,\"Asian/Pacific Islander - \"\n    )\n  )\n\nI now simply pivot the data longer. A nice trick I learned since I want to pivot everything expect the year column is to use the minus sign to select every column expect the year column in the pivot.\n\nhs_students_long &lt;- hs_students %&gt;% \n  tidyr::pivot_longer(-year)\n\nWith the data now in long form I am going to separate the automatically generate name column into two columns titled, stat and race. The data contains both the percent that graduated and the standard error. Then I replace all the NA’s in the stat column with Total, as these are the total percentage and the other rows will be the standard error. Last I dropped the s from standard errors to make it singular.\n\nhs_students_long &lt;- hs_students %&gt;% \n  tidyr::pivot_longer(-year) %&gt;% \n  tidyr::separate(name, c(\"stat\", \"race\"), sep = \"- \", fill = \"left\") %&gt;% \n  tidyr::replace_na(list(stat = \"Total\")) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    across(\n      stat\n      ,~stringr::str_replace(\n        .\n        ,\"Standard Errors\"\n        ,\"Standard Error\"\n      )\n    )\n  )\n\nI know pivot the date back to wide form, and use the Janitor package to clean the column names. This puts them in lowercase with _ for spaces.\n\nhs_students_wide &lt;- hs_students_long %&gt;% \n  tidyr::pivot_wider(names_from = stat, values_from = value) %&gt;% \n  janitor::clean_names()\n\nTo make graphing a bit easier with the scales package, I divide both columns by 100. We will see why in the graphs.\n\nhs_students_wide &lt;- hs_students_long %&gt;% \n  tidyr::pivot_wider(names_from = stat, values_from = value) %&gt;% \n  janitor::clean_names() %&gt;% \n  mutate(across(total:standard_error, ~.x/100))\n\nIt’s now time to graph. Notice the use scales::label_percent() as the labels value for the y axis. If the numbers were left as the default values (75 vs 0.75) the percentages would have been 750%, which is obviously very wrong! I also use geom_ribbon to draw the standard error bars around each line. Notice the use of color = NA, by default the ribbon has outlines, I did not like this so doing color = NA turns them off. (It should be noted there are a few other solutions to turning them off but this seemed the easiest to me). Last we see the use of the aesthetics argument in scale_color_brewer. By setting this we match the color and fill to be the same color, without setting this, the colors of the error bars and lines don’t match!\n\nhs_students_wide &lt;- hs_students_wide %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    ymax  = total - standard_error\n    ,ymin = total + standard_error\n  )\n\ng1 &lt;- hs_students_wide %&gt;% \n  filter(race != \"Total\") %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = total, group = race, color = race)) +\n  geom_ribbon(aes(ymax = ymax, ymin = ymin, fill = race), alpha = 0.3, color = NA) +\n  geom_line() +\n  scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(1985,2016,3)) +\n  scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::label_percent()) +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\", aesthetics = c(\"color\", \"fill\")) +\n  theme_bw() +\n  labs(\n    x      = NULL\n    ,y     = NULL\n    ,title = glue::glue(\"Percentage of High School Graduates by Race\"\n                        ,\"\\n\"\n                        ,\"1985 - 2016\")\n    ,color = \"Race\" \n    ,fill  = \"Race\"\n  ) +\n  theme(\n    plot.title    = element_text(hjust = 0.5)\n    ,legend.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)\n  )\n  \ng1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLoad Male/Female Data\nNow the file also contains the same information but split by male and female.

The significance of this study lies in the increasing healthcare costs, where laboratory services contribute significantly to medical decisions and budgets.

However, the model had limitations in terms of sensitivity, with a false negative rate of 16% for elevated TSH results and 20% for decreased TSH results. The model achieved a specificity of 89% but did not meet the threshold for clinical deployment. The importance of individual analytes was explored, revealing unexpected correlations between TSH and hematology results, which could be valuable for future algorithms.

I stumbled upon (TidyTuesday)[https://github.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday] a weekly project where untidy data is posted from various sources, for the goal of practicing cleaning and visualizing. There is not right or wrong answers for TidyTuesday, this was exactly what I was looking for! This week (well by the time this was posted, a few weeks ago) the data set was about Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Within the posted data there were a few different data sets, I chose to work with the set dealing with High school Graduation rates, throughout this post I will explain my steps for cleaning and then present a few different graphs. It should also be noted that in the first section my code blocks will build upon themselves, so the same code will be duplicated as I add more steps to it.\n\n\nLoad Data\nIn this first block we will load some required libraries as well as load in the raw data. This dataset contains data for Highschool graduation rates by race. One thing to point out here is the use of import::from(), will its use here is a bit overkill, it was more for my practice. In this case I am importing the function %nin from the Hmisc package, which in the opposite of the function %in% from base R.\n\nlibrary(dplyr)\nlibrary(ggplot2)\n\nimport::from(Hmisc, `%nin%`)\n\nhs_students_raw &lt;- readxl::read_xlsx(\"104.10.xlsx\", sheet = 1)\n\nglimpse(hs_students_raw)\n\nRows: 48\nColumns: 19\n$ Total                                                             &lt;dbl&gt; 1910…\n$ `Total, percent of all persons age 25 and over`                   &lt;dbl&gt; 13.5…\n$ `Standard Errors - Total, percent of all persons age 25 and over` &lt;chr&gt; \"(—)…\n$ White1                                                            &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - White1`                                        &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ Black1                                                            &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Black1`                                        &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ Hispanic                                                          &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Hispanic`                                      &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `Total - Asian/Pacific Islander`                                  &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Total - Asian/Pacific Islander`                &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `Asian/Pacific Islander - Asian`                                  &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Asian/Pacific Islander - Asian`                &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `Asian/Pacific Islander - Pacific Islander`                       &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Asian/Pacific Islander - Pacific Islander`     &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `American Indian/\\r\\nAlaska Native`                               &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - American Indian/\\r\\nAlaska Native`             &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n$ `Two or more race`                                                &lt;chr&gt; \"—\",…\n$ `Standard Errors - Two or more race`                              &lt;chr&gt; \"(†)…\n\n\nNow we are going to start cleaning the data. First I am going to filter for years 1985 and up, prior to this year the data set is a bit spardic, so to keep it clean I am only going to look at 1985 and up. There are also 3 odd years (19103,19203,19303) that I am not sure what those are so I will remove that data as well.\n\nhs_students &lt;- hs_students_raw %&gt;% \n  filter(Total &gt;= 1985) %&gt;% \n  filter(Total %nin% c(19103, 19203, 19303))\n\nNext I am going to convert all columns to be numeric, because of some blanks in the original import all of the columns read in as characters instead of numeric.\n\nhs_students &lt;- hs_students_raw %&gt;% \n  filter(Total &gt;= 1985) %&gt;% \n  filter(Total %nin% c(19103, 19203, 19303)) %&gt;% \n  mutate(across(everything(), as.numeric))\n\nNext I am going to rename the columns. First I rename the column Total, into year, as this column holds the year! Then I use stringr::str_remove_all to remove the long phrase ‘percent of all persons age 25 and over’, as well as the number 1. For some reason the Black and White columns each have a number 1 at the end, I think this is for some sort of footnote but we will just remove it.\n\nhs_students &lt;- hs_students_raw %&gt;% \n  filter(Total &gt;= 1985) %&gt;% \n  filter(Total %nin% c(19103, 19203, 19303)) %&gt;% \n  mutate(across(everything(), as.numeric)) %&gt;% \n  rename(year = Total) %&gt;% \n  rename_with(\n    ~stringr::str_remove_all(\n      .\n      ,\", percent of all persons age 25 and over|1\"\n      )\n    )\n\nThen I am going to drop the column ‘Total - Asian/Pacific Islander’, each of these races is stored in a seperate column so if I needed the total later for some reason I could calculate it. I am also going to drop the string “Asian/Pacific Islander -”, from the begin of each of those columns, so they will now tell me just which race each column refers too.\n\nhs_students &lt;- hs_students_raw %&gt;% \n  filter(Total &gt;= 1985) %&gt;% \n  filter(Total %nin% c(19103, 19203, 19303)) %&gt;% \n  mutate(across(everything(), as.numeric)) %&gt;% \n  rename(year = Total) %&gt;% \n  rename_with(\n    ~stringr::str_remove_all(\n      .\n      ,\", percent of all persons age 25 and over|1\"\n      )\n    ) %&gt;% \n  select(-contains(\"Total - Asian/Pacific Islander\")) %&gt;% \n  rename_with(\n    ~stringr::str_remove_all(\n      .\n      ,\"Asian/Pacific Islander - \"\n    )\n  )\n\nI now simply pivot the data longer. A nice trick I learned since I want to pivot everything expect the year column is to use the minus sign to select every column expect the year column in the pivot.\n\nhs_students_long &lt;- hs_students %&gt;% \n  tidyr::pivot_longer(-year)\n\nWith the data now in long form I am going to separate the automatically generate name column into two columns titled, stat and race. The data contains both the percent that graduated and the standard error. Then I replace all the NA’s in the stat column with Total, as these are the total percentage and the other rows will be the standard error. Last I dropped the s from standard errors to make it singular.\n\nhs_students_long &lt;- hs_students %&gt;% \n  tidyr::pivot_longer(-year) %&gt;% \n  tidyr::separate(name, c(\"stat\", \"race\"), sep = \"- \", fill = \"left\") %&gt;% \n  tidyr::replace_na(list(stat = \"Total\")) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    across(\n      stat\n      ,~stringr::str_replace(\n        .\n        ,\"Standard Errors\"\n        ,\"Standard Error\"\n      )\n    )\n  )\n\nI know pivot the date back to wide form, and use the Janitor package to clean the column names. This puts them in lowercase with _ for spaces.\n\nhs_students_wide &lt;- hs_students_long %&gt;% \n  tidyr::pivot_wider(names_from = stat, values_from = value) %&gt;% \n  janitor::clean_names()\n\nTo make graphing a bit easier with the scales package, I divide both columns by 100. We will see why in the graphs.\n\nhs_students_wide &lt;- hs_students_long %&gt;% \n  tidyr::pivot_wider(names_from = stat, values_from = value) %&gt;% \n  janitor::clean_names() %&gt;% \n  mutate(across(total:standard_error, ~.x/100))\n\nIt’s now time to graph. Notice the use scales::label_percent() as the labels value for the y axis. If the numbers were left as the default values (75 vs 0.75) the percentages would have been 750%, which is obviously very wrong! I also use geom_ribbon to draw the standard error bars around each line. Notice the use of color = NA, by default the ribbon has outlines, I did not like this so doing color = NA turns them off. (It should be noted there are a few other solutions to turning them off but this seemed the easiest to me). Last we see the use of the aesthetics argument in scale_color_brewer. By setting this we match the color and fill to be the same color, without setting this, the colors of the error bars and lines don’t match!\n\nhs_students_wide &lt;- hs_students_wide %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    ymax  = total - standard_error\n    ,ymin = total + standard_error\n  )\n\ng1 &lt;- hs_students_wide %&gt;% \n  filter(race != \"Total\") %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = total, group = race, color = race)) +\n  geom_ribbon(aes(ymax = ymax, ymin = ymin, fill = race), alpha = 0.3, color = NA) +\n  geom_line() +\n  scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(1985,2016,3)) +\n  scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::label_percent()) +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\", aesthetics = c(\"color\", \"fill\")) +\n  theme_bw() +\n  labs(\n    x      = NULL\n    ,y     = NULL\n    ,title = glue::glue(\"Percentage of High School Graduates by Race\"\n                        ,\"\\n\"\n                        ,\"1985 - 2016\")\n    ,color = \"Race\" \n    ,fill  = \"Race\"\n  ) +\n  theme(\n    plot.title    = element_text(hjust = 0.5)\n    ,legend.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)\n  )\n  \ng1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLoad Male/Female Data\nNow the file also contains the same information but split by male and female.

Our graphs clearly show a divide in graduation rates by race, however Sex does not seem to have much of an effect on graduation rates.\n\n\n\n\nReuseCC BY 4.0CitationBibTeX citation:@online{belanger2021,\n  author = {Belanger, Kyle},\n  title = {TidyTuesday 2021 {Week} 6: {HBCU} {Enrollment}},\n  date = {2021-02-26},\n  langid = {en}\n}\nFor attribution, please cite this work as:\nBelanger, Kyle. 2021. “TidyTuesday 2021 Week 6: HBCU\nEnrollment.” February 26, 2021."

+    "text": "Problem\nRecently I tried to important some Microsoft Excel data into R, and ran into an issue were the data actually had two different header rows. The top row listed a group, and then the second row listed a category within that group. Searching goggle I couldn’t really find a good example of what I was looking for, so I am putting it here in hopes of helping someone else!\n\n\nExample Data\nI have created a small Excel file to demonstrate what I am talking about. Download it here. This is the data from Excel. \n\n\nCheck Data\nFirst we will read the file in using the package readxl and view the data without doing anything special to it.\n\nlibrary(readxl)                  # load the readxl library\nlibrary(tidyverse)               # load the tidyverse for manipulating the data\nfile_path &lt;- \"example_data.xlsx\" # set the file path\nds0 &lt;- read_excel(file_path)     # read the file\nds0\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 7\n  Name   `Test 1` ...3  ...4  `Test 2` ...6  ...7 \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt;    &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;    &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;\n1 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 1    Run 2 Run 3 Run 1    Run 2 Run 3\n2 Max    22       23    24    25       26    27   \n3 Phoebe 34       34    32    34       51    12   \n4 Scamp  35       36    21    22       23    24   \n5 Chance 1234     1235  1236  1267     173   1233 \n6 Aimee  420      123   690   42       45    12   \n7 Kyle   22       23    25    26       67    54   \n\n\n\n\nNew Header Names\n\nStep 1\nFirst lets read back the data, this time however with some options. We will set the n_max equal to 2, to only read the first two rows, and set col_names to FALSE so we do not read the first row as headers.\n\nds1 &lt;- read_excel(file_path, n_max = 2, col_names = FALSE)\nds1\n\n# A tibble: 2 × 7\n  ...1  ...2   ...3  ...4  ...5   ...6  ...7 \n  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;\n1 Name  Test 1 &lt;NA&gt;  &lt;NA&gt;  Test 2 &lt;NA&gt;  &lt;NA&gt; \n2 &lt;NA&gt;  Run 1  Run 2 Run 3 Run 1  Run 2 Run 3\n\n\n\n\nStep 2\nNow that we have our headers lets first transpose them to a vertical matrix using the base function t(), then we will turn it back into a tibble to allow us to use tidyr fill function.\n\nnames &lt;- ds1 %&gt;%\n  t() %&gt;%       #transpose to a matrix\n  as_tibble()   #back to tibble\nnames\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 2\n  V1     V2   \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt;\n1 Name   &lt;NA&gt; \n2 Test 1 Run 1\n3 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 2\n4 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 3\n5 Test 2 Run 1\n6 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 2\n7 &lt;NA&gt;   Run 3\n\n\nNote that tidyr fill can not work row wise, thus the need to flip the tibble so it is long vs wide.\n\n\nStep 3\nNow we use tidyr fill function to fill the NA’s with whatever value it finds above.\n\nnames &lt;- names %&gt;% fill(V1)  #use dplyr fill to fill in the NA's\nnames\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 2\n  V1     V2   \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt;\n1 Name   &lt;NA&gt; \n2 Test 1 Run 1\n3 Test 1 Run 2\n4 Test 1 Run 3\n5 Test 2 Run 1\n6 Test 2 Run 2\n7 Test 2 Run 3\n\n\n\n\nStep 4\nThis is where my data differed from many of the examples I could find online. Because the second row is also a header we can not just get rid of them. We can solve this using paste() combined with dplyr mutate to form a new column that combines the first and second column.\n\nnames &lt;- names %&gt;%\n  mutate(\n    new_names = paste(V1,V2, sep = \"_\")\n  )\nnames\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 3\n  V1     V2    new_names   \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;       \n1 Name   &lt;NA&gt;  Name_NA     \n2 Test 1 Run 1 Test 1_Run 1\n3 Test 1 Run 2 Test 1_Run 2\n4 Test 1 Run 3 Test 1_Run 3\n5 Test 2 Run 1 Test 2_Run 1\n6 Test 2 Run 2 Test 2_Run 2\n7 Test 2 Run 3 Test 2_Run 3\n\n\n\n\nStep 4a\nOne more small clean up task, in the example data the first column header Name, did not have a second label, this has created a name with an NA attached. We can use stringr to remove this NA.\n\nnames &lt;- names %&gt;% mutate(across(new_names, ~str_remove_all(.,\"_NA\")))\nnames\n\n# A tibble: 7 × 3\n  V1     V2    new_names   \n  &lt;chr&gt;  &lt;chr&gt; &lt;chr&gt;       \n1 Name   &lt;NA&gt;  Name        \n2 Test 1 Run 1 Test 1_Run 1\n3 Test 1 Run 2 Test 1_Run 2\n4 Test 1 Run 3 Test 1_Run 3\n5 Test 2 Run 1 Test 2_Run 1\n6 Test 2 Run 2 Test 2_Run 2\n7 Test 2 Run 3 Test 2_Run 3\n\n\n\n\nStep 5\nNow that are new name column is the way we want it, we can use dpylrs pull to return a vector of just that column\n\nnames &lt;-  names %&gt;% pull(new_names)\n\n\n\n\nFinal Data\nNow that we have a vector of column names lets read in the original file using our new names. We set the skip argument to 2, to skip the first two rows, and set col_names equal to our vector of names. Note the last step I used the janitor package to provide names in snake case (the default for the clean names function.)\n\nexample_data &lt;- readxl::read_excel(file_path, col_names = names, skip = 2) %&gt;%\n  janitor::clean_names()\nexample_data\n\n# A tibble: 6 × 7\n  name   test_1_run_1 test_1_run_2 test_1_run_3 test_2_run_1 test_2_run_2\n  &lt;chr&gt;         &lt;dbl&gt;        &lt;dbl&gt;        &lt;dbl&gt;        &lt;dbl&gt;        &lt;dbl&gt;\n1 Max              22           23           24           25           26\n2 Phoebe           34           34           32           34           51\n3 Scamp            35           36           21           22           23\n4 Chance         1234         1235         1236         1267          173\n5 Aimee           420          123          690           42           45\n6 Kyle             22           23           25           26           67\n# ℹ 1 more variable: test_2_run_3 &lt;dbl&gt;\n\n\n\n\nOther Help\nWhile searching for some solutions to my problem I found two good examples, however neither did exactly what I was trying to do.\n\nThis post by Lisa Deburine is pretty close to what I was trying to accomplish and gave me a good starting point. Read it here\nThis post by Alison Hill solves a simlar but slightly different problem. In her data the 2nd row is actually metadata not a second set of headers.

For this particular data set there are a couple things we need to add to replicate the example. In the original data set the date is stored with month, day, and year; the day is irrelevant and we need to pull out the month as well as the year. For this we can use the lubridate package, first we pull out the month and set it as a factor. For this example our year actually starts in October, so we set our factor to start at October (10), and end with September (9). We then pull out the year, which presents us with a different problem. Again our year starts in October, instead of January. To solve this I have created a variable called date adjustment, in this column is our month is 10 or greater, we will place a 1, if not a 0. We then set our fiscal year to be the actual year plus the date adjustment, this allows us to have our dates in the right fiscal year. Last the percent column is currently listed as a decimal, so we will convert this to a percentage.\n\n# split date time\nds1 &lt;- ds %&gt;% mutate(\n        #create month column, then set factors and labels to start fiscal year in Oct\n        month = month(ds$date)\n        ,month = factor(month\n                        ,levels = c(10:12, 1:9)\n                        ,labels = c(month.abb[10:12],month.abb[1:9]))\n       ,year = year(ds$date)\n        ,date_adjustment = ifelse(month(ds$date) &gt;= 10, 1,0 )\n        ,fiscal_year = factor(year + date_adjustment)\n        #convert % Pos from decmial to pct\n        ,pct_tests_pos_for_influenza = round(pct_tests_pos_for_influenza * 100, digits = 0)\n        )\n\nds1 %&gt;% glimpse()\n\nRows: 48\nColumns: 8\n$ date                                     &lt;dttm&gt; 2012-10-27, 2012-11-24, 2012…\n$ tests_pos_for_influenza_count            &lt;dbl&gt; 995, 3228, 22368, 24615, 1179…\n$ total_respiratory_specimens_tested_count &lt;dbl&gt; 18986, 24757, 66683, 75614, 5…\n$ pct_tests_pos_for_influenza              &lt;dbl&gt; 5, 13, 34, 33, 23, 17, 11, 6,…\n$ month                                    &lt;fct&gt; Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar,…\n$ year                                     &lt;dbl&gt; 2012, 2012, 2012, 2013, 2013,…\n$ date_adjustment                          &lt;dbl&gt; 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,…\n$ fiscal_year                              &lt;fct&gt; 2013, 2013, 2013, 2013, 2013,…"

The graph in question is called a Table Lens (This is the name the book uses, however I did have trouble finding this name in Google searches), it is a collection of charts with a common theme, this time looking at countries in various WHO regions and some statistics associated with mortality as well as health expenditure. I say this is a lesson in humiltiy as I have read through the excellent book R for Data Science, and yet the idea of faceting a ggplot graph slipped my mind. This ended with hours of trying to find a package in R to line up graphs, and way more time then I care to admit spent on getting things prefect. I did find such a package called cowplots, which can be found here.

These numbers however, are estimates based on the self-reported response to the CDC’s National Health Interview Survey, and do not represent the actual confirmed diagnoses. The CDC estimates that 1 in 5 adults have undiagnosed diabetes, therefore the numbers reported by the NHIS are likely to underestimate the true prevalence (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020).\n\n\nOverall - State Level\nState and County level data on diabetes prevalence are taken from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). These results are based on the question “Has a doctor, nurse, or other health professional ever told you that you have diabetes?”. Women who only experienced diabetes during pregnancy were excluded from the counts. The BRFSS is an ongoing, monthly telephone survey of the non-institutionalized adults (aged 18 years or older) in each state. The year 2011 saw a major change to the methodology of the survey, which started to include homes without a landline phone. This change was expected to increase coverage of lower income, lower educational levels, and younger age groups, because these groups often exclusively rely on cellular telephones for personal communication.(Pierannunzi et al., 2012)\n\n\nCode\ns_g1 &lt;- state_map %&gt;% \n  st_drop_geometry() %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = percentage, color = region)) +\n  geom_line(aes(group = id ),alpha = 0.3,na.rm = TRUE) +\n  geom_smooth(method = \"lm\", se = FALSE) +\n  ggpmisc::stat_poly_eq(formula = y ~ + x ,\n                        aes(label = paste(..eq.label.., ..rr.label.., sep = \"~~~\")), \n                        parse = TRUE) +\n  geom_vline(xintercept = 2011, linetype = \"dashed\", color = \"gray\") +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette    = \"Dark2\"\n                     ,direction = -1\n                     ,labels    = snakecase::to_title_case\n  ) +\n  labs(\n    title    = \"Percentage of Diagnosed Diabetes in Adults (18+) \\nby State and Region\"\n    ,x       = NULL\n    ,y       = NULL\n    ,color   = \"Region\"\n    ,caption = \"Regions from US Census Bureau\"\n  ) \n\ns_g1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe above graph shows diabetes prevalence trends by state, grouped into regions based on the US Census classification regions.

We see that in 2016 there was a large spike in diagnosed cases; unfortunately this is the last available year so it is unclear whether the upward trend continues. The graph below compares state-level average to the national average. Notice that the trend line is slightly higher than in the previous graphs: this is due to the age cut offs used for National and State level data vs County Level data. Previous data used 18 years of age as a cutoff for classifying adults, whereas the county level data uses 20. Due to removing 18- and 19-year-olds from the population, who typically have less diagnosed cases of diabetes than those of older ages, the computed prevalence increases slightly.\n\n\nCode\nd1 &lt;- nc_diabetes_data %&gt;% \n  group_by(year) %&gt;% \n  summarise(\n    pct = mean(percentage)\n    ,us_pct = mean(us_pct)\n  ) %&gt;% \n  pivot_longer(\n    cols       = c(\"pct\", \"us_pct\")\n    ,names_to  = \"metric\"\n    ,values_to = \"values\"\n  ) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    metric = factor(metric\n                    ,levels = c(\"pct\",\"us_pct\")\n                    ,labels = c(\"NC\", \"National\"))\n  )\n\nnc_g1 &lt;- d1 %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = values, color = metric)) +\n  geom_line() +\n  geom_point(shape = 21, size = 3) +\n  geom_vline(xintercept = 2011, linetype = \"dashed\", color = \"gray\") +\n  scale_y_continuous(labels = function(x) paste0(x, \"%\")) +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\") +\n  labs(\n    x      = NULL\n    ,y     = NULL\n    ,color = NULL\n    ,title = \"Percent of Adults (20+) with Diagnosed Diabetes\"\n  )\n\nnc_g1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe see a spike in 2016, the last year for which the data are available. However, we should be careful with our interpretation of this pattern, because the examination of the county-level trajectories reveals an aberration in the trend that requires a more rigorous investigation.\n\n\nCode\nnc_g1a &lt;- nc_diabetes_data %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = percentage)) +\n  geom_line(aes(group = county),alpha = 0.4) +\n  labs(\n    x = NULL\n    ,y = NULL\n    ,color = NULL\n  )\n\nnc_g1a\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile all of North Carolina has a higher prevalence than the national average, rural counties have systematically higher prevalence of diabetes than urban counties. Note that after 2011 both Urban and Rural counties break the upward trend exhibited in the previous 5 years. This could be explained by the addition of cell phones to the BRFS Survey as many rural areas are often lower income areas and may only rely on a cell phone for communication. As mentioned previously there is an odd spike in case in 2016 that can’t be explained by current documentation. For the purpose of this evaluation 2016 will be excluded from the county level data since the odd trend can not be explained and no further data is available to determine if this is a real spike or could be attributed to methodology change or data quality.\n\n\nCode\nd2 &lt;- nc_diabetes_data %&gt;% \n  select(-us_pct) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    pct_rural  = if_else(rural == TRUE, percentage, FALSE)\n    ,pct_urban = if_else(rural == FALSE, percentage, FALSE)\n  ) %&gt;% \n  select(-countyfips,-percentage) %&gt;% \n  group_by(year) %&gt;% \n  summarise(\n    pct_rural = mean(pct_rural,na.rm = TRUE)\n    ,pct_urban = mean(pct_urban,na.rm = TRUE)\n  ) %&gt;% left_join(us_diabetes_data) %&gt;% \n  pivot_longer(\n    cols       = c(\"us_pct\", \"pct_rural\",\"pct_urban\")\n    ,names_to  = \"metric\"\n    ,values_to = \"value\"\n    ,values_drop_na = TRUE\n  ) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    metric = factor(metric,\n                    levels  = c(\"pct_rural\",\"pct_urban\",\"us_pct\")\n                    ,labels = c(\"Rural\",\"Urban\",\"US\")\n    )\n  )\n\nnc_g2 &lt;- d2 %&gt;% ggplot(aes(x = year, y = value, color = metric)) +\n  geom_line() +\n  geom_point(shape = 21, size = 3) +\n  geom_vline(xintercept = 2011, linetype = \"dashed\", color = \"gray\") +\n  scale_y_continuous(labels = function(x) paste0(x, \"%\")) +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\") +\n  labs(\n    x      = NULL\n    ,y     = NULL\n    ,color = NULL\n    ,title = \"Percent of Adults (20+) with Diagnosed Diabetes \\nDisplaying Rural vs Urban\"\n  )\n\nnc_g2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy County - Geographical\nCounty level data first became available in 2004, three years of data is used to arrive at these estimates. For example, the 2006 estimates were computed using the data from 2005, 2006, and 2007 BRFS survey rounds. The county-level estimates were based on indirect model-dependent estimates using Bayesian multilevel modeling techniques(Barker et al., 2013; JNK, 2003). This model-dependent approach employs a statistical model that “borrows strength” in making an estimate for one county from BRFSS data collected in other counties and states. Multilevel Binomial regression models with random effects of demographic variables (age 20-44, 45-64, &gt;=65; race/ethnicity; sex) at the county-level were developed. Estimates were adjusted for age to the 2000 US standard population using age groups of 20-44, 45-64, and 65 or older(Klein & Schoenborn, 2001).\n\n\nCode\ng50 &lt;- nc_diabetes_data %&gt;% \n  filter(year &lt; 2015) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    rural = factor(rural\n                   ,levels = c(TRUE,FALSE)\n                   ,labels = c(\"Rural\", \"Urban\")\n    )\n  ) %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = percentage, color = rural)) +\n  geom_line(aes(group = county),alpha = 0.3) +\n  geom_smooth(aes(group = rural), method = \"loess\", se= FALSE, size = 1.1) +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\") +\n  labs(\n    title = \"Percent of Adults (20+) with Diagnosed Diabetes \\nAll North Carolina Counties\"\n    ,x = NULL\n    ,y = NULL\n    ,color = NULL\n  )\n\ng50\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen viewing all county trend lines together, we see that the loess line for both urban and rural follows a similar trend for the time period.\nThe following graphs displays the total estimated prevalence of Diabetes in each off the 100 North Carolina counties. To keep the scaling consistent between the graphs, we binned the estimates into 6 intervals of the same size. Rural counties are highlighted with a stronger border line as well as a letter “R” in respective geographic centers. These graphs allow us to view geographical clusters of diabetes prevalence.\n\n\nCode\nnc_counties_map_binned &lt;- nc_counties_map %&gt;% \n  filter(year &lt; 2015) %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    bin = dlookr::binning(.$percentage, nbins = 6 ,type = \"equal\")\n    ,bin = forcats::fct_recode(bin\n                               ,\"6.5   - 7.9\"  =  \"[6.5,7.97]\"\n                               ,\"8.0  - 9.4\" =  \"(7.97,9.43]\" \n                               ,\"9.5  - 10.9\" =  \"(9.43,10.9]\" \n                               ,\"11.0 - 12.4\" =  \"(10.9,12.4]\"\n                               ,\"12.5 - 13.8\" =  \"(12.4,13.8]\"  \n                               ,\"13.9 - 15.3\" =  \"(13.8,15.3]\"\n    )\n  )\n\nc_g1 &lt;- nc_counties_map_binned %&gt;% \n  filter(year %in% c(2006,2014)) %&gt;% \n  ggplot() +\n  geom_sf() + #blank geom_sf keeps gridlines from overlapping map\n  geom_sf(aes(fill = bin,color = rural)) +\n  geom_sf(data = nc_cities) +\n  ggrepel::geom_text_repel(data = nc_cities, \n                           aes(x = long, y = lat, label = city)\n                           ,nudge_y = c(-1,1,1,-1,1)\n                           ,nudge_x = c(0,0,0,-1,0)\n  ) +\n  geom_text(data = . %&gt;% filter(rural == TRUE)\n            ,aes(x = center_long, y = center_lat)\n            ,label = \"R\"\n            ,color = \"#696969\"\n  ) +\n  coord_sf(xlim = c(-84.5,-75.5), ylim = c(33.75,37)) +\n  facet_wrap(~year) +\n  scale_fill_viridis_d(alpha = 0.6, direction = -1) +\n  scale_color_manual(\n    values = c(\n      \"FALSE\" = \"gray\"\n      ,\"TRUE\" = \"black\"\n    ),guide = 'none') +\n  labs(\n    title = \"Estimated Diabetes in Adults (20+) by County\"\n    ,fill = \"Percentage\"\n    ,y    = NULL\n    ,x    = NULL\n  ) +\n  theme(\n    panel.background = element_rect(fill = \"aliceblue\")\n    ,panel.grid.major = element_line(color = \"#D4D4D4\", linetype = \"dashed\", \n                                     size = 0.5)\n    ,legend.position = \"bottom\"\n    ,plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)\n  )\n\nc_g1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe following box plot displays the distribution of estimated cases by county from 2006 to 2014.

It is notable that the mean of change for Urban counties is actually higher than the mean for rural counties. However, we also see that most change for both regions is positive growth. In fact only 16 rural, and 10 Urban counties experienced negative change in the given time frame. While 35 rural and 34 urban counties experience growth in the same period.\n\n\nCode\nd4 &lt;- d3 %&gt;% \n  st_drop_geometry() %&gt;% \n  mutate(\n    rural = factor(rural\n                   ,levels = c(TRUE,FALSE)\n                   ,labels = c(\"Rural\", \"Urban\")\n    )\n  )\n\n\nmean_d4 &lt;- d4 %&gt;% \n  group_by(rural) %&gt;% \n  summarise(.groups = \"keep\"\n            ,pct_c = mean(pct_c)\n  )\n\ng51 &lt;-  d4 %&gt;% \n  ggplot(aes(x = pct_c, fill = rural, y = ..density.., color = rural)) +\n  geom_histogram(binwidth = 5, position = \"identity\", alpha = 0.3) +\n  geom_density(alpha = 0.5) +\n  facet_wrap(~rural, ncol = 1)  +\n  geom_vline(aes(xintercept = pct_c), data = mean_d4) +\n  geom_text(aes(x = pct_c, y = 0.038, label = round(pct_c, 2))\n            ,data  = mean_d4\n            ,hjust = -0.15\n            ,size  = 5\n            ,color = \"#000000\") +\n  geom_vline(xintercept = 0, linetype = \"dashed\", color = \"#696969\") +\n  scale_color_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\", guide = NULL) +\n  scale_fill_brewer(palette = \"Dark2\", guide = NULL) +\n  labs(\n    x = \"Percentage Change\"\n    ,y = \"Density\"\n    ,fill = NULL\n  )\ng51\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion and Next Steps\nThe original hypothesis of this report was that rural counties were growing at a higher rate then there urban counterparts. Through out this post it has been shown that this hypothesis is incorrect, just being a rural county does not indicate diabetes growth, in fact the growth rate throughout North Carolina has been consistent. Further posts will explore other reasons for these trends, as the current post merely explores the trends and differences using data visualizations, a more rigorous and formal evaluation of these comparison is in order.\n\n\nSession information\n===========================================================================\nFor the sake of documentation and reproducibility, the current report was rendered in the following environment.
