An introduction to R Markdown and a collaborative coding challenge exploring NYC parties
This content was developed for the December 2017 R Ladies Chicago meetup. There were two parts to this meet up---first was a 20-minute presentation on R Markdown, and then we broke into small groups for a collaborative coding challenge. Groups then spent an hour exploring data on party-related noise complaints in NYC, which includes party-related noise complaints in NYC (including their time and location within the city) and neighborhood-level demographics. They compiled what they found into an R Markdown report and shared with the rest of the group.
This repository contains both the presentation on R Markdown as well as the data that we used for the coding challenge. More details about the coding challenge and NYC party data can be found in the R Markdown presentation.
The R Markdown presentation (and the .Rmd file that produce this presentation) are located in /presentation Data about NYC parties data available in /data. Raw data and the script used to join the data available in the /raw_data subfolder.
Shout out to Evgeniy Vasilev for posting the NYC party-related noise complaints from 2016 on Kaggle. I joined this data with NYC neighborhood-level demographic data which is available from the Baruch College Library thanks to Frank Donnelly.
Thank you to R Ladies Chicago for making this possible and many thanks to all the members who attended and participated!
