Module # 3 data.frame

Assignment # 3
 This data set is based on the presidential election during 2016, where it outlined the name of the candidate, the source of the poll (ABC vs, CBS). Discuss your result in your blog. Important note, I made up this data, so this data does not reflect what really happened in the election.

> Name <- c("Jeb", “Donald”, "Ted”, “Marco” “Carly”, “Hillary”, “Berine”)

> ABC political poll results <- c(4, 62 51, 21, 2, 14, 15)

> CBS political poll results <- c(12, 75, 43, 19, 1, 21, 19) 


    This simulated dataset compares fictional polling results for seven presidential candidates from two sources: ABC and CBS. Overall, both polls identify Donald as the leading candidate, however, there are meaningful differences for several candidates. For example, Ted receives substantially higher support in the ABC poll than in the CBS poll, while Hillary and Bernie show stronger results in the CBS poll than in ABC.

    These differences are telling of how polling organizations can produce varying results even when measuring the same population. Factors such as sampling methods and question wording. Though this dataset is fictional, it effectively demonstrates how comparing multiple data sources can reveal variation and potential uncertainty in polling data.

 The following data was collected by the local hospital. This data set contains 5 variables based on the observation of 10 patients. In addition to the measurements of the patients checking in to the hospital that night, this data provides the patients' histories regarding the frequency of their visits to the hospital in the last 12 months. This data displays the measurement of blood pressure, first assessment by a general doctor (bad=1, good =0) titled "first," the second assessment by an external doctor (called "second"), and the last row provides the head of the emergency unit's decision regarding immediate care for the patient based on the values 0 or 1 (low = 0, high =1). The names of your variables are as follows: "Freq","bloodp","first”, " second”, ”finaldecision” The rows  1.    "0.6","103","bad","low","low” 2.     "0.3","87","bad","low"...

Assignment #10: Building Your Own R Package

The Friedman package is designed to help users clean, analyze, and model airline delay data. It is intended for students and analysts working with transportation datasets who want a simple and reusable way to explore delay patterns and trends. The package will include key functions such as clean_delay_data() for preparing datasets, summarize_delays() for calculating summary statistics, plot_delay_trends() for visualizing delay patterns, and predict_delays() for building basic predictive models. These functions support a complete workflow from data preparation to analysis. The DESCRIPTION file was structured to clearly define the package and its dependencies. The version 0.0.0.9000 indicates the package is still in development. The Authors@R field identifies the creator, while Depends specifies the required R version. The Imports field includes packages like dplyr and rlang for data manipulation. The CC0 license was chosen to allow open academic use, and the URL and BugReports fields li...
