If you stare at these columns for long enough, you'll notice there's a pattern. Each column name is made up of three pieces separated by `_`. -The first piece, `sp`/`rel`/`ep`, describes the method used for the diagnosis, the second piece, `m`/`f` is the `gender` (coded as a binary variable in this dataset), and the third piece, `014`/`1524`/`2534`/`3544`/`4554`/`5564/``65` is the `age` range (`014` represents 0-14, for example). +The first piece, `sp`/`rel`/`ep`, describes the method used for the diagnosis, the second piece, `m`/`f` is the `gender` (coded as a binary variable in this dataset), and the third piece, `014`/`1524`/`2534`/`3544`/`4554`/`5564`/`65` is the `age` range (`014` represents 0-14, for example). So in this case we have six pieces of information recorded in `who2`: the country and the year (already columns); the method of diagnosis, the gender category, and the age range category (contained in the other column names); and the count of patients in that category (cell values). To organize these six pieces of information in six separate columns, we use `pivot_longer()` with a vector of column names for `names_to` and instructors for splitting the original variable names into pieces for `names_sep` as well as a column name for `values_to`: @@ -432,7 +432,7 @@ When you use `".value"` in `names_to`, the column names in the input contribute #| label: fig-pivot-names-and-values #| echo: false #| fig-cap: > -#| Pivoting with `names_to = c(".value", "id")` splits the column names +#| Pivoting with `names_to = c(".value", "num")` splits the column names #| into two components: the first part determines the output column #| name (`x` or `y`), and the second part determines the value of the #| `id` column. diff --git a/diagrams/tidy-data.graffle b/diagrams/tidy-data.graffle index 6e8a605..f394d3a 100644 Binary files a/diagrams/tidy-data.graffle and b/diagrams/tidy-data.graffle differ diff --git a/diagrams/tidy-data/names-and-values.png b/diagrams/tidy-data/names-and-values.png index 307efc5..b17416e 100644 Binary files a/diagrams/tidy-data/names-and-values.png and b/diagrams/tidy-data/names-and-values.png differ
