This repo is a data package with an excerpt from the [Gapminder](https://www.gapminder.org/data/) data.

The main object in this package is the `gapminder` data frame or "tibble".

There are other goodies, such as the data in tab delimited form, a larger unfiltered dataset, premade color schemes for the countries and continents, and ISO 3166-1 country codes.

The primary use case is for teaching and writing examples.

## Installation

Install `gapminder` from CRAN:

```{r eval = FALSE}

install.packages("gapminder")

```

## Quick look

Here we do a bit of data aggregation and plotting with the `gapminder` data:

```{r test-drive, message = FALSE, warning = FALSE, out.width = "60%"}

library(gapminder)

library(dplyr)

library(ggplot2)

aggregate(lifeExp ~ continent, gapminder, median)

gapminder %>%

  filter(year == 2007) %>%

  group_by(continent) %>%

  summarise(lifeExp = median(lifeExp))

ggplot(gapminder, aes(x = continent, y = lifeExp)) +

  geom_boxplot(outlier.colour = "hotpink") +

  geom_jitter(position = position_jitter(width = 0.1, height = 0), alpha = 1 / 4)

```
