In This Homework You Will Do Some Data Analysis Using R For The Fores

In this assignment, you are tasked with performing multiple data analysis steps using R on the Forest Fire dataset. The dataset contains information about forest fires along with meteorological data, and your goal is to explore and analyze this data to understand the relationships between various factors and the burned area caused by fires. The instructions include inspecting the dataset, summarizing specific observations, identifying outliers, and applying data manipulation techniques using the dplyr package. Your results should be presented in HTML format, reflecting a clear and organized analytical report.

The analysis begins with importing the forest fire dataset into R. Assuming the dataset has been downloaded and is named appropriately, the initial step involves understanding the structure and size of the data. The number of observations, as well as the count of instances where a fire occurred (area > 0) and when there was rainfall (rain > 0), will be determined. Additionally, identifying the count of observations that encompass both a fire and rain will offer insight into how these factors may co-occur.

Next, a subset of the dataset will be created to display only the columns for month, day, and area for all observations, providing a concise view of the temporal and fire size data. Further refinement yields a subset containing the same columns but restricted to observations where a fire occurred, enabling focused analysis of fire incidents over time.

To understand the severity of the fires, the five largest fires based on the area burned will be identified. For each of these fires, the corresponding metadata—such as month, temperature (temp), relative humidity (RH), wind speed, rain—will be examined. This exploration helps to identify environmental conditions associated with higher fire severity. Additionally, a new boolean column will be added to the dataset using the mutate function to indicate whether a fire was present (True if area > 0, False otherwise), facilitating quick classification and filtering.

Outlier detection is an essential part of understanding data abnormalities. Using the provided vector (1, 2, 50, 45, 67, 200, 230, 55, 56), the analysis will include creating a boxplot and a plot to visualize outliers. The exact outlier values will be identified and listed. This step highlights how statistical methods can uncover anomalous data points that may influence overall analysis.

Finally, applying the dplyr package functions to the 'iris' dataset demonstrates data manipulation skills. Selecting specific columns (Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, Petal.Length, Petal.Width) assists in reducing the data scope for focused analysis. Filtering the dataset for species 'setosa' or 'virginica' enables comparative studies between these two groups, illustrating how subset selection can be performed efficiently using dplyr.

Conclusion

This comprehensive data analysis exercises both exploratory and manipulative skills in R. By examining the forest fire dataset and the iris dataset through these steps, insights related to fire occurrences, environmental conditions, and outliers are obtained, thereby demonstrating the application of R functions, data filtering, summarization, and visualization techniques in practical data science tasks.
