The R Package to have X Ray vision on your datasets. This package lets you analyze the variables of a dataset, to evaluate how is your data shaped. Consider this the first step when you have your data for modeling, you can use this package to analyze all variables and check if there is anything weird worth transforming or even avoiding the variable altogether.
You can install the stable version of xray from CRAN with:
install.packages("xray")Or the latest dev version from Github:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("sicarul/xray")xray::anomalies analyzes all your columns for anomalies,
whether they are NAs, Zeroes, Infinite, etc, and warns you if it detects
variables with at least 80% of rows with those anomalies. It also warns
you when all rows have the same value.
Example:
data(longley)
badLongley=longley
badLongley$GNP=NA
xray::anomalies(badLongley)
#> Warning in xray::anomalies(badLongley): Found 1 possible problematic variables:

#> 1 Anomalies present in 100% of the rows. Less than 2 distinct values.xray::distributions tries to analyze the distribution of
your variables, so you can understand how each variable is statistically
structured. It also returns a percentiles table of numeric variables as
a result, which can inform you of the shape of the data.

distributions, but shows you the change over time, so if there is any
change in the distribution over time (For example a variable stops or
starts being collected) you can easily visualize it.
