商品描述

This book serves as a hands-on guide to the "acs" R package for demographers, planners, and other researchers who work with American Community Survey (ACS) data. It gathers the most common problems associated with using ACS data and implements functions as a package in the R statistical programming language.  The package defines a new "acs" class object (containing estimates, standard errors, and metadata for tables from the ACS) with methods to deal appropriately with common tasks (e.g., creating and combining subgroups or geographies, automatic fetching of data via the Census API, mathematical operations on estimates, tests of significance, plots of confidence intervals).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是針對 demographers、規劃者以及其他使用美國社區調查(American Community Survey, ACS)數據的研究人員所編寫的《acs》R 套件的實作指南。它彙集了使用 ACS 數據時最常見的問題,並在 R 統計程式語言中實作了相應的函數作為一個套件。該套件定義了一個新的「acs」類別物件(包含來自 ACS 的估計值、標準誤差和元數據),並提供了處理常見任務的方法(例如,創建和合併子群體或地理區域、通過 Census API 自動獲取數據、對估計值進行數學運算、顯著性檢驗、信賴區間的繪圖)。
