NSCB Sexy Stats Version 2

This was a revised version of my previous post about the NSCB article. With the suggestion from Tal Galili, below were the new pie charts and the R codes to produce these plots by directly scrapping the data from the webpage using XML and RColorBrewer pagkage.

Unemployment by Gender

Unemployment by Civil Status

NSCB Sexy Statistics (Unemployment)

Recently, my friend posted on her Facebook account about the article published by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) about poverty and unemployment in the country.  Looking at the report I saw a lot of tables, so I thought why not use R to make some graphs out of these tables (with some inspiration from the mazmascience).

Rainfall Amount Flooding Quezon City Philippines

The rainfall received by Quezon City, Philippines was almost double of what the city normally receive for the entire month of August, causing flooding and land slide to various villages in the area.

August 6-7 Rainfall on Metro Manila

Majority of Metro Manila is affected by floods. Looking at the hourly data from PAGASA weather  station located at Bicutan, Taguig, the graph below will gave the viewers of this blog on the rainfall situation in Manila from August 6 (12:00am)-7(11:15 pm), 2012.

Provincial Monthly Rainfall of the Philippines from WORLDCLIM

Preparing for a future conference on climate change, I downloaded and extracted average monthly rainfall in the Philippines from worldclim.org. Using maptools, raster, and animation package in R, I produced an animation of average monthly rainfall of the country.

Trend and Spatial Pattern of Poverty in the Philippines

In a teaching demo that I have conducted, I discussed on how R can be used to analyze trends and spatial pattern of poverty incidence in the Philippines. Playing on the data I got from the National Statistical Coordination Board below is what I got.

Colored 3D Map

In my previous post, I showed how to make a 3D view of an area using the persp function. However, I felt this was not a complete representation, especially for digital elevation. While looking for some reference for my presentation on the use of R for data analysis and visualization, I came across a thread discussing " 3d plot with different levels done in different colors (solution)".  In this thread, a co-blogger Tamas K Papp's shared his levelpersp function. Using this function I tried to plot 3D view of Marinduque, Philippines using terrain and topo color.

Negros Quake Animation in R

Taken from a previous post in other website, maps below show the locations of epicenters and sequence of earthquakes that struck Negros last February 6, 2012. The bottom image is the animation these maps using animation package in R. Data was taken from United State Geological Survey.
