Question: summarize

Mean for year

Find the mean ros for each year and call the variable mean_ros
Extract the mean for 2016

drug_cos %>% 
  group_by(year) %>% 
  summarize(mean_ros =mean(ros))  %>% 
  filter(year == 2016)

# A tibble: 1 x 2
   year mean_ros
  <dbl>    <dbl>
1  2016    0.253

The mean ros for 2016 is .253 or 25.3%

Find the median ros for each year and call the variable median_ros

drug_cos %>% 
  group_by(year) %>% 
  summarize(median_ros =median(ros))  %>% 
  filter(year == 2016)

# A tibble: 1 x 2
   year median_ros
  <dbl>      <dbl>
1  2016      0.286

The median ros for 2016 is .286 or 28.6%

Pick a ratio and a year and compare the companies

drug_cos %>% 
  filter(year == 2018) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = netmargin, y = reorder(name, netmargin))) +
  geom_col() +
  scale_x_continuous(labels = scales::percent) +
  labs(title = "Comparison of net margin",
       subtitle = "for drug companies during 2018", 
       x = NULL, y = NULL) +
  theme_classic()

Pick a company and a ratio and compare the ratio over time.

drug_cos %>% 
  filter(ticker == "PFE") %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = year, y = netmargin)) +
  geom_col() +
  scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent) +
  labs(title = "Comparison of net margin",
       subtitle = "for Pfizer from 2011 to 2018",

Data Manipulation

Use filter() to extract rows that meet criteria

Use select() to select, rename, and reorder columns
