The plot_outlier() visualize outlier information for diagnosing the quality of the numerical(INTEGER, NUMBER, etc.) column of the DBMS table through tbl_dbi.

# S3 method for tbl_dbi
plot_outlier(
  .data,
  ...,
  col = "steelblue",
  in_database = FALSE,
  collect_size = Inf,
  typographic = TRUE,
  base_family = NULL
)

Arguments

.data

a tbl_dbi.

...

one or more unquoted expressions separated by commas. You can treat variable names like they are positions. Positive values select variables; negative values to drop variables. If the first expression is negative, plot_outlier() will automatically start with all variables. These arguments are automatically quoted and evaluated in a context where column names represent column positions. They support unquoting and splicing.

col

a color to be used to fill the bars. The default is "lightblue".

in_database

Specifies whether to perform in-database operations. If TRUE, most operations are performed in the DBMS. if FALSE, table data is taken in R and operated in-memory. Not yet supported in_database = TRUE.

collect_size

a integer. The number of data samples from the DBMS to R. Applies only if in_database = FALSE.

typographic

logical. Whether to apply focuses on typographic elements to ggplot2 visualization. The default is TRUE. if TRUE provides a base theme that focuses on typographic elements using hrbrthemes package.

base_family

character. The name of the base font family to use for the visualization. If not specified, the font defined in dlookr is applied. (See details)

Details

The scope of the diagnosis is the provide a outlier information. Since the plot is drawn for each variable, if you specify more than one variable in the ... argument, the specified number of plots are drawn.

Outlier diagnostic information

The plot derived from the numerical data diagnosis is as follows.

  • With outliers box plot

  • Without outliers box plot

  • With outliers histogram

  • Without outliers histogram

See vignette("diagonosis") for an introduction to these concepts.

The base_family is selected from "Roboto Condensed", "Liberation Sans Narrow", "NanumSquare", "Noto Sans Korean". If you want to use a different font, use it after loading the Google font with import_google_font().

Examples

# If you have the 'DBI' and 'RSQLite' packages installed, perform the code block:
if (FALSE) {
library(dplyr)

# connect DBMS
con_sqlite <- DBI::dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), ":memory:")

# copy heartfailure to the DBMS with a table named TB_HEARTFAILURE
copy_to(con_sqlite, heartfailure, name = "TB_HEARTFAILURE", overwrite = TRUE)

# Using pipes ---------------------------------
# Visualization of all numerical variables
con_sqlite %>% 
  tbl("TB_HEARTFAILURE") %>% 
  plot_outlier()
  
# Positive values select variables
 con_sqlite %>% 
   tbl("TB_HEARTFAILURE") %>% 
   plot_outlier(platelets, sodium)
  
# Negative values to drop variables, and In-memory mode and collect size is 200
con_sqlite %>% 
  tbl("TB_HEARTFAILURE") %>% 
  plot_outlier(-platelets, -sodium, collect_size = 200)
  
# Positions values select variables
con_sqlite %>% 
  tbl("TB_HEARTFAILURE") %>% 
  plot_outlier(6)
  
# Negative values to drop variables
con_sqlite %>% 
  tbl("TB_HEARTFAILURE") %>% 
  plot_outlier(-1, -5)
  
# Not allow the typographic elements
con_sqlite %>% 
  tbl("TB_HEARTFAILURE") %>% 
  plot_outlier(-1, -5, typographic = FALSE)

# Using pipes & dplyr -------------------------
# Visualization of numerical variables with a ratio of
# outliers greater than 1%
con_sqlite %>% 
  tbl("TB_HEARTFAILURE") %>% 
  plot_outlier(con_sqlite %>% 
                 tbl("TB_HEARTFAILURE") %>% 
                 diagnose_outlier() %>%
                 filter(outliers_ratio > 1) %>%
                 select(variables) %>%
                 pull())

# Disconnect DBMS   
DBI::dbDisconnect(con_sqlite)
}
