I am still figuring out R. I know that the more and more time I spend in it, the more my confidence and knowledge will grow. Week 10’s assignment is very interesting. The data shows us Cannabis sales, inspections, and enforcement actions in Washington. This is so fascinating because this is such a hot topic and divided issue. Washington does not allow unlicensed cultivation for personal use, unlike other states that have legalized cannabis for recreational use. The industry is regulated by the state’s Liquor and Cannabis board and use has only been legalized for adults 21 and older. Given these restrictions, we are able to look at such great data.
This project delves into cleaning up the data, and then analyzing the sales top retailers, sales top counties 2016 versus 2017, sales top cities quarter one of 2017 versus quarter one of 2018, inspections by business 2016 and 2017, inspections by city 2016 and 2017, violations by business 2016 and 2017, and violations by type and city 2018. Lastly, the project takes a look at if inspections and violations are correlated and whether the day of the week matters for inspections or violations.
While I am still becoming comfortable with R and figuring out formatting issues, I think that this Project will move me in the right direction, and I am truly fascinated by the subject matter!
