Another Interactive Map for the Cholera Dataset

5 Comments

Following my previous post, François (aka @FrancoisKeck) posted a comment mentionning another package I could use to get an interactive map, the rleafmap package. And the heatmap was here easy to include.

The first part is still the same, to get the data,

> require(rleafmap)
> library(sp)
> library(rgdal)
> library(maptools)
> library(KernSmooth)
> setwd("/home/arthur/Documents/")
> deaths <- readShapePoints("Cholera_Deaths")
> df_deaths <- data.frame(deaths@coords)
> coordinates(df_deaths)=~coords.x1+coords.x2
> proj4string(df_deaths)=CRS("+init=epsg:27700") 
> df_deaths = spTransform(df_deaths,CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84"))
> df=data.frame(df_deaths@coords)

To get a first visualisation, use

> stamen_bm <- basemap("stamen.toner")
> j_snow <- spLayer(df_deaths, stroke = FALSE)
> writeMap(stamen_bm, j_snow, width = 1000, height = 750, setView = c( mean(df[,1]),mean(df[,2])), setZoom = 14)

and again, using the + and the – in the top left area, we can zoom in, or out. Or we can do it manually,

> writeMap(stamen_bm, j_snow, width = 1000, height = 750, setView = c( mean(df[,1]),mean(df[,2])), setZoom = 16)

To get the heatmap, use

> library(spatstat)
> library(maptools)

> win <- owin(xrange = bbox(df_deaths)[1,] + c(-0.01,0.01), yrange = bbox(df_deaths)[2,] + c(-0.01,0.01))
> df_deaths_ppp <- ppp(coordinates(df_deaths)[,1],  coordinates(df_deaths)[,2], window = win)
> 
> df_deaths_ppp_d <- density.ppp(df_deaths_ppp, 
  sigma = min(bw.ucv(df[,1]),bw.ucv(df[,2])))
 
> df_deaths_d <- as.SpatialGridDataFrame.im(df_deaths_ppp_d)
> df_deaths_d$v[df_deaths_d$v < 10^3] <- NA

> stamen_bm <- basemap("stamen.toner")
> mapquest_bm <- basemap("mapquest.map")
 
> j_snow <- spLayer(df_deaths, stroke = FALSE)
> df_deaths_den <- spLayer(df_deaths_d, layer = "v", cells.alpha = seq(0.1, 0.8, length.out = 12))
> my_ui <- ui(layers = "topright")

> writeMap(stamen_bm, mapquest_bm, j_snow, df_deaths_den, width = 1000, height = 750, interface = my_ui, setView = c( mean(df[,1]),mean(df[,2])), setZoom = 16)

The amazing thing here are the options in the top right corner. For instance, we can remove some layers, e.g. to remove the points

or to change the background

To get an html file, instead of a standard visualisation in RStudio, use

> writeMap(stamen_bm, mapquest_bm, j_snow, df_deaths_den, width = 450, height = 350, interface = my_ui, setView = c( mean(df[,1]),mean(df[,2])), setZoom = 16, directView ="browser")

which will generate the html table (as well as some additional files actually) above. Awesome, isn’t it?

Maps

John Snow, and Google Maps

7 Comments

In my previous post, I discussed how to use OpenStreetMaps (and standard plotting functions of R) to visualize John Snow’s dataset. But it is also possible to use Google Maps (and ggplot2 types of graphs).

library(ggmap)
get_london <- get_map(c(-.137,51.513), zoom=17)
london <- ggmap(get_london)

Again, the tricky part comes from the fact that the coordinate representation system, here, is not the same as the one used on Robin Wilson’s blog.

> library(maptools)
> setwd("/cholera/")
> deaths <- readShapePoints("Cholera_Deaths")
> head(deaths@coords)
coords.x1 coords.x2
0  529308.7  181031.4
1  529312.2  181025.2
2  529314.4  181020.3
3  529317.4  181014.3
4  529320.7  181007.9
5  529336.7  181006.0
> X <- deaths@coords

or, use d X_deaths.RData. So now, we have to change it

df_deaths <- data.frame(X)
library(sp)
library(rgdal)
coordinates(df_deaths)=~coords.x1+coords.x2
proj4string(df_deaths)=CRS("+init=epsg:27700") 
df_deaths = spTransform(df_deaths,CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84"))

Here, we have the same coordinate system as the one used in Google Maps. Now, we can add a layer, with the points,

london + geom_point(aes(x=coords.x1, y=coords.x2),data=data.frame(df_deaths@coords),col="red")

Again, it is possible to add the density, as an additional layer,

london + geom_point(aes(x=coords.x1, y=coords.x2), 
data=data.frame(df_deaths@coords),col="red")+
geom_density2d(data = data.frame(df_deaths@coords), 
aes(x = coords.x1, y=coords.x2), size = 0.3) + 
stat_density2d(data = data.frame(df_deaths@coords), 
aes(x = coords.x1, y=coords.x2,fill = ..level.., alpha = ..level..),size = 0.01, bins = 16, geom = "polygon") + scale_fill_gradient(low = "green", high = "red",guide = FALSE) + 
scale_alpha(range = c(0, 0.3), guide = FALSE)

 

Maps

John Snow, and OpenStreetMap

While I was working for a training on data visualization, I wanted to get a nice visual for John Snow’s cholera dataset. This dataset can actually be found in a great package of famous historical datasets.

library(HistData)
data(Snow.deaths)
data(Snow.streets)

One can easily visualize the deaths, on a simplified map, with the streets (here simple grey segments, see Vincent Arel-Bundock’s post)

plot(Snow.deaths[,c("x","y")], col="red", pch=19, cex=.7,xlab="", ylab="", xlim=c(3,20), ylim=c(3,20))
slist <- split(Snow.streets[,c("x","y")],as.factor(Snow.streets[,"street"]))
invisible(lapply(slist, lines, col="grey"))
