divseg

divseg implements common measures of diversity (within-geography) and segregation (across-geographies).

Example

The basic workflow relies on a tibble where each row represents a geography and has columns that represent some form of population data.

library(divseg)
#> 
#> Attaching package: 'divseg'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:base':
#> 
#>     interaction

divseg comes with two example datasets. de_county contains 2010 Census data on the counties in Delaware. de_tract likewise has 2010 Census data on the tracts in Delaware.

data('de_county')
data('de_tract')

A pretty standard function call returns a vector, where the first entry is a tibble and the second is tidyselect language.

ds_blau(.data = de_county, .cols = starts_with('pop_'))
#> [1] 0.5155228 0.5570435 0.4052769

More importantly, if you specify an argument to .name, all functions are pipe-able.

de_county |>
  ds_blau(starts_with('pop_'), .name = 'blau') |>
  ds_delta(starts_with('pop_'), .name = 'delta') |>
  dplyr::relocate(blau, delta)

Each function has a partner that can go inside calls to dplyr::mutate() by dropping the ds_ prefix:

de_county |>
  dplyr::mutate(herf = hhi(starts_with('pop_'))) |>
  dplyr::relocate(herf)
