Introduction to Choropleth Maps in R Choropleth maps are a type of map that displays geographic data as a continuous gradient of colors, where each color represents a specific value or category. In this article, we will explore how to generate an Australian state/territory choropleth map in R. Background and Requirements To create a choropleth map, we need access to geographic data, such as the boundaries of states and territories, as well as a method for displaying the data as colors.

Problem: Merging nested dataframes with target Given the following code: # Define nested dataframe structure a <- rnorm(100) b <- runif(100) # Create a dataframe with 'a' and 'b' df <- data.frame(a, b) # Split df into lists of rows nested <- split(df, cut(b, 4)) # Generate target dataframe target <- data.frame( 1st = sample(c("a", "b", "c", "d"), 100, replace = TRUE), 2nd = sample(c("a", "a", "a", "a"), replacement = TRUE, size = 100), b = rnorm(100) ) # Display expected output print(paste(nested, target)) Solution: We can use nested lapply to get the ‘b’ column from each list and then cbind it with target.
