R code for detailed analysis

  • The code calculates the difference in number of asthmas due to dampness, between policies being successful or not and compared to the initial year of 2010.
BP <- op_baseGetData("opasnet_base", "Op_en4068")
asthma <- op_baseGetData("opasnet_base", "Op_en4723")
BParray <- DataframeToArray(BP)
asthmaxBP <- IntArray(asthma, BParray, "Successful")
array <- DataframeToArray(asthmaxBP)
final <- apply(array, c(6,8,7,3), mean, na.rm=TRUE)
final <- apply(final, c(1,2,3), sum, na.rm=TRUE)
final <- final[,"1",]-final[,"0",]
final <- final[,]-final[rep(1,4),]
barplot(final, beside=TRUE, legend.text=c("2010","2020","2030","2050"))
