How to Download Only Transportation Companies from WRDS Using R and SQL Queries
Downloading Only Transportation Companies from the WRDS WRDS (Wharton Research Data Services) is a valuable resource for financial data, providing access to a wide range of datasets and tools for researchers and investors alike. One of the most popular datasets available on WRDS is CRSP.DSF, which contains daily returns and other financial data for US stocks listed on either the NYSE or NASDAQ exchanges. However, when working with this dataset, it can be challenging to isolate transportation companies, as the NSDINX code (which corresponds to transportation companies) is not included in the primary dataset.

Calculating Expression Frequency with R and Tidyverse: A Simple Solution to Analyze Genomic Data
Here is a high-quality code that solves the problem using R and tidyr libraries: # Load necessary libraries library(tidyverse) # Assuming 'data' is your original data data %>% count(Genes, levels, name = "total") %>% ungroup() %>% mutate(frequency = total / sum(total, na.rm = TRUE)) This code uses the count() function from the tidyr library to calculate the frequency of each expression level for each gene. The ungroup() function is used to remove the grouping by Gene and Levels, which was added in the count() step.
