nyc_restaurants_raw <- read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2018/2018-12-11/nyc_restaurants.csv")

nyc_restaurants <- nyc_restaurants_raw %>%
  filter(inspection_date != '01/01/1900')

What is the rate of “A” inspection grades by cuisine type?

First step is to compute the relevant statistics

cuisine_grades <- nyc_restaurants %>%
  select(cuisine_description, grade) %>%
  na.omit() %>%
  group_by(cuisine_description) %>%
  count(grade) %>%
  mutate(total = sum(n),
         pct_total = n/total) %>%
  ungroup()

Next we apply empirical Bayesian estimation and filter the top 20 results

ebb_cuisine_grades <- cuisine_grades %>%
  add_ebb_estimate(n, total) %>%
  filter(grade == "A") %>%
  arrange(desc(.fitted)) %>%
  filter(n >= 100) %>%
  head(20)

Plot the graph to compare raw vs Bayesian shrinkage

ebb_cuisine_grades %>%
  select(cuisine_description, 
         "Empirical Bayes Rate"=.fitted, 
         "Measured Rate"=.raw, .low, .high) %>%
  gather(key, value, -cuisine_description, -.low, -.high) %>%
  ggplot() + 
  geom_point(aes(reorder(cuisine_description, value), value, color = key), 
             size = 3) +
  geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = .low, ymax = .high, x=cuisine_description), 
                color = "gray50") +
