Data wrangling and exploratory analysis of publicly available data about National Defence expenditures and defence procurement.
All part of my own journey of learning and leveraging data. All views are my own.
All government data is subject to Open Government Licence - Canada
See https://open.canada.ca/en/open-government-licence-canada for more detail
Repo includes:
import_wrangling_public_accounts.R contains code for import and wrangling of several years of public accounts detailed data tables for defence equipment expenditures and produces amo_2010to2019.rda
public_accts_amo_analysis.R is the analysis of the amo_2010to2019.rda object
DND_approp_and_expenditures_since_2011.R is exploratory analysis of National Defence voted appropriations and expenditures by fiscal year since 2011. It also includes a short analysis of expenditures by standard object.
defence_vendor_data.csv is a vendor name database that matches the names of many Government of Canada vendors identified in proactive disclosure contracts data with their parent companies. I have manually updated a vendor database that was produced by an Ottawa Civic Tech project to reflect many major defence supplier parent companies and some recent M&A activity.
wrangling_DND_contracts.R is a data import and wrangling script that creates a DND contract database for analysis.
DND_contract_analysis.RMD is the R markdown of an exploratory analysis of DND contract data from 2010 to Sept 2020.
DND_contract_analysis.pdf is the PDF version of the markdown document. I will look to update the analysis from time to time. (Latest update in Nov 2020.)
