Sentiment about COVID-19 vaccinations versus vaccination rate

These are the accompanivsdv script and datasets for my sentiment and linear regression analysis.

The script:

Fully writen in R, this script executes the entire research. It has 6 different steps:

1. Loading and cleaning the data
2. Perform the sentiment analysis
3. Localize the tweets - Please note that this takes a long time to do. For every tweet the OpenStreetMap API is called.
4. Analyses of usable tweets
5. Perform linear regression
6. Optimization of the model

The data:

All the datasets are collected and made public by Gabriel Preda on Kaggle. The datasets I used were created at 22-06-2021. If you require this data, the Twitter data can be found here and the vaccination data is available at this location.
