Course Goal / Objective
Data visualization is the process producing graphics from data in order to increase the clarity and comprehensibility of information. This process is a crucial step in reporting and presenting the scientific data because high quality graphics can significantly improve the probability of publication. R is an open source language and environment for statistical computing and recently, it is one of the most favorite software in data visualization. With thousands of libraries, R presents almost limitless options on producing graphics. This course will develop advanced skills in producing high quality R plots using base functions and ggplot library. Required R usage skills will be introduced during the course.
Course Content
Basics of R usage, grammar of R graphics, scatter plots, line plots and smoothers, box plots, bar charts and stacked bar charts, pie charts, mapping applications in R environment, bubble charts and word clouds, working with graphic layers and hybridize different graphic types, managing data labels and legends, enhancing visual quality with shapes, expressions and data tables, working with multiple plot grids
Course Precondition
Successful completion of a lecture on Introductory Level Statistics
Resources
