When data is presented to you in a graphical or pictorial format, you can analyze it more effectively. This book begins by introducing you to basic concepts, such as grammar of graphics and geometric objects. It then goes on to explain these concepts in detail with examples. Once you are comfortable with basics, you can learn all about the ...
Develop informative and aesthetic visualizations that enable effective data analysis in less time
Key Features
Discover structure of ggplot2, grammar of graphics, and geometric objects
Study how to design and implement visualization from scratch
Explore the advantages of using advanced plots
Book DescriptionApplied Data Visualization with R and ggplot2 introduces you to the world of data visualization by taking you through the basic features of ggplot2. To start with, you’ll learn how to set up the R environment, followed by getting insights into the grammar of graphics and geometric objects before you explore the plotting techniques.
You’ll discover what layers, scales, coordinates, and themes are, and study how you can use them to transform your data into aesthetical graphs. Once you’ve grasped the basics, you’ll move on to studying simple plots such as histograms and advanced plots such as superimposing and density plots. You’ll also get to grips with plotting trends, correlations, and statistical summaries.
By the end of this book, you’ll have created data visualizations that will impress your clients.
What you will learn
Set up the R environment, RStudio, and understand structure of ggplot2
Distinguish variables and use best practices to visualize them
Change visualization defaults to reveal more information about data
Implement the grammar of graphics in ggplot2 such as scales and faceting
Build complex and aesthetic visualizations with ggplot2 analysis methods
Logically and systematically explore complex relationships
Compare variables in a single visual, with advanced plotting methods
Who this book is forApplied Data Visualization with R and ggplot2 is for you if you are a professional working with data and R. This book is also for students who want to enhance their data analysis skills by adding informative and professional visualizations. It is assumed that you know basics of the R language and its commands and objects.
