This class covers the creation of data visualizations using the ggplot2 package in R. This is a flipped class and the third part of a series: Introduction to R; Data Wrangling in R, and Data Visualization in R. Upon registration, you will receive links to workshop materials (PowerPoint slides, lecture videos, and practice exercises) that you can view on your schedule. During the class, you will learn how to solve the exercise problems.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- create various graphical summaries of data
- describe the “grammar” of ggplot2 functions
- build custom visualizations with ggplot2
