Visualization in R with ggplot2

Aim of Course:

In this course, participants will learn how to use the ggplot R Project to make, format, label and adjust graphs using R. The ggplot2 Project, created by Hadley Wickham, is named after the term "Grammar of Graphics," which was coined by Leland Wilkinson (creator of Systat). This "grammar of graphics" is a system of describing and organizing the fundamental components of a graph and the process of creating a graph. Using ggplot2, participants will learn how to design and implement graphs in an efficient, elegant and systematic manner, following principles of general good graphing practice.

Who Should Take This Course:

Statistical analysts who use R and need to create or modify graphs.

The Instructor:

Dr. Hadley Wickham is the author of ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis (Use R) and a contributor to Cook & Swayne's Interactive and Dynamic Graphics for Data Analysis: Using R and GGobi (2007). His research interests include interactive and dynamic graphics, developing practical tools for data analysis, and in gaining better understanding of complex statistical models through visualization. An Assistant Professor at Rice University, Dr. Wickham has developed 15 R projects, and written numerous articles, chapters, and other papers and in 2006 he won the John Chambers Award for Statistical Computing for his work on the ggplot and reshape R packages.
