Introduction to ggplot2

Sarah Hosking will provide an introduction to ggplot2. See below for more information.

Ggplot2 is one the go-to plotting libraries in R. One reason is in ggplot2 it's easy to quickly iterate plots, making it a great tool for exploratory data analysis (EDA).

This introductory session will take you through a visual EDA of a dataset using ggplot2. We will cover:

• Single-variable analysis with histograms, boxplots, scatterplots and line graphs

• Multiple-variable analysis through faceting, colour grouping, and correlation matrices.

If time allows, we can also look at creating and plotting summary statistics.
