- Navigating RStudio
- Key R concepts and terminology
- Tidy Data
- Importing data from external files
- Subsetting and filtering data
- Split-Apply-Combine analysis workflow
- Creating variables
- Joining data tables
### Session 2: Data Visualization in R with ggplot2
Learn how to use ggplot2, a robust Tidyverse package used to create high quality graphics for exploring and communicating your data. We will go beyond basic graphs and learn how to customize and annotate our graphs for more effective storytelling. Participants will have the best experience if they attended session one in this series or have some previous experience with R and the Tidyverse.
Topics covered include:
- Visualization best practices Grammar of graphics
- ggplot2 layers, aesthetics, and geoms
- Choosing an effective graph type for your data
- Customizing labels, axes, legends, and more Choosing a color palette and themes
