Description:

This is a one day intensive course on advanced graphics with R. The standard plotting commands in R are known as the Base graphics. In this course, we cover more advanced graphics packages - in particular, ggplot2. The ggplot2 package can create very advanced and informative graphics. For example:

  • Mapping-electrical-activity-in-the-human-neocortex
  • Strainmeter offsets
  • Analysis of music

A basic knowledge of R is assumed for this course. In particular, attendees should be familiar with the topics covered in the introduction to R course. This course will be a mixture of lectures and computer practicals. The goal is to enable participants to apply the techniques covered to their own data. This course is suitable for all fields of work. Previous attendees include biologists, statisticians, accountants, engineers & students, i.e., anyone who uses a spreadsheet!
