3 Day 4 - tidyverse and visualizations
Learning Goals:
By the end of today’s session, students will be able to:
- Read in and process data starting from a local saved file.
- Transform, scale, filter, and convert values within a dataset.
- Manipulate data frames using tidyverse piping and functions.
- Reshape a data frame so that it is “tidy” and appropriate for a given analysis.
- Describe the roles of data, aesthetics, and geoms in ggplot functions.
- Choose the correct aesthetics and alter the geom parameters for a scatter plot, histogram, or box plot.
- Customize plot scales, titles, subtitles, themes, fonts, layout, and orientation.
- Layer multiple geoms in a single plot, including error bars for data analysis.
- Save a ggplot to a local file.
- Analyze dataset using a variety of statistical approaches.
Preparing for Today: Please make sure you have completed all readings and activities from Section 2: Day 3 - introduction to R. You will also have some time at the start of the day to do the first sections 3.1-3.2.
Before you start reading through Section 3 for today or taking part in synchronous activities, download and open today’s worksheet. On this Github page, please right-click the button that says “Raw” and click “Save Link As…” to get a local copy of this Rmd file on your computer and open it in Rstudio.
