Creating Visualizations in R Using ggplot2: R Playbook
This course will teach you how to create visualizations for a variety of datasets. From box plots and bar charts to a scatter plot matrix and a geographic map, make an impact efficiently in businesses and organizations.
What you'll learn
Creating great visuals can be time consuming without proper goals made. In this course, Creating Visualizations in R Using ggplot2: R Playbook, you will gain the ability to create powerful visuals that fit your dataset and business goals. First, you will learn simple charts for one variable. Next, you will discover more complex charts with two or more variables. Finally, you will explore how to create a map with geo spatial data. When you're finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of visualizations needed to present insights to your audience.
