Topic 2: Data Visualization (readings)

The readings for this topic are light: I want you to familiarize yourself with ggplot2. That means learning to use the search function on the website.

I also recommend reading

• Wickham, Hadley. 2010. “A Layered Grammar of Graphics”. Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, Volume 19, Number 1, Pages 3–28.

• Kahle, David and Hadley Wickham. 2013.'’ggmap: Spatial Visualization with ggplot2’’, The R Journal, 5(1).

• Gelman, Andrew. 2013. '’Choices in statistical graphics: My stories’’. Slides from presentation at New York Data Visualization Meetup.

• Gelman, Andrew and Antony Unwin. 2012. '’Infovis and Statistical Graphics: Different Goals, Different Looks’’.

Whenever you run into problems try searching Stackoverflow using the r and ggplot2 tags.
