Course Description:

Learn data visualizations by working on projects that utilize real-world datasets from professional industries such as finance, marketing, and sales.

This course is designed to help you master data visualization techniques using R packages like ggplot2, the lattice package, and the ggvis package from shiny for interactive graphics. By leveraging these tools, you'll be able to create compelling visualizations that can interpret and present complex data with ease.

Why Learn Data Visualization with R?

Data Visualization is a powerful tool that helps people understand and interact with data. It makes complex information more accessible, allowing everyone—regardless of their expertise level—to grasp trends, outliers, and useful insights hidden within the data. In an age where Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are prevalent, visualization is crucial for making sense of the vast amounts of data generated every day.

R, with its powerful libraries, allows us to create visually appealing graphics with just a few lines of code. It's user-friendly, especially when it comes to data visualization, customizable graphics, and data analysis. With R, you can easily modify aspects like axes, fonts, legends, annotations, and labels.

Course Outline:

1. R for Beginners: Get comfortable with vectors, matrices, arrays, data frames, and lists.
2. Factors in R: Learn to create factors and understand factor levels.
3. Regular Expressions in R: Master the grep and gsub functions for text manipulation.
4. Reshape Package for Data Analysis: Use melt and cast functions to manipulate data structures.
