About
Just like last year, we are welcoming the new academic year with a hands-on introduction to R, this time with a focus on data visualization. As we promote gender diversity and inclusion in the R community, all genders and skill levels in R are welcome!
Abstract
This is a hands-on introduction to data visualization in R for beginners. You’ll learn how to prepare your data for plotting, create clear and attractive graphics with the R package ggplot2, and add interactive features using the plotly package.
