In the book, major R systems for visualization are discussed, organized by topic and not by system. Anyone doing data analysis will be shown how to use R to generate any of the basic visualizations with the R visualization systems. Further, this book introduces the author's lessR system, which always can accomplish a visualization with less coding than the use of other systems, sometimes dramatically so, and also provides accompanying statistical analyses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents thorough coverage of the leading R visualization system, ggplot2.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eGives specific guidance on using base R graphics to attain visualizations of the same quality as those provided by ggplot2.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eShows how to create a wide range of data visualizations: distributions of categorical and continuous variables, many types of scatterplots including with a third variable, time series, and maps.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInclusion of the various approaches to R graphics organized by topic instead of by system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the recent work on interactive visualization in R.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid W. Gerbing\u003c\/b\u003e received his PhD from Michigan State University in 1979 in quantitative analysis, and currently is a professor of quantitative analysis in the School of Business at Portland State University. He has published extensively in the social and behavioral sciences with a focus on quantitative methods. His lessR package has been in development since 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid W. Gerbing has a Quantitative Methods B.A. from Western Washington State College, and M.A. from Michigan State University, and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University. Dr. Gerbing teaches statistics, quantitative methods, and business research techniques. His research interests are in the areas of quantitative analysis, multivariate statistics, and behavioral measurement and assessment. Currently his primary interest is in the increasing the accessibility of the R programming language for data science so that non-programmers can access the free, open source data analysis system without a steep learning curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 12, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42740067663935,"sku":"9781138599635","price":225.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/e14ba6a0ddac80f8ddd25b894a2f5e59.webp?v=1765158787","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/r-visualizations-derive-meaning-from-data-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
