Summer 2010 — R: ggplot2 Intro Contents Intro When it comes to producing graphics in R, there are basically three options for your average user. base graphics I've written up a pretty comprehensive description for use of base graphics here, and don't intend to extend beyond that. Both and make creating plots of multivariate data easier. The website for ggplot2 is here: Basics is meant to be an implementation of the Grammar of Graphics, hence gg-plot. Plots convey information through various aspects of their aesthetics. x position y position size of elements shape of elements color of elements The elements in a plot are geometric shapes, like points lines line segments bars text Some of these geometries have their own particular aesthetics. points point shape point size lines line type line weight bars y minimum y maximum fill color outline color text label value The values represented in the plot are the product of various statistics.

Physics The R Project Learning R R reference card developers:projects:gsoc2012:ropensci Summary: Dynamic access and visualization of scientific data repositories Description: rOpenSci is a collaborative effort to develop R-based tools for facilitating Open Science. Projects in rOpenSci fall into two categories: those for working with the scientific literature, and those for working directly with the databases. Visit the active development hub of each project on github, where you can see and download source-code, see updates, and follow or join the developer discussions of issues. Most of the packages work through an API provided by the resource (database, paper archive) to access data and bring it within reach of R’s powerful manipulation. See a complete list of our R packages currently in development. The student could choose to work on a package for a particular data repository of interest, or develop tools for visualization and exploration that could function across the existing packages.
Webinar | Introduction to R for Data Mining For a quick start: Find a way of orienting yourself in the open source R worldHave a definite application area in mindSet an initial goal of doing something useful and then build on it In this webinar, we focus on data mining as the application area and show how anyone with just a basic knowledge of elementary data mining techniques can become immediately productive in R. We will: Provide an orientation to R’s data mining resourcesShow how to use the "point and click" open source data mining GUI, rattle, to perform the basic data mining functions of exploring and visualizing data, building classification models on training data sets, and using these models to classify new data.Show the simple R commands to accomplish these same tasks without the GUIDemonstrate how to build on these fundamental skills to gain further competence in RMove away from using small test data sets and show with the same level of skill one could analyze some fairly large data sets with RevoScaleR
Cookbook for R » Cookbook for R Quick-R: Home Page Model visualisation. had.co.nz This page lists my published software for model visualisation. This work forms the basis for the third chapter of my thesis. classifly: Explore classification boundaries in high dimensions. Given p-dimensional training data containing d groups (the design space), a classification algorithm (classifier) predicts which group new data belongs to. clusterfly: Explore clustering results in high dimensions. Typically, there is somewhat of a divide between statistics and visualisation software. There are also some custom methods for certain types of clustering, mostly inspired by the work of Dr Dianne Cook: Self organising maps (aka Kohonen neural networks), ? meifly: Models explored interactively. Meifly is tool that uses R and GGobi to explore ensembles of linear models, where we look at all possible main effects models for a given dataset (or a large subset of these models). Installation Please make sure you have a current version of R and rggobi installed, then use the following R code:
Cookbook for R » Cookbook for R R Programming Welcome to the R programming Wikibook This book is designed to be a practical guide to the R programming language[1]. R is free software designed for statistical computing. How can you share your R experience ? Explain the syntax of a commandCompare the different ways of performing each task using R.Try to make unique examples based on fake data (ie simulated data sets).As with any Wikibook please feel free to make corrections, expand explanations, and make additions where necessary. Some rules : Prerequisites[edit] We assume that readers have a background in statistics. We also assume that readers are familiar with computers and that they know how to use software with a command-line interface.
