Session 10 Plotting with ggplot2
10.1 ggplot2:
As already mentioned these plots, although quick and useful, are not always the prettiest or easiest to manipulate for what you may want. An alternative to these in-built functions is \(\verb|ggplot|\), found in the package \(\verb|ggplot2|\). Take a look at Chapter 10 of R for Data Science: and work through all sections apart from 10.7.
10.2 Exploratory Data Analysis
Now that we are fully versed in how to visualise our data, we can try to begin to think about what to do in exploratory data analysis. Now work through sections 11.1 up to and including 11.4 from chapter 11.
