Dear colleagues, Transmitting Science has a new course that might be of your interest: BUILDING BETTER GRAPHS WITH R: GGPLOT2 AND BASE
Instructors: Dr. Ashton Drew (KDV Decision Analysis LLC, USA) and Dr. Sheila Saia (United States Forest Service Center for Integrated Forest Science, USA). CHECK THE SCHOLARSHIPS: https://www.transmittingscience.org/funding/scholarships/ Dates: November 5th-9th, 2018 Place: Capellades, Barcelona (Spain) The goal of this course is to train students to create publication-quality graphics in R. The course will emphasize the relationships between data structure and graphical elements so students can apply what they learn to other R package extensions not covered in the course. A mix of lectures and in-class exercises provide a thorough overview of two primary graphics packages in R: base and ggplot2. In addition to plot customization basics (e.g., color, symbology), students will learn more advanced data visualization techniques (e.g., multiple axes, insets, transformations). The final day of the course is dedicated to guided practice; students may work with their own data or choose from our set of example projects. Learning Outcomes * Customize code from base and ggplot2 packages * Apply the “Grammar of Graphics” system underlying ggplot2 * Manage data structure with dplyr and tidyr to facilitate graphing * Write functions to automate data preparation and generate graphics * Transform default graphics into beautiful, customized, publication-quality graphics More information and registration: http://bit.ly/better-graphs-with-r-transmitting-science Best wishes Sole Soledad De Esteban-Trivigno,PhD.
