For visualising hierarchical data a treemap can also work well. For example, using the treemap package: n <- 1000 library(data.table) library(treemap) dta <- data.table(   level1 = sample(LETTERS[1:5], n, replace = TRUE),   level2 = sample(letters[1:5], n, replace = TRUE),   level3 = sample(1:

Really this depends on the analysis you want to perform. In the past, I have used a super/sub two-column format as a compact, non-redundant representation for data entry, and after applying a recursive algorithm to convert this to a super/sub/level/id table where _all_ sub components have (dupl

There is a kind of data I run into fairly often which I have never known how to represent in R, and nothing I've tried really satisfies me. Consider for example ... - injuries ... - injuries to limbs ... - injuries to extremities ... - injuries to hands - i
