In week 2 we will focus on data visualization. We will explore why certain visualizations work better than others using a theoretical framework from perception. We will also play around with this during the lab. In addition, we will learn how to make more advanced plots utilizing a wide array of possibilities from
ggplot, like attaching labels to certain points in a graph and making semi-transparent density plots.
Complete and hand in questions 1 - 2 of the lab (at least 2 hours before the start of the lab), finishing the section “Part 1: to be completed at home before the lab”.
You can download the student zip including all needed files for practical 2 here. Don’t forget to open the project file
02_R_visualisation_students.Rproj. You can work from the Rmd filepractical_2_worksheet.Rmd(as the Rmarkdown code used to create this specific lab html file is very extensive, you will not work from it direclty).
This lab contains one bonus question that will allow you to earn one point for your individual homework (out of 10). Deadline for Question 10 is Friday May 10th at the end of the day.
