Do you like to
learn how to produce statistical plots of data using the R language and
environment for statistical computing and graphics?
We will cover the
creation of standard plots such as scatterplots, bar plots, histograms, and
boxplots and we will spend some time on the underlying model used to produce
plots in R so that you can extensively customize these plots. We will also look
at producing Trellis plots in R and how to customize them.
Finally, we will
introduce the grid graphics system and look at producing unique plots from the
ground up using basic components.
Learn all this
and more with Dr. Paul Murrell’s online course Graphics in R at
Statistics.com. For more details please visit at http://www.statistics.com/graphicsR/.
Who Should
Take This Course:
Anyone who needs to produce displays of data,
whether for exploratory or confirmatory analysis. R graphics is particularly
suited to producing publication-quality plots, so this course is particularly
useful for anyone who needs to produce articles or reports or even web sites
containing plots.
Course Program:
Course outline: The course is structured as follows
SESSION 1: Basic Plots
- An
overview of R Graphics
- Functions
for producing standard plots
- Controlling
colour, fonts, etc
SESSION 2: Customising Plots

Association, and is an Associate Editor for Computational Statistics and The
Journal of Statistical Software.
Participants can ask questions and exchange
comments with Dr.
Paul Murrell via
a private discussion board throughout the period. The
course takes place online at statistics.com in a series of 4 weekly lessons and
assignments, and requires about 15 hours/week. Participate at your own
convenience; there are no set times when you are required to be online.
