Looking at Data

Overview

The Looking at Data workshops will teach you a new way to explore your data. We will introduce exploratory data analysis, and teach about both static and dynamic/interactive graphics using R with ggplot and GGobi. More details

Attendees will get

• A CD containing:
  • all the software we use
  • an electronic copy of the course notes and presentations
• Printed course notes

All funds raised from these workshops will go to the GGobi Foundation, which supports research on interactive and dynamic graphics.
