Description
Book SynopsisThe six appendices will cover plots for contingency tables, plots for continuous variables, plots for data with a limited number of values, functions that generate multiple plots, plots for time series analysis, and some miscellaneous plots.
Table of Contents1) Introduction: plot(), qplot(), and ggplot(), Plus Somea) plot() – arguments, ancillary functions, and methods; par() and layout()b) qplot() and ggplot() – aesthetics, geometries, and other useful functionsc) other plotting functions in graphics and stats
