As I work my way through Discovering Statistics Using R and discover other R-related gems across the internet, I realize that I’m only going to get better at this software if I spend time using it.
As such, I’m challenging myself to do a new visualization of a single database every day for the next 30 days – starting today, April 15, and ending May 15. The goal of this is to become more familiar with the R language, more specifically the ggplot2 library, and to think about visualizing data more generally.
The data set I’ll be using is the “Diamonds” data set package with ggplot2.
