Project
• Generally excellent
• Common problems: lack of proof reading, lack of flow
• If you’re going to throw away 85% of the data, I want to know how that differs from the data that you kept

Project
• Don’t forget to set up a meeting time with me this week
• (I’ll be travelling from Saturday until when the project is due, so if you can’t meet with me this week, email Garrett to set up a time)

Exploratory graphics
Are for you (not others). Need to be able to create rapidly because your first attempt will never be the most revealing.
Iteration is crucial for developing the best display of your data.
Gives rise to two key questions:

What should I plot?How can I plot it?

Your turn
Identify the data and non-data on “Napoleon's march” and “Building an electoral victory”. Which features are the most important? Which are just useful background information?

Results

How many layers are on the plot?What data does each layer display? What sort of geometric object does it use? Is it a summary of the raw data? How are variables mapped to aesthetics?

Answer the following questions for “Napoleon's march” and “Flight delays”:How many layers are on the plot?What data does the layer display? How does it display it?

ResultsNapoleon’s march: (top) (1) path plot with width mapped to number of troops, colour to direction, separate group for each branch (2) labels giving city names (bottom) (1) line plot with longitude on x-axis and temperature on y-axis (2) text labels giving datesFlight delays: (1) white circles showing 100% cancellation, (2) outline of states, (3) points with size proportional to percent cancellations at each airport.

The grammar of graphics
An abstraction which makes thinking about, reasoning about and communicating graphics easier.
Developed by Leland Wilkinson, particularly in “The Grammar of Graphics” 1999/2005
You’ve been using it in ggplot2 without knowing it! But to do more, you need to learn more about the theory.

What is a layer?
• Data
• Mappings from variables to aesthetics (aes)
• A geometric object (geom)
• A statistical transformation (stat)
• A position adjustment (position)

Your turnFor each of the following plots created with qplot, recreate the equivalent ggplot code.
qplot(price, carat, data = diamonds)
qplot(hwy, cty, data = mpg, geom = "jitter")
qplot(reorder(class, hwy), hwy, data = mpg, geom = c("jitter", "boxplot"))
qplot(log10(price), log10(carat), data = diamonds), colour = color) + geom_smooth(method = "lm")

Go back to the descriptions of “Minard’s march” and “Flight delays” that you created before. Start converting your textual description to ggplot2 code.
