BioTech 76: Creating Plots, Graphs and Maps Using R
June 5-8, 2018
- Registration occurs on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline for registration is one week before the first day of the course. If you are unable to register before the deadline, please email: training@faes.org or call 301-496-7977 for space availability.
- NIH Only: Payment approval and authorization is done through your AO or lab manager. Receiving lab approval does not constitute enrollment. Fellows or those being sponsored by their lab can enroll using this form while waiting for authorization of payment.
Background:
R is the industry standard for creating scientific graphs and plots. There are several different R packages available for creating impressive plots, graphs and maps including plotly, ggplot2, ggvis, diagrammer - for diagrams, dygraphs - for time series data, leaflet - for plotting maps, graphviz - for graphs. This training will walk through participants in creating awesome, interactive, static, shareable plots using the popular R packages.
Objectives:
Participants will get a brief hands-on introduction to the R platform, followed by hands-on walkthrough for creating several different popular plots, graphs and maps like scatter plots, density plots, correlation plots, pca plots, surface plots, dot plots, star plots, circular plots, trees, heatmaps, panel graphs, 3D graphs, network graphs. We will start from formatting data and go all the way to loading data, setting parameters, creating the images and saving the outputs.
Highlights:
Participants will work with RStudio. A copy of all the scripts used in the class to create plots, graphs and maps would be provided to the participants at the end of the training. Participants will also receive a cookbook style manual for all the hands-on exercises. After training support is also provided through exclusive members only forum.
Who should attend:
Researchers and academics who are aspiring to learn to create scientific plots, graph and maps using R.
Clinicians and biomedical students interested in learning the ways and means to visualize their data using R.
Scientists in program administrations interested in learning the standard tools and techniques used for R based data visualization.
Prerequisites:
Participants should be comfortable with basic computer skills.
