SUMMARY:Center for Statistical Training & Consulting: Statistical Graphics and R
DESCRIPTION:
 This workshop is presented by Dr. William Jacoby 
 of the Department of Political Science. The 
 workshop will begin with a discussion of the 
 principles underlying effective graphical displays 
 and a tour of some specific graphical 
 methods for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate 
 data. But, most of the course will be 
 devoted to the R functions for reading data 
 and constructing various kinds of graphs (including 
 histograms, smoothed histograms, dot plots, 
 scatterplots, and trellis displays). We 
 also will cover many Atips and tricks for customizing 
 graphs to fit specific data analysis 
 situations. The format of the workshop will 
 include a lecture component to introduce basic 
 ideas, concepts, and examples. But, most of 
 the time will be devoted to hands-on training 
 in the computer laboratory, creating graphical 
 displays with the tools in R. The workshop 
 will break from Noon-1pm to allow time for 
 lunch. Please visit www.cstat.msu.edu to register.\n\n
