Week 11

Not much happened this week because of Thanksgiving, but I continued my research on protein active sites, motifs, residues, and the LuxS protein.

 Hello! This week I am learning about Multivariate graphs, and Maps. Multivariate graphs Similar to bivariate graphs, multivariate graphs are used to display 3 or more variables. The two most common ways to show the relationship between variables is grouping and faceting. Grouping Grouping lets you plot data for several groups on a single graph. The values of the first two variables are mapped to the x and y axis. The other variables are mapped according to color, shape, size, and other visual characteristics. This chapter in the book uses the salaries dataset that shows the relationship between years since receiving a Ph. D and salary. There are several options you can change. For example, you can change the shape of the elements representing the sex of the professors, and different colors to show what their job title was. You can even change the size of the elements. In the picture of the graph below, the element size represents years they have been working:  You can also ad...

 Hello! This week I read Chapter 4 in  Data Visualization of R by Rob Kabacoff.  Last week I read Chapter 3 on univariate graphs, which plot data about a single variable. Chapter 4 is about bivariate graph, which are used to show the relationship between 2 variables. The type of graph used depends on whether the variables are categorical or quantitative. Categorical vs. Categorical Much like a univariate graph, a bivariate graph typically uses various types of bar charts to display categorical data. There are 3 different types of bar charts used, and I'll display pictures of them all. This time, I am not going to go into detail about modifications such as color, size, etc. because it is the same as for univariate graphs. The data set used displays the relationship between automobile class and drive type: 4 wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive. Stacked bar chart The stacked bar chart is the default bar chart in R, so there are no special commands to use thi...

 Hello! This week I looked at both time-dependent graphs in chapter 7, and statistical models in chapter 8. Time-dependent Graphs Time-dependent graphs are used to show change over a period of time.  The most common graph type used is a time series line graph, but you an also use dumbbell charts and slope graphs. Time series Time series graphs are a set of quantitative values at different time points that are an equal length of time apart. The data used for this chapter is the Economics time series included in the ggplot2 package. This shows economic data from January 1967 through January 2015. Using the scale_x_date function, you can reformat the dates. Dumbbell charts Dumbbell charts are good for showing the change in time between 2 time points for several variables. This chart uses the geom_dumbbell function from the ggalt package. For some reason my RStudio is not liking the ggalt or the geom_dumbbell() function and it keeps giving me an error. I tried looking into it ...
