Study Notes
Data Analysis Fundamentals
- The first step in most data analysis is data exploration, which involves examining the dataset to understand its structure, patterns, and anomalies.
- Visualizing data before fitting it to a model helps identify relationships, trends, and outliers, which can inform model selection and improve accuracy.
Visualization Tools in R
- The
plot()function in R is used to create scatter plots, allowing users to visualize the relationship between two quantitative variables. - For the chapter's examples, the
ggplot2package is commonly utilized, providing advanced graphical capabilities and flexibility.
Output of Plotting Functions
- Providing a numeric or integer vector to the
plot()function generates a simple scatter plot, illustrating the distribution of data points indexed by their position in the vector.
