During this learning journey, I have developed a clear understanding of key concepts and skills for data visualization:
- Comparisons vs. Compositions
Differentiated between visualizing comparisons (showing differences between categories) and visualizing compositions (showing parts of a whole).
Learned to identify appropriate chart types for these two types of analysis.
- Bar Charts
- Created and customized bar charts for comparing categorical data using
geom_col()
,geom_errorbar()
, and position adjustments.
- Pie Charts
- Designed and customized pie charts to visualize compositions using
coord_polar()
withgeom_col()
.
These skills have enhanced my ability to present data effectively for comparison and composition analysis using {ggplot2}
.
