Welcome to the Advanced Data Visualisation with R Workshop!
This workshop is organised by Statistical Society of Australia Canberra Branch and delivered by Prof Di Cook and Dr Emi Tanaka.
Are you familiar with how to use ggplot2 for creating graphics? Do you want to delve deeper into advanced programming with ggplot2, extend your plots with interactivity and embed them in a web app? In this workshop, we teach about the internals of the ggplot2, meta-programming concepts to help you program with ggplot2, and deliver web apps for flexible and effective data visualisation.
Dianne Cook is Professor of Business Analytics at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. She is a world leader in data visualisation, especially the visualisation of high-dimensional data using tours with low-dimensional projections, and projection pursuit. She is currently focusing on bridging the gap between exploratory graphics and statistical inference. Di is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, past editor of the Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, current editor of the R Journal, elected Ordinary Member of the R Foundation, and elected member of the International Statistical Institute.
Emi Tanaka is a Lecturer in Statistics at Monash University and the incoming President of SSA Vic. She is currently working on a statistical theory for conducting inference using data plots and is an early career researcher in multi-level modelling, and experimental design. She is an experienced and enthusiastic R user and instructor, and regularly teaches university courses and workshops to the broader community on data visualisation, including ggplot2.
