Advanced Exploratory Visualization Techniques - ggplot2, plotly & purrr

Description:

Visualization is the butter and bread of data exploration and reporting. Unlike other domains, pharmaceutical analysis requires accurate and versatile plots due the necessity of gaining mechanistic understanding of the data. R ggplot2 package, R package build on top of grid system, has provided modelers and analysts a flexible, modular way to generate almost any customized plots with ease. As ggplot2 grow over time, the R packages ecosystem build on top of ggplot2 has exponentially increased. Additionally, R plotly, interactive visualization package wrapping JavaScript backend, provides a compelling interactivity to scrutinize the data to the max. By crafting compelling figures, we can unveil hidden patterns, accelerates decision-making and empowers informed actions. As R is a strongly functional programming language, coupling ggplot2 and plotly with map functions from purrr, R package specialized for functional programming, provides superb experience for users. This workshop aims to introduce hands-on advanced visualization concepts in R.
