LIS 4317: Module #9 assignment


 LIS 4317: Module #9 assignment


The following matrix was constructed in ggplot2 using the 'iris' dataset:


Each plot in this scatterplot matrix is a combination of the two variables, sepal length and sepal width. We can compare the connections between variables across different species of iris by faceting the data points according to their species.


The 5 principles of design for this visualization that have been implemented in this graph have:

Ensured proper alignment of axis labels, data points, and facets to create a sense of order and organization in the plot. Each plot in the matrix was aligned properly with consistent axis labels.

Repeated design elements such as axis labels and facetting to create consistency and coherence throughout the visualization. Consistency in representation helped viewers understand the relationships between different variables and categories.

Utilized contrast to highlight important elements and relationships. Different colors were used for different species of iris to distinguish between them easily. This helped viewers identify patterns specific to each species.

Grouped related elements together to improve readability and comprehension. Data points representing the same species were grouped together within each facet. This proximity allowed viewers to compare the relationships between variables within each species.

Distributed elements evenly throughout the visualization to create a sense of equilibrium. Each facet in the scatterplot matrix contained enough data points to provide meaningful insights, and the visual weight of the plot was balanced by adjusting the size and spacing of facets.

LIS 4317 Final Project: Fuel Economy Data from the U.S Dept. of Energy

  LIS 4317 Final Project: Fuel Economy Data from the U.S Dept. of Energy Investigating the association between vehicle features and CO2 emissions in a dataset comprising fuel efficiency data is the issue statement for my final project. The objective is to ascertain the extent to which CO2 emissions differ among various vehicle classes. In order to evaluate the effects of automobiles on the environment and pinpoint possible areas where fuel efficiency regulations could be strengthened, further investigation is essential. The idea suggests that specific vehicle classes, like larger cars or ones with bigger engines, might have more CO2 emissions than other car classes. This issue is set within the larger framework of transportation research and environmental sustainability. The relationship between vehicle characteristics and emissions, particularly CO2 emissions, has been well studied in the past. Numerous techniques, such as statistical evaluations and graphics, have been used to in...

LIS 4317: Module #13 Assignment

  Module 13 Assignment A powerful visual representation of random sampling from a uniform distribution is provided by the animation produced with the animation package and the R programming language. The animation shows a plot of ten randomly selected values from the uniform distribution in each frame. The y-axis boundaries are always set between 0 and 1 to facilitate comparisons. As the animation goes on, viewers will be able to see how the generated numbers are distributed randomly and with variability; some frames show clustered dots, while others show a more scattered distribution. An interactive and dynamic element can be added to presentations, blog posts, or instructional materials by saving the animation as a GIF. This makes it easily shareable and a useful tool for presenting ideas connected to random sampling.  The plot() method is used to create scatter plots, and the Sys.sleep() function adds a little delay between frames to make sure the animation is visible. The ...

LIS 4370 - Module #3 Data Frame

  Module #3 Data Frame The dataset showed hypothetical results of the 2016 Presidential campaign. The dataset provided had a couple of mistakes that resulted in errors. Original Code: > Name <- c("Jeb", “Donald”, "Ted”, “Marco” “Carly”, “Hillary”, “Berine”) > ABC political poll results <- c(4, 62 51, 21, 2, 14, 15) > CBS political poll results <- c(12, 75, 43, 19, 1, 21, 19)  There  are missing commas in the "Name" vector, as well as in the "ABC political poll results" vector. Additionally, the names of the results vectors were not underscored, therefore they could not be interpreted in R. For the values to be interpreted, the code should look as follows: Modified Code: > Name <- c("Jeb", "Donald", "Ted", "Marco", "Carly", "Hillary", "Bernie") > ABC_political_poll_results <- c(4, 62, 51, 21, 2, 14, 15) > CBS_political_poll_results <- c(12, 75, 43,...
