Kursbeskrivning
This course will teach you how visually explore data in R, and how to create great-looking graphics using the powerful ggplot2 package.
We´ll also discuss cluster analysis, including hierarchichal and centroid-based methods, factor analysis and structural equation models (SEM), used to measure and analyse the relationship between observed and hidden variables, as well as mediation analysis.
Topics covered include outlier detection, visualisation of trends, and multivariate data. It also covers dimension-reduction of complex data using principal component analysis (PCA). Cluster analysis is used to find subgroups in exploratory analyses of your data. SEM allows us to study causal relationships between variables in our data and latent (unobservable) variables, such as difficult-to-measure attitudes. Mediation analysis is used to understand the mechanism behind causal relationships.
