Course Syllabus

Abstract

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with methods of visualizing statistical data. The students will get acquainted with the main principles of the graphical representation of data to be applied both in academic research and in business reporting. They will learn how to create graphs of univariate and multivariate variables, correlation matrices, time series, infographics, geographical maps, and basic animations using statistical programming language R.
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • By the end of the course, students should be able to use the tools of data visualization both in research (writing academic papers and presenting them at conferences) and in business (writing reports).
