McCall Pitcher
Center for Data and Visualization Sciences Workshop Series

This is an intermediate {ggplot2} workshop designed both as an exploration of different ways to visualize Likert scale survey results and a tutorial on how to implement those approaches in R. We'll discuss benefits and drawbacks of three approaches: the 100% stacked bar, a custom distribution heatmap, and a custom jittered strip plot. You will walk away from the workshop with an expanded view of how your survey data can be visualized, along with reproducible code for each of the three visualization types that you can repurpose for your own projects. This event is open to non-Duke participants.
