MACS 40700 - Data Visualization

Description of the Repository

This repository contains all homework sets, a midterm- and a final project for Dr. Benjamin Soltoff's (@bensoltoff) course on Data Visualization at @uchicago, which I completed during the Spring quarter of 2022 as part of the Masters of Arts Program in the Social Sciences (MAPSS). Over the course of nine weeks, I gained an understanding of core principles of designing and creating effective data visualizations, learned to use visualizations for the evaluation of statistical models and for statistical inference, and mastered R -- especially ggplot2 -- through the creation of powerful static and dynamic data visualizations. You can find all information on the course (including a detailed syllabus and list of assignments) on the course website. If you have any questions about the code in this repository, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Structure of the Repository

This repository contains three major subdirectories, homework_sets, midterm_project, and final_project. The midterm and final projects were collaborative efforts, while homework sets were completed invidually. You can find specific information on each of the assignments in the README.md files of each subdirectory, or on the course website.

Theoretical Foundations

Leland Wilkinson's The Grammar of Graphics presents the theoretical core of this class, while Hadley Wickham's ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis is used as a hands-on toolkit for creating visualizations in accordance with the principles laid out by Wilkinson using R and ggplot2.
