Pro Data Visualization using R and JavaScript

Book Description

Pro Data Visualization using R and JavaScript makes the R language approachable, and promotes the idea of data gathering and analysis. You’ll see how to use R to interrogate and analyze your data, and then use the D3 JavaScript library to format and display that data in an elegant, informative, and interactive way. You will learn how to gather data effectively, and also how to understand the philosophy and implementation of each type of chart, so as to be able to represent the results visually.

With the popularity of the R language, the art and practice of creating data visualizations is no longer the preserve of mathematicians, statisticians, or cartographers. As technology leaders, we can gather metrics around what we do and use data visualizations to communicate that information. Pro Data Visualization using R and JavaScript combines the power of the R language with the simplicity and familiarity of JavaScript to display clear and informative data visualizations.

Gathering and analyzing empirical data is the key to truly understanding anything. We can track operational metrics to quantify the health of our products in production. We can track quality metrics of our projects, and even use our data to identify bad code. Visualizing this data allows anyone to read our analysis and easily get a deep understanding of the story the data tells.

What you’ll learn

• A rich understanding of how to gather, and analyze empirical data
• How to tell a story with data using data visualizations
• What types of data visualizations are best to use for the story that you want to tell with your data
• A comprehensive introduction to the R language, covering all the essentials
• Exploration of how to construct interactive data visualizations using JavaScript and JavaScript libraries

Who this book is for

Developers at all levels interested in data visualization, beginning to intermediate engineering managers, statisticians, mathematicians, economists and any others interested in data visualization.

书名：基于R和Java的Pro数据可视化

基于R和Java的Pro数据可视化 使R语言变得易懂，并促进数据收集和分析的想法。您将看到如何使用R来询问和分析数据，然后使用D3 JavaScript库来以优雅、信息丰富和交互的方式格式化和显示数据。你将学习如何有效地收集数据，以及如何理解每种图表的原理和实现，以便能够直观地表示结果。

随着R语言的流行，创建数据可视化的艺术和实践不再是数学家、统计学家或制图员的专属。作为技术领导者，我们可以围绕我们所做的工作收集指标，并使用数据可视化来交流信息。 基于R和Java的Pro数据可视化 将R语言的强大功能与JavaScript的简洁性和熟悉性结合在一起，以显示清晰且信息丰富的数据可视化。

收集和分析经验数据是真正理解任何事情的关键。我们可以跟踪运营指标，以量化我们产品在生产中的健康状况。我们可以跟踪我们项目的质量指标，甚至可以使用我们的数据来识别错误代码。将这些数据可视化，任何人都可以阅读我们的分析，并轻松地深入了解数据所讲述的故事。

你会学到什么

• 对如何收集和分析经验数据有丰富的理解
• How to tell a story with data using data visualizations
• 对于您想要通过数据讲述的故事，最适合使用哪些类型的数据可视化
• 全面介绍R语言，涵盖所有要点
• 探索如何使用JavaScript和JavaScript库构建交互式数据可视化

这本书是为谁而写的

对数据可视化感兴趣的所有级别的开发人员，从初级到中级工程经理、统计学家、数学家、经济学家和任何其他对数据可视化感兴趣的人。
