As it has been said a picture is worth a thousand words and so it is with graphics too. 
A well constructed graph can summarize information collected from tens to hundreds or even thousands of data points. But not every graph has the same power to convey complex information clearly.
Underlying every statistical graph is a structure, also known as the grammar of graphics. While basic statistical graphics programs have you create a graph ready-made, advanced graphics programs allow you to specify each element of the grammar.
Understanding how this underlying grammar works not only allows you to think strategically about how to use graphs to communicate well, it also helps you appreciate and evaluate what is being communicated in graphs you encounter. This grammar of graphics also helps you decide which type of graphics may be better suited for the information at hand by focusing on each aspect of the plot like color, symbol, lines, points and layers, for example.
This training provides an overview of the grammar of graphics. Examples are demonstrated using a web-based R-shiny app to give you a visual structure to understand and apply the grammar. Members learn how to think about a grammar from which you can create complex graphs, whether in this app, R’s ggplot2, SPSS’s GPL, or other packages.
Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
