    MiddLab Data Workshops: Creating High Quality Graphics in R with ggplot2

    ggplot2 is a plotting package for R that makes it simple to create complex plots from data stored in a data frame. It provides a programmatic interface for specifying what variables to plot, how they are displayed, and general visual properties. Therefore, researchers only need minimal changes if the underlying data change or if they decide to change from a bar plot to a scatterplot. This helps in creating publication quality plots with minimal amounts of adjustments and tweaking.

    In this lesson, participants will learn:

    * The basic principles of the “grammar of graphics”

    MiddLab Data Workshops: Introduction to Text Mining in R

    Text mining is the process of transforming unstructured texts of all kinds (literary, scholarly, journalistic, scientific, etc.) into a form where the language of the documents can be analyzed. Using tidy data principles can help make these tasks easier, more efficient, and more interoperable with other tools. Luckily, R has packages that make this process work very well inside the R environment.

    In this lesson, participants will learn:

    * Some basic text mining/analysis concepts
    * How to transform texts (e.g. a novel) into a structured dataset ready to use in R
