商品描述

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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《使用 R 和 JavaScript 进行专业数据可视化》使 R 语言易于理解,并推广了数据收集和分析的理念。您将了解如何使用 R 来查询和分析数据,然后使用 D3 JavaScript 库以优雅、信息丰富和交互方式格式化和显示数据。您将学习如何有效地收集数据,以及如何理解每种图表的哲学和实现,以便能够以可视化的方式呈现结果。

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、统计学家或制图师的专属领域。作为技术领导者,我们可以收集我们所做的事情的指标,并使用数据可视化来传达这些信息。《使用 R 和 JavaScript 进行专业数据可视化》结合了 R 语言的强大功能和 JavaScript 的简单性和熟悉性,以清晰、信息丰富的数据可视化方式展示数据。

收集和分析经验数据是真正理解任何事物的关键。我们可以跟踪产品在生产中的运营指标来量化其健康状况。我们可以跟踪项目的质量指标,甚至使用我们的数据来识别糟糕的代码。可视化这些数据使任何人都能阅读我们的分析,并轻松地深入了解数据所传达的故事。

您将学到什么:
- 如何全面理解如何收集和分析经验数据
- 如何使用数据可视化讲述数据的故事
- 哪种类型的数据可视化最适合您想要用数据讲述的故事
- R 语言的全面介绍,涵盖所有基本知识
- 如何使用 JavaScript 和 JavaScript 库构建交互式数据可视化
