NUMBAT Workshop: Tidy time series analysis and forecasting

This tutorial is for data analysts and statisticians who work regularly with data and want to improve their ability to make effective data visualisations. You will learn general principles that can get you off to a good start in making a data plot, and how to use these to layer up to a more effective communication. It will be hands-on, so we will code together and make the plots and improve them. There will be an opportunity to bring your own plot and data, and work together on making it better.

Presenter: Dianne Cook, a Professor of Statistics at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, is a global leader in data visualisation. She has delivered over 100 invited talks internationally and published extensively on various aspects of data visualisation. Dr. Cook is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, an elected member of the International Statistical Institute, past editor of the Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, and the R Journal. She has served as a Board Member of the R Foundation and is currently the co-chair of the Statistical Computing and Visualisation Section of the Statistical Society of Australia.

Background: You should have a basic understanding of R, be familiar with tidy data, and know how to use ggplot2. It’s also helpful if you’ve read the material in R4DS and taken a first-year statistics course.
