Displaying time series, spatial, and space time data with R

Code and Methods for Creating High-Quality Data GraphicsA data graphic is not only a static image, but it also tells a story about the data. It activates cognitive processes that are able to detect patterns and discover information not readily available with the raw data. This is particularly true for time series, spatial, and space-time datasets. Focusing on the exploration of data with visual methods, Displaying Time Series, Spatial, and Space-Time Data with R presents methods and R code for producing high-quality graphics of time serie.

  • ""Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 What this book is about A data graphic is not only an static image. It tells an story about the data. It activates cognitive processes which are able to detect patterns and discover information not readily available with the raw data. This is particularly true for time series, spatial and space-time data sets. There are several excellent books about data graphics and visual perception theory, with guidelines and advice for displaying information including visual examples. Let's mention "The elements of graphical data" [Cleveland, 1994] and "Visualizing Data" [Cleveland, 1993] byW. S. Cleveland, "Envisioning information" [Tufte, 1990] and "The visual display of quantitative information" [Tufte, 2001] by E. Tufte, "The functional art" by A. Cairo [Cairo, 2012], and "Visual thinking for design" by C.Ware [Ware, 2008]. Ordinarily they don't include the code or software tools to produce those graphics. On the other hand, there are a collection of books which provide code and detailed information about the graphical tools available with R. Commonly they do not use real data in the examples, and do not provide advice to improve graphics according to visualization theory. Three books are the unquestioned representatives of this group: "R Graphics" by P. Murrell [Murrell, 2011], "lattice" by D. Sarkar [Sarkar, 2008], and "ggplot2" by H. Wickham [Wickham, 2009]"--Del editor."
