Overview
Graphics for Statistics and Data Analysis with R presents the basic principles of sound graphical design and applies these principles to engaging examples using the graphical functions available in R. It offers a wide array of graphical displays for the presentation of data, including modern tools for data visualization and representation.
The book considers graphical displays of a single discrete variable, a single continuous variable, and then two or more of each of these. It includes displays and the R code for producing the displays for the dot chart, bar chart, pictographs, stemplot, boxplot, and variations on the quantile-quantile plot. The author discusses nonparametric and parametric density estimation, diagnostic plots for the simple linear regression model, polynomial regression, and locally weighted polynomial regression for producing a smooth curve through data on a scatterplot. The last chapter illustrates visualizing multivariate data with examples using Trellis graphics.
Showing how to use graphics to display or summarize data, this text provides best practice guidelines for producing and choosing among graphical displays. It also covers the most effective graphing functions in R. R code is available for download on the book’s website.

The author states that it can be used as a textbook for a dedicated course on graphical data analysis or as a supplementary text in courses in statistics and data analysis. My general reaction is that it succeeds in these goals. … The book is impressive for the sheer number of graphs … these graphs are quite well done …
—Biometrics, 67, September 2011
The emphasis in the book is on graphs for single discrete and continuous variables and bivariate relationships thereof, and it is very thorough in that regard. … The author also gives a lot of attention to detail … quite suitable as a course textbook, either as a supplementary text for a regular statistics course or as the main text for a specialized course on graphical methods. … The book certainly achieves its goal, increasing graphicacy, that is, the ability to display and exchange information with graphics. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about graphical displays of quantitative information.
