This is a research based book, focusing on: "Enhancing Data Interpretation through Visual Storytelling: An Applied Approach Using R and ggplot2". Eman Ahmad's book "Illuminating Data: A Hands-On Guide to Data Visualization in R" provides an exhaustive guide in using the R programming language to do data visualization. Key topics covered include types of data and variables, basic plots and advanced plots, basic and advanced descriptive statistics, and specific techniques for various types of data visualization. Each chapter explores tools like ggplot2, density plots, histograms, box plots, and Q-Q plots while introducing some foundational statistical concepts including distributions, quantiles, and percentiles. The aim is to focus on real-world application through R code examples, so that one is able to develop practical skills in visual data storytelling and includes a case study of the Gapminder dataset in real-world application.
