LIS 4370 R Programming: More Matrices!

Matrices and working with matrices can be fun. While a lot of data science could be done without doing crazy math with matrices, there is a lot of complex and interesting analysis that is difficult without the use of them. Thus it is good to get plenty of practice using…

LIS 4370 R Programming: Matrices

This week we reviewed matrices. To be honest, when I first started learning R, I thought that this data structure was not very useful, the data frame can be used for a lot more data. However recently in LIS 4761 Intro to Data and Text Mining, I have been learning…

LIS 4317 Data Visualization: Adding Vector Graphics with Adobe Illustrator

This week I used Adobe Illustrator to add vector graphics to the data visualization I made last week. I added labels for major locations along the coastline to label the marina hotspots on the map. I also added a key to label the different colors on the map. The original…

LIS 4370 R Programming: Data Frames in R

This week I learned more about data frames in R. For this post I was given hypothetical sample election polling data. The data was originally in vectors, so I have kept it in that way. For this assignment I created an R Script which you can find on my GitHub…

LIS 4317 Data Visualization: Working with Geographic Data

As a sailor cruising up and down the coast, it is good to know where to expect services. Unfortunately it is not easy to find things like marinas or services on the charts. Unlike a road trip, planning where to go during the cruising season requires some knowledge of where…
