Overview of this book

Hands-On Exploratory Data Analysis with R will help you build a strong foundation in data analysis and get well-versed with elementary ways to analyze data. You will learn how to understand your data and summarize its characteristics. You'll also study the structure of your data, and you'll explore graphical and numerical techniques using the R language. This book covers the entire exploratory data analysis (EDA) process—data collection, generating statistics, distribution, and invalidating the hypothesis. As you progress through the book, you will set up a data analysis environment with tools such as ggplot2, knitr, and R Markdown, using DOE Scatter Plot and SML2010 for multifactor, optimization, and regression data problems. By the end of this book, you will be able to successfully carry out a preliminary investigation on any dataset, uncover hidden insights, and present your results in a business context.

Exploration using graphics

In this section, we will focus on exploring the dataset graphically using a scatter plot, 6-plot, linear correlation plot, linear intercept plot, linear slope plot, and linear residual standard deviation plot.

We will implement the following steps to begin exploration of the data using a graphical structure:

  1. This step is intended to depict the scatter plot in two ways. The following scatter plot shows the relationship between the refractive index and the sodium content of glass types:
> plot(GlassDataset$Na , GlassDataset$RI, xlab = 'Sodium Content', ylab = 'Refractive Index', main = 'Scatter plot for sodium content')

This gives us the following output plot:

  1. The other way to depict the scatter plot is with the help of the ggplot2 package or library, which is achieved by executing the following command:
