Course Description

As the saying goes, “A chart is worth a thousand words”. This is why visualization is the most used and powerful way to get a better understanding of your data. After this course you will have a very good overview of R time series visualisation capabilities and you will be able to better decide which model to choose for subsequent analysis. You will be able to also convey the message you want to deliver in an efficient and beautiful way.
