 Module # 5 assignment



Your assignment is to produce your own visualization that capture the design element we covered in today's class: Part to Whole and Ranking via Plot.ly.Links to an external site.  
Here is the  Download data setthat contains two columns: Average Position and Time.
Try to explore this data set through Plot.ly.
Post your visualization on your blog and provide short description to the outcome. 
Just quick note, the Part of Whole is a design framework that have qualities but also disadvantages to capture the data, maybe describe thos   In your assignment, you can also use your own data  in order to design your visual graph based on this design framework.



For this assignment, I used Plotly within Rstudio. This provided me a lot more practice with not only this new interface Plotly, but also Rstudio itself.  


This is the data set with the values. 



I then used the install.packages and library functions to incorporate plot.ly into Rstudio.




This is the code for my first plot. 




This is my first plot. I believe this plot is the easiest to interpret. We are able to see the change in position over an allocated amount of time. 






This is another simple line plot that I made but instead it was directly on Plot.ly and not Rstudio.




Unfortunately, I think there are not enough values to really create interesting plots. So I decided to make up random values and create three hypothetical cars and their average position versus time. Below is the graph. 





Overall I enjoyed working with this data set to create visualizations in plotly and through the plotly package in Rstudio. However, due to the small sample set, it was pretty challenging to create more interesting graphs such as the ones shown on plotly. From the graphs (first and second), we are able to see there is  a quick acceleration at the beginning followed by a steady increase and then a consistent speed as it levels out towards the end.

What Affects College Graduation Rates? LIS4317 Final Project After a long semester, we have reached the end of LIS4317, Visual Analytics! Using what I have gained from this course, I will establish work that will represent the numerous topics covered. The best way to accomplish this is by answering a question or issue that I am experiencing in my own life. In a few short days, I am expected to graduate from the University of South Florida. A challenging, but rewarding experience to which I will be forever grateful for. However, this brought upon the question of college graduation and the hurdles that come along with completion. What factors play into an individual graduating? How many people actually graduate from college? Do specific locations lead to more college graduates? How much does financial aid impact the graduation process? Using this dataset titled  College Completion Dataset , from Kaggle, I will answer these questions through various visualization methods.  The so...

  Your assignment is to create your first visual Social Network analysis. You can select from any two platforms you feel more comfortable with. The first is called  NodeXL Links to an external site. . It is based on Microsoft Excel support platform.

Your assignment: Create a simple animation and discussion the result in your blog posting.  Reference to Yihui Xie's and animation R package website, click  here . A note, his package now available via CRAM repository and not GitHub.  For Bryan's blog posting on Animation in R, click  here   A note: In order to post your work on blog, you need to save your animation. The code for saving the image you created in R is as follow: saveGIF({     for (i in 1:10) plot(runif(10), ylim = 0:1) }) Working on this assignment was incredibly interesting. Before this module, I had no idea we could create animations through R studio.  Below is an animation for the code that was given for this assignment.  > saveGIF({ + for (i in 1:10) plot(runif(10), ylim = 0:1) + }) Now I will focus on my rendition of an animation through R.  The first animation I created was a relatively simple one where I demonstrated an investment account after a cons...
