That is your final project in a nutshell. More details below. > >May be too long, but please do read >The final project for this class will consist of analysis on a dataset of your own choosing. The dataset may already exist, or you may collect your own data using a survey or by conducting an experiment. You can choose the data based on your interests or based on work in other courses or research projects. The goal of this project is for you to demonstrate proficiency in the techniques we have covered in this class (and beyond, if you like) and apply them to a novel dataset in a meaningful way. --- class: inverse, middle # Think smaller! --- ## Draw a christmas tree <img src="images/trees.png" width="45%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> .footnote[ .small[ [smarterpoland.pl/index.php/2017/12/christmas-trees](http://smarterpoland.pl/index.php/2017/12/christmas-trees/) ] ] --- ## Learn a new (simple) package and do something with it .hand[ "You gotta pick a package or two" ] >Pick a package from the list below, and use it to do something. If you want to use a package not on this list, that’s also ok, but it needs to be a package we haven’t used in class. If you start with a package and are struggling to get it to work, ask for help on Piazza or just move to another one. Examples include **babynames**, **prenoms**, **janeaustenr**, **plotly**, **flametree**, **ggbarf**, etc. --- ## Make an ugly ggplot2 .hand[ "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the ugliest of them all?" ] .pull-left[ <img src="images/irnbru.png" width="40%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> ] .pull-right[ <img src="images/trex.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> ]
