Visualizing Categorical Data

Visualization techniques, data sets, summary and inference procedures aimed particularly at categorical data. Special emphasis is given to highly extensible grid graphics. The package was package was originally inspired by the book "Visualizing Categorical Data" by Michael Friendly and is now the main support package for a new book, "Discrete Data Analysis with R" by Michael Friendly and David Meyer (2015).

Visualizations of Paired Comparisons

Convert a logical vector or a vector of p-values or a correlation, difference, or distance matrix into a display identifying the pairs for which the differences were not significantly different. Designed for use in conjunction with the output of functions like TukeyHSD, dist (stats), simint, simtest, csimint, csimtest (multcomp), friedmanmc, kruskalmc (pgirmess).

Spatial Visualization with ggplot2

A collection of functions to visualize spatial data and models on top of static maps from various online sources (e.g Google Maps and Stamen Maps). It includes tools common to those tasks, including functions for geolocation and routing.

Classification and Visualization

Miscellaneous functions for classification and visualization, e.g. regularized discriminant analysis, sknn() kernel-density naive Bayes, an interface to 'svmlight' and stepclass() wrapper variable selection for supervised classification, partimat() visualization of classification rules and shardsplot() of cluster results as well as kmodes() clustering for categorical data, corclust() variable clustering, variable extraction from different variable clustering models and weight of evidence preprocessing.

Manipulate and Visualize VCF Data

Facilitates easy manipulation of variant call format (VCF) data. Functions are provided to rapidly read from and write to VCF files. Once VCF data is read into R a parser function extracts matrices of data. This information can then be used for quality control or other purposes. Additional functions provide visualization of genomic data. Once processing is complete data may be written to a VCF file (*.vcf.gz). It also may be converted into other popular R objects (e.g., genlight, DNAbin). VcfR provides a link between VCF data and familiar R software.

Visualization and Imputation of Missing Values

Provides methods for imputation and visualization of missing values. It includes graphical tools to explore the amount, structure and patterns of missing and/or imputed values, supporting exploratory data analysis and helping to investigate potential missingness mechanisms (details in Alfons, Templ and Filzmoser, . The quality of imputations can be assessed visually using a wide range of univariate, bivariate and multivariate plots. The package further provides several imputation methods, including efficient implementations of k-nearest neighbour and hot-deck imputation (Kowarik and Templ 2013, , iterative robust model-based multiple imputation (Templ 2011, ; Templ 2023, ), and machine learning–based approaches such as robust GAM-based multiple imputation (Templ 2024, ) as well as gradient boosting (XGBoost) and transformer-based methods (Niederhametner et al., ). General background and practical guidance on imputation are provided in the Springer book by Templ (2023) .

Visualize R Data Structures with Trees

A set of tools for inspecting and understanding R data structures inspired by str(). Includes ast() for visualizing abstract syntax trees, ref() for showing shared references, cst() for showing call stack trees, and obj_size() for computing object sizes.

Visualization Methods for Raster Data

Methods for enhanced visualization and interaction with raster data. It implements visualization methods for quantitative data and categorical data, both for univariate and multivariate rasters. It also provides methods to display spatiotemporal rasters, and vector fields. See the website for examples.

Data Visualization Tools for Statistical Analysis Results

Unified plotting tools for statistics commonly used, such as GLM, time series, PCA families, clustering and survival analysis. The package offers a single plotting interface for these analysis results and plots in a unified style using 'ggplot2'.

Interface to 'D3' Visualizations

Suite of tools for using 'D3', a library for producing dynamic, interactive data visualizations. Supports translating objects into 'D3' friendly data structures, rendering 'D3' scripts, publishing 'D3' visualizations, incorporating 'D3' in R Markdown, creating interactive 'D3' applications with Shiny, and distributing 'D3' based 'htmlwidgets' in R packages.
