Online Workshop on ‘Data Handling, Cleaning, Visualization and Statistical Analysis in R for Public Health Professionals

    Background

    Data visualization is the representation of information embedded in the data, in the graphical forms. It is one of the most impactful way to communicate the story hidden behind the complex data. In the world of Big Data, data visualization as a tool provides an accessible way to understand the patterns, highlighting the trends and outliers in the data. In this workshop, writing R codes to visualize data using charts, graphs and maps will be taught. Using programming language, one has the power to automate the process of creating charts, graphs and maps. This helps in creating similar graphs etc. with different datasets using same R codes. In this workshop, through lectures and hands-on exercise with health-related dataset, you will explore and learn how to choose best visualization for your dataset and how to interpret it.

    This workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to upgrade their skill of data visualization and learn basic to intermediate coding in R. This online workshop will be facilitated through CISCO WebEx on IIPH-Delhi platform, therefore, it requires stable internet connection and strong bandwidth to attend the sessions.
