Last week, I was at a GRAD school in Brighton. These schools, specifically aimed at PhD students, teach the skills missing from postgraduate study, such as team-working, negotiation, communication, and marketing. This might sound a but woolly, but if you are a PhD student in the UK, I really recommend going to one.
Tom, Dick, and Harry are collaborating on a paper. Tom, being the PhD student, does all the work and then writes the paper. Tom then sends a copy to Dick and Harry who edit it with their opinions. Unfortunately Dick completely removes the second paragraph of the discussion, while Harry expands it. Both then send their edited copies back to Tom.
I think the title says it all. If you have two populations such as “Treatment” and “Control”, what type of graphs can you use to compare the two? Have a look at the examples, then pick the corresponding R code.
All of the charts come from either excellent the lattice package, or the superb ggplot2 package. The code should also work for multiple populations as well.
Back from a weeks holiday in Hungary just in time for my, hopefully, last ever year as a student. Last month I had a flurry of work completing a report and poster for the end of my second year, but now I’m aiming to work hard and try and get at least two papers out in my final year: in time to write up my thesis.
But now, to coincide with the beginning of the academic year, and the time that new PhD and Masters students start, I thought I would share some the resources that I found useful through out the course of my own Masters degree, then first two years of PhD.
