Outline
• Research Question: What determines
height?
• Data Input
• Look at One Variable
• Compare Two Variables
• Children’s Height and Parents Height
• Children’s Height and Gender
• Graphic Packages: ggplot2
What factors are most responsible for height?

ggplot2
In ggplot2 a plot is made up of layers.
Pl o t
ggplot2
library(ggplot2)
h.gg <- ggplot(h, aes(child))
h.gg + geom_histogram(binwidth = 1 ) + labs(x = "Height", y = "Frequency")
h.gg + geom_density()
ggplot2
h.gg <- ggplot(h, aes(child)) + theme(legend.position = "right")
h.gg + geom_density() + labs(x = "Height", y = "Frequency")
h.gg + geom_density(aes(fill=factor(gender)), size=2)
Box Plot
Children’s Height vs. Gender
boxplot(h$child~gender,data=h, col=(c("pink","lightblue")),
main="Children's Height by Gender", xlab="Gender", ylab="")
Descriptive Stats: Box Plot
Subset Males
men<- subset(h, gender=='male')
Subset Females
women <- subset(h, gender==‘female')
Children’s Height: Males
hist(men$childHeight)
Children’s Height: Females
hist(women$child)
ggplot2
library(ggplot2)
h.bb <- ggplot(h, aes(factor(gender), child))
h.bb + geom_boxplot()
h.bb + geom_boxplot(aes(fill = factor(gender)))
