Welcome to the Exploristics 12 Plots of Christmas repository! In this project, we showcase a collection of 12 different plots created using R (& SAS) programming language to celebrate the holiday season.
These plots were featured on the rweekly , a weekly R newsletter curating the highlights of the the online R commmunity.
Each plot represents a unique visualization related to Christmas themes and data analysis. Here's a brief overview of the plots:
A bump chart of the relative UK Chart positions of 5 classic Christmas songs.
Does Santa use logistic regression to write the nice list?
An animation of showing time series data of Google Search Trends for "Brussels Sprout" in 2022.
A Step Chart showing the cumulative total of birds gifted from the Christmas Carol "12 Days of Christmas".
Use of Christmas tree icons to represent individual data points to show normal distribution that looks like Christmas tree.
Cryptic Quiz and DRY principle!
Christmas line chart that demonstrates Die Hard is categorically a Christmas Movie.
Use of brickr package 📦 to create a Exploristics Lego Logo Mosciac.
Bar chart of average UK spend on Christmas gifts per year. The use of labels using geom_text to look like bow is something I'm really proud of!

A word-cloud displaying the many names of Old Saint Nic!
