This package wraps the awesome Datasaurus Dozen datasets. The Datasaurus Dozen show us why visualisation is important -- summary statistics can be the same but distributions can be very different. In short, this package gives a fun alternative to [Anscombe's Quartet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anscombe%27s_quartet), available in R as `anscombe`.

The original Datasaurus was created by Alberto Cairo. The other Dozen were generated using simulated annealing and the process

is described in the paper "Same Stats, Different Graphs: Generating

Datasets with Varied Appearance and Identical Statistics through

Simulated Annealing" by Justin

Matejka and George Fitzmaurice ([open access materials including manuscript and code](https://www.research.autodesk.com/publications/same-stats-different-graphs/), [official paper](https://doi.org/10.1145/3025453.3025912)).

In the paper, Justin and George simulate a variety of datasets that the same summary statistics to the Datasaurus but have very different distributions. 

```{r, out.width="600px", fig.alt="Sequential dinosaur gif", echo = FALSE}

knitr::include_graphics("https://damassets.autodesk.net/content/dam/autodesk/research/publications-assets/gifs/same-stats-different-graphs/DinoSequentialSmaller.gif")

```

## Install

The latest stable version is available on CRAN

```{r, eval = FALSE}

install.packages("datasauRus")

```

You can get the latest development version from GitHub, so use {devtools} to install the package

```{r, eval = FALSE}

devtools::install_github("jumpingrivers/datasauRus")

```

## Usage

You can use the package to produce Anscombe plots and more.

```{r datasets, fig.height=12, fig.width=9}

library("ggplot2")

library("datasauRus")

ggplot(datasaurus_dozen, aes(x = x, y = y, colour = dataset))+

  geom_point() +

  theme_void() +

  theme(legend.position = "none")+

  facet_wrap(~dataset, ncol = 3)

```
