Biography/History:

Teutonico Donato: Donato Teutonico has received his PharmD degree from the University of Turin, Italy, where he specialized in chemical and pharmaceutical technology, and his PhD in pharmaceutical sciences from Paris-South University, France. He has several years of experience in the modeling and simulation of drug effects and clinical trials in industrial and academic settings. Donato has contributed to numerous scientific projects and publications in international journals. In his work, he has been extensively using R for modeling, data analysis, and data visualization. He is the author of two R packages for pharmacometricscts-template and panels-for-pharmacometricsboth of which are available on Google Code. He has also been a reviewer for Packt Publishing and is the author of Instant R Starter, Packt Publishing.

Summary:

This book is perfect for R programmers who are interested in learning to use ggplot2 for data visualization, from the basics up to using more advanced applications, such as faceting and grouping. Since this book will not cover the basics of R commands and objects, you should have a basic understanding of the R language.
