Standing on the shoulders of giants

Last week, we reproduced plots made by each other. When preparing a manuscript for publication, we typically go through multiple drafts of a figure until it is just right. For this week’s meeting, you should go back and read through all of the solutions from last week. Once you have a better understanding of how to build each of the plots, choose one that (A) you didn’t originally contribute and (B) wasn’t one of the three you re-produced for last week’s homework.

Your mission is to take this plot as a starting point and elaborate upon it. Make it your own by changing whatever aspects you’d like and then add any finishing touches that you feel will make it publication-ready. Your plots will be posted on the R Club website as the solutions to this assignment.

Remember that the online ggplot2 documentation is your friend. Make it work!
