Visualize and analyse IMDB ratings with R (part 2)

This post is part of a series of posts to analyse the digital me.

In my previous post in this series I shared how I collect and store my personal ratings data from IMDB and enrich it with a few important variables about the movie.

In this post I will explore the data to learn about my movie preferences. I will be using some R packages to structure the data properly and other packages to build plots:

Getting my IMDB ratings with R and Rvest

I’m a big fan of IMDB and have been for many years. It is a fantastic website with a lot of information about movies, documentaries and tv-series.

Meet the digital me

This is likely the most self-centered blogpost you will read today, maybe even this year. Because this post is all about me, the digital me.

Just like all people these days, I leave a digital footprint. I use apps, digital services and websites to share my experiences with others, keep people posted of what I do and compare what I do with all the stuff other people do.
