Game of Thrones Characters

Abstract

This is a dummy abstract which is not numbered and not in the table of content.

Introduction

This is a dummy project for the GEO 880 course of the University of Zurich which focuses on publishing HTML files.

We did some analysis on Game of Thrones (GOT) characters screen time compared to the amount of episodes they were in. See Figure 1 for an amazing plot. See Figure 3 (a) for an illustration of a banner, in Section 4.

Warning: Removed 15 rows containing missing values or values outside the scale range
(`geom_point()`).
