Q
  • : These visuals show change in one or more quantities by plotting a series of data points over time and are frequently used within predictive analytics. Line graphs utilize lines to demonstrate these changes while area charts connect data points with line segments, stacking variables on top of one another and using color to distinguish between variables.

Q
  • : This graph plots a distribution of numbers using a bar chart (with no spaces between the bars), representing the quantity of data that falls within a particular range. This visual makes it easy for an end user to identify outliers within a given dataset

Q
  • : These visuals are beneficial in reveling the relationship between two variables, and they are commonly used within regression data analysis. However, these can sometimes be confused with bubble charts, which are used to visualize three variables via the x-axis, the y-axis, and the size of the bubble.
A

Scatter plots

17
Q
  • : These graphical representation displays are helpful in visualizing behavioral data by location. This can be a location on a map, or even a webpage.
A

Heat maps

18
Q
  • , which display hierarchical data as a set of nested shapes, typically rectangles. Treemaps are great for comparing the proportions between categories via their area size.
A

Tree maps

19
Q

Continuous Numeric Data

A

** * Appropriate charts: Histograms, box plots
* Appropriate descriptive statistics: Mean, Standard Deviation or Variance, Range (Maximum/Minimum), Median (more appropriate skewed data)**

20
Q
  • When your data is a set of numbers between a range. The data can take any value over that interval. If the interval is 1-10, then the data can take values of 2, 3.4, 7.6, .391234 and so on.
A

Continuous Numeric Data

21
Q
  • Is when your data fits into categories without ranks, for example: ‘Red’, ‘Green’, ‘Blue’, or ‘yes’/’no’. While the colors or response are different Red is not higher or lower than Green.
A

Nominal Categorical Data

22
Q

Nominal Categorical Data

A

* Appropriate charts: Bar charts
* Appropriate descriptive statistics: Frequency table, mode

23
Q
  • This is when you have data that has distinct categories, that have an order to them, like ‘low, ‘medium’, ‘high’ setting on a machine or ‘3 months’, ‘4 months’, ‘5 months’ as distinct time units. Months could be Continuous if you were measuring time of survival in Months, but you could have them set, for example, as Month on a treatment, then they would be Ordinal.
A

Ordinal Categorical Data

24
Q

Ordinal Categorical Data

A

* Appropriate charts: Bar charts
* Appropriate descriptive statistics: Frequency table, Median, 1st and 3rd Quartile

25
Q

Relationship between 2 ordinal or nominal variables

A

* Appropriate charts: Grouped Barcharts, Side by Side Barcharts
* Appropriate descriptive statistics: Crosstabs

26
Q

Relationship between 1 ordinal or nominal variable and 1 continuous variable:

A

*** Appropriate charts: Side by Side Boxplots, Stacked or Side by Side Histograms.
* Appropriate descriptive statistics: Grouped means and standard deviations
**

27
Q

29
Q
  • : Specific visuals are designed for specific types of datasets.
A

Choose an effective visual

30
Q
  • : Data visualization tools can make it easy to add all sorts of information to your visual.
