Data Visualization

Visual Data Analysis

• Visual Data Analysis is the science of analytical reasoning supported by interactive visual
interfaces.
• Using advanced visual interfaces, humans may directly interact with the data analysis
capabilities of today’s computer, allowing them to make well-informed decisions in complex
situations.
• Visualization methods concern the design of graphical representation, i.e. to visualize the
innumerate amount of the analytical results as diagrams, tables and images.
• To visualize large-scale data, feature extraction and geometric modelling can be
implemented.
• These processes are needed to decrease the data size before actual rendering

Importance of Data visualization

• Data visualization is the representation of data or information in a graph, chart, or other


visual format.
• It communicates relationships of the data with images.
• It allows trends and patterns to be more easily seen.
Aa visual summary of information makes it easier to identify patterns and trends than
looking through thousands of rows on a spreadsheet.

Interactive Data Visualization


• Interactive visualization is a field of computer science and programming that is focused on
graphic visualizations and improving the way we can access and interact with information.
• They are useful for providing quick and easy way to understand insights based on changing
data.
• Interactive visualizations are a fantastic tool in a variety of settings in their ability to
optimize the way information is displayed.
• One of the most common applications for interactive data visualizations is directly in
dashboards, where using long tables of numbers and data would be impractical and time-
consuming.
Charts
• The easiest way to show the development of one or several data sets .
• Charts vary from bar and line charts that show relationship between elements over time to
pie charts that demonstrate the components or proportions between the elements of one
whole.
Plots
• Plots allow to distribute two or more data sets over a 2D or even 3D space to show the
relationship between these sets and the parameters on the plot.
• Plots also vary: scatter and bubble plots are the most traditional.

Maps
• Maps are widely-used in different industries.
• They allow to position elements on relevant objects and areas - geographical maps, building
plans, website layouts, etc.
Diagrams and matrices
• Diagrams are usually used to demonstrate complex data relationships and links and include
various types of data on one visualization.
• They can be hierarchical, multidimensional, tree-like.
• Matrix is a big data visualization technique that allows to reflect the correlations between
multiple constantly updating (steaming) data sets.

Data visualization tools


Together with the demand for data visualization and analysis, the tools and solutions in this area
develop fast and extensively. Novel 3D visualizations, immersive experiences and shared VR
offices are getting common alongside traditional web and desktop interfaces. Here are three
categories of data visualization tools for different types of users and purposes.

Data visualization tools for everyone


• Tableau is one of the leaders in this field.
• Both newbies and professional analytics companies like Statista rely on this platform to
create stories and derive meaning from their data.
• Visme, Fusioncharts with varied integration capabilities, free and open source
Datawrapper and ZingChart for JavaScript and HTML5 charts.

Data visualization tools for coders


This category of tools includes more sophisticated platforms that enable not only data visualization,
but also a certain level of data analytics.
• Plotly is one of the most popular ones in this category.
• This visualization tool allows to create charts using R or Python, build custom data analytics
web apps with Python, and even use and collaborate in rich open-source libraries for R,
Python and JavaScript.
• Sisense is another data visualization tool with full-stack analytics capabilities. This cloud-
based platform has drag-and-drop interface,
• IBM Watson Analytics is known for its NLP capabilities. The platform literally enables
conversational data control alongside strong dashboard building and data reporting tools.
Tools for complex data visualization and analytics
Growing importance of connected technology, available data sources and fast-changing
environment make companies deal with different types of multi-source data and search for more
complex visualization and analytics solutions. This category includes 3 of them: Microsoft Azure
Power BI, ELK stack Kibana and Grafana.
• Power BI is exceptional for its highly intuitive drag and drop interface, short learning curve
and large integration capabilities, including Salesforce and MailChimp.
• Power BI today is one of the most powerful data visualization and analytics tools that can
handle literally any amount and any type of data.
• PowerBI allows to create customized reports from different data sources and get insights at a
couple of clicks.
• Power BI is strong enough to process streaming real-time data and therefore easily handles
big data analytics.
• It’s not only fully compatible with Azure and other Microsoft services.
• Kibana is the part of the Elastic Stack that turns data into visual insights.
• The tool enables all sorts of data visualization techniques - interactive charts, maps,
histograms, etc.
• Kibana goes beyond traditional dashboards for data visualization and analytics.
• Grafana - a professional data visualization and analytic tool that support up to 30 data
sources, including AWS, Elasticsearch and Prometheus.
• This tool popular among IoT data visualization solutions.
• Grafana allows to visualize and compile into complex dynamic dashboards different types of
metrics data.
