Data Visualization

Data visualization is the representation of data in graphical or visual formats, making it easier to understand, interpret, and derive insights. Instead of presenting raw data in tables or spreadsheets, data visualization uses charts, graphs, maps, and other visual elements to convey patterns, trends, and relationships within the data. Here are key aspects and benefits of data visualization: Clarity and Understanding: Visualization helps in simplifying complex datasets and making them more com

The importance of data visualization

• 90% of the information transmitted to the brain is visual


• Humans process images 60,000 times faster than text
• 70% of our sensory receptors are in our eyes
• 65% of people are visual learners

In short, visual data is easier to remember than words.

Visualization Goals
• Answer question
• Make decisions
• See data in context
• Support graphical calculation
• Find patterns
• Present argument or tell a story
• Inspire
Three functions of visualization
• Record: store information
• Analyze: support reasoning about information
• Communicate: convey information to others
What chart type will display your data
efficiently?
• Each chart type is suited to telling a difference stody.
• Common chart type include:
• Pie charts
• Bar graphs
• Line graphs
• Scatter graphs
• Bubble graphs
• Heat maps
Graphs allow you to show
• Trends
• Patters
• Exceptions
Pie Charts
• Perfect for displaying proportions and percentages in a part-to-whole
relationship.
• Pie chart tips:
• Limit the number of categories to 5 or less
• Clearly label the percentages to avoid misinterpretation of the segment size
• Order slices so that they are quickly understood
• Avoid the use of 3D pie charts, the make the data more difficult to understand

Bar Graphs
• Use bar graphs to show groups comparison. They can be either
horizontal or vertical.
• Bar graphs tips
• Always start value axis at zero
• Use a consistent scale
Always start value axis at zero Use a consistent scale
Line Graps
• A line graphs uses a line to show time series relationships of
continuous data. They are great for showing trends and changes over
time.
• Line graphs tips:
• Use a maximum of 4 lines when comparing
• Use solid lines and not dotted lines
• Label each line separately
• Use a correct scale for the graphs
Use solid lines and not dotted lines

Scatter Graphs
• Scatter graphs can be used to show the relationship between two
variables. Perfect to use for large data sets such as population or
epidemiology studies.
• Scatter data tips:
• Use lines to show trends & relationships
• Use as few lines as possible
• Always start with the Y-axis at 0
• Be wary of creating a non-existent cause-effect relationship

Bubble Graphs
• Bubble graphs can be used to show 2, 3, or 4 variables on the same
graphs.
• By using different size or color of bubbles, a bubble graph can show
relationships between data in a very clear manner.
• Bubble graph tips:
• Use simple shapes. Circles work best
• Size bubbles appropriately.
• Use clear and visible labels

Heat Maps
• Heat maps are great for showing geographical or complex data. By
using different shades of color, comparison can be clearly shown.
• Heat map tips:
• Use simple color gradients
• Keep patterns to a minimal
• Use clear map boundaries
