 INTRODUCTION

What is DV?
 Is the practice of translating information into a visual context
such as map or graph.
 Is one of the steps of the data science process, which states
that after data has been collected, processed and modeled, it
must be visualized for conclusions to be made.
 The term is often used interchangeably with others, including
information graphics, information visualization and statistical
graphics. 4
5
Why DV?
 The main goal of data visualization is to make it easier to identify

patterns, trends and outliers in large data sets.

 DV aims to identify, locate, manipulate, format and deliver data

in the most efficient way possible.

 Direct and custom interaction with data and scenario prediction.

8
Benefits of DV

 Significant interpretation of a large volume of Data.

 Who uses DV

Data visualization is important for almost every career.

 DV in Education:

 To monitor students learning progress throughout the semester.

 Advisors can take prompt actions to help the students who are failing
 It can be used by teachers to display student test results, by

computer scientists exploring advancements in artificial intelligence

(AI) or by executives looking to share information with stakeholders .

11
 DV in Business

 Provides Business with vastly improved Decision making process because it

enhance the available information and represents it in a pictorial format.

 Visualization charts with actionable data can display and help to communicate

the message effectively.

 Data visualization can support organization leaders in identifying patterns and

gaps and interpreting the information in a meaningful manner.

 DV in Military

 For the military, clear and actionable data is critical

 To quickly share accurate information in the most concise structure.
 Better understanding of past Data can make more accurate. 12
 DV Steps
 Develop your Research question
 Get or create your Data
 Clean your Data.
 Choose a Chart Type.
 Choose your Tool.
 Prepare data.
 Create Chart

13
DV Techniques

14
Histogram

15
Histogram

 A Chart that shows the frequency distribution of data points across a continuous
range of Data values
 The bars on a Histogram represent ranges along a continuous quantifiable spectrum.
 A chart that displays numeric data in ranges
 Histograms are a type of Bar Chart but it is used when variables takes continuous
numeric values.

16
17
 Line Chart

 A Line Chart is a Graphical representation of information that changes over time.

 It is a visual comparison of how two variables shown on X and Y Axis are related or vary

with each other.

 A Line Graph helps to determine the relationship between two sets of values.

 When changes are miner it is better to use Line charts than Bar Graphs.

18
Area Plot

19
 Area Plot

 An Area Chart displays graphically quantitative data.

 It is based on line chart.

 The area between axis and line are commonly emphasized with colors, and textures.

 It is used to showcase data that depicts a time series relationship.

 It is a great chart to visualize a volume change over a period of time.

20
Scatter Chart

21
 Scatter Chart

 A Scatter plot or chart uses dots to represent values for different numeric variables.

 Scatter Plots are used to observe relationships between variables

 The position of each dot on the Horizontal and Vertical Axis indicates values for an

individual data point.

 It is particularly useful for Researchers, Economists, Scientists and Journalists

22
23
Pie Chart

 A Circular Chart with multiple divisions where each division shows the
contribution of each value to the total value.
 is a Graphical representation of information that shows a part to a whole.

 One would easily see the biggest or smallest share of the total data

 Displays relative proportions of multiple classes of Data.

24
Bar Chart

25
 Bar Chart
 A Bar chart represents categorical Data with rectangular bars with

heights proportional to the values that they represent.

 It is used when you want to show a distribution of data points or

perform a comparison of metric values across different subgroups of

your data.
 From a bar chart, we can see which groups are highest or most

common
 A Bar chart can be of two types horizontal or Vertical.

26
Box plots

27
 Box plots

 A box plot organizes large amounts of data , and visualizes outlier values.
A box and Whisker plot displays the five number summary of a set of data.
 The five number summary is the Minimum, First quartile, Median, Third quartile
and Maximum.
 In Box Plot, we draw a box from the first quartile to the third quartile.
 A vertical line goes through the box at the median.
 The whiskers go from each quartile to the minimum or maximum.

28
Pair Plot

29
 Pair Plot

 Pair plot is a Module of Seaborn Library which provides a high level

interface for drawing attractive and informative statistical graphics.

 Visualizes given data to find the relationship between them where

the variables can be continuous or categorical

 A Pair plot is a representation which plots pairwise relationship in

the data.
 It is used to understand the best set of features to explain a

relationship between two variables or to form the most separated

clusters 30
KDE Chart

31
 KDE Chart
 Kernel Distribution Estimation Plot is used for visualizing the

probability density of a continuous variable.

 Interpretation of Density Curve:

 If Density curve is left skewed, then the mean is less than median.

 If Density curve is right skewed, then the mean is greater than median.

 If Density curve has no skew, then the mean is equal to median.

32
Hex Bin Plot

33
 Hex Bin Plot

 A Hexbin plot is used to represent the relationship between two numerical variables

when many data points are present.

 In Hex bin plot, the points are not overlapping the plot is split into several

Hexbins/Hexagons.
 It shows the density of data points in a 2Dspace.

 The colour of the bins represents the number of data points within that bin..

 Uses Hexagons to split the area into several parts and attribute a colour to it.

34
Heat Maps

35
Heat Maps

36
 Heat Maps

 A Heat Map is graphical representation of data that uses a system of colour coding to

represent different values.

 It is most commonly used to show user behaviour on specific web pages.

 It is a Two dimensional data visualization that represents the magnitude of individual

values within a data set as a color.

 They are applicable in A/B Testing, helpful in redesigining websites, content marketing

etc.
 Click heatmaps, Mouse Tracking, Eye Tracking

 Scroll Maps 37

variations, making it easier to embed in websites even for those
designers with limited programming knowledge. 48
Visualization using Programming
Python
• Python is considered one of the top-level programming languages
for data visualization because it is known for having many libraries
that allow for greater flexibility and its large and active scientific
computing community.
• It also controls the specific elements of the created graphics and
makes the specifications repeatable through code.

49
• Python is also very good at processing data, it provides open-source communities and
rich third-party libraries that allow continuous optimization for data visualization.
– matplotlib
– seaborn
– plotly
– pylab

50
R
• is an open-source software environment designed for creating
graphics.
• R is designed for data analysis.
•Although Python is becoming more and more popular, especially in
the areas of machine learning and in-depth learning, the R language
still has absolute advantages in data analysis and visualization, with
ggplot2 package and its extension package humanized drawing
grammar favored by users, especially bioinformatics and medical
researchers.
R 51
Power BI

•Power BI is able to extract data from a variety of data sources in

addition to supporting Microsoft's own products.
•The drag-and-drop graphical development model used by Power BI will
free data analysts from the visual chores and put more effort into data
management, algorithm research, and business communication.
