ABSTRACT:
Data analysis processes should help businesses discover, think about, interact with, and understand information. Visual analysis can speed up the process of analysis with effective visualizations, interactions and navigation and present data in meaningful ways.
Learn how visual analytics can make it easy to navigate through the analytical process by taking advantage of simple, familiar and effective graphs and making them interactive. Learn some of the most common and useful interactions in data analysis, including the ability to:
- Filter out irrelevant data.
- Sort data to see it in order of magnitude.
- Move between the big picture and detailed views of the data.
- Drill up and down through levels in hierarchically structured data.
- Change your view of the data to a different perspective.
