Description
Making sense of data can be a daunting task. This practical guide helps you navigate the process by asking high-level questions, defining data analysis tasks, and using visualizations to clarify understanding and gain insights. Through detailed case studies, authors Danyel Fisher and Miriah Meyer show how iterative visualization can help refine your approach. You'll learn about the data counseling process, the role of visual representations in data discovery, and various visualization techniques that support analysis of large, complex data sets. By incorporating visualization into your workflow early on, you can move from general questions to more precise ones, and gain valuable insights along the way.
