Interactive Data Visualization


A picture is worth a thousand words; less if it's a PowerPoint show, more if it's a good interactive data display.  Dr. Galit Shmueli covers the statistically-appropriate techniques and principles you can use to explore and investigate your data in "Interactive Data Visualization," statistics.com. For more details please visit at http://www.statistics.com/Visualization/.

Aim of the course:
"Interactive Data Visualization" is about the interactive exploration of data using state-of-the-art data visualization software. Participants will learn to explore a range of different data types and structures. They will learn about various interactive techniques for manipulating and examining the data and producing effective visualizations.

The course is very hands-on in terms of the learning process. Participants will be guided through an exploration of quantitative business data to discern meaningful patterns, trends, relationships, and exceptions that reveal business performance, potential problems and opportunities.

Who Should Take This Course:
Statistical analysts and data miners who need to explore and graph multivariate data, either to form impressions of the data or as a preliminary step to performing statistical tests or building models.
