Statistical Algorithms and Exploratory Data Analysis
Exploratory data analysis is the process of taking data and formatting it into some kind of useful context, typically through visualization. This video describes some common ways we can present data for exploratory analysis. As you watch the video, note how the process of transforming data into charts, graphs, and other visual representations aids in understanding the data and its context. Then, identify three or four data items you use regularly, either in your professional or personal life, like your credit card spending. What form of data presentation would you use for this data? How would the presentation of the data in this form allow you to make better decisions?
