LIS4317 Visual Analytics

Create your  first basic graphic in R  as I outlined in the video and  power poin t Download power point . Post the visual on your blog and discuss if your basic visualization in R fit or maybe not fit into Few's and Yau's discussions on how to conduct basic visualization based on simple descriptive analysis. When selecting a chart, you have to ask yourself if you're using the right chart depending on what you are trying to show such as distribution, trends, comparisons, or relationships between values.  According to Few, Deviation analysis doesn't require intricate visualizations. The two best graphs for displaying deviation are bar and line  graphs. Deviation analysis is the measurement of the difference between any one number in a set and the mean of the set.  According to Yau, the use of multivariate analysis to spot the differences between variables is one of the most important assets of visual analytics. Yau believes it is important to find those diff...

 Module # 5 assignment Your assignment is to produce your own visualization that capture the design element we covered in today's class: Part to Whole and Ranking via  Plot.ly. Links to an external site.    Here is the  data set   Download data set that contains two columns: Average Position and Time. Try to explore this data set through Plot.ly. Post your visualization on your blog and provide short description to the outcome.  Just quick note, the Part of Whole is a design framework that have qualities but also disadvantages to capture the data, maybe describe thos   In your assignment, you can also use your own data  in order to design your visual graph based on this design framework. For this assignment, I used Plotly within Rstudio. This provided me a lot more practice with not only this new interface Plotly, but also Rstudio itself.   This is the data set with the values.  I then used the install.packages and library func...

  The goal of this assignment is for you to   create a time-series visualization   using   Tableau Public   based on a curated dataset. You will work with   Monthly Modal Time Series data   sourced from   Data.gov , which contains   12 different variables . Click   here   Download here to download this set (this data set was created in Microsoft Excel format). You will select  6 variables  of your choice from the  12 available  in this dataset. Remove the other  6 variables  to focus your analysis on meaningful trends.  Upload the modified dataset to  Tableau Public and  design a  time-series visualization  that effectively communicates insights from your selected variables. Post your work in Tableau in your blog and share your with us Submission Guidelines •Post a brief  reflection  on your blog explaining: •Why you selected only  six variables •The insights gain...

Module # 3 assignment  In this assignment, you will use the work you have done with Tableau's ( Module # 2 ) and edit it under Adobe Illustrator - by adding Vector graphics to it. This image showcases my experience with Adobe Illustrator. It was definitely overwhelming at first but the more I got to play around with it, the more comfortable I got using it.  This is the result of my work on Adobe Illustrator. I added visual keys to show the various types of museums and exhibits that are included in my map. I also provided a zoomed in state such as Florida to show the various exhibits found within (Image below). I used bright colors and simple icons to bring more attention to my map. I believe it provides more information about the topic while also allowing the audience to understand the variety that is included within the visualization. Overall, Adobe was challenging but also rewarding to work with. I hope to continue expanding upon my skills with this platform.  Florida Z...
