Course details
If you’re looking to start exploring the value of visual analysis, this course was designed for you. Join instructor Franz Buscha as he introduces you to the basics of data visualization analysis including data types, graph elements, and the core concepts of univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis.
Explore commonly used visualization tools for distributional analysis such as histograms, density plots, strip plots, box plots, bar graphs, dot plots, pie charts, and radar plots. Along the way, Franz shows you how to visualize multiple distributions at the same time, as well as how to visualize both simple and multidimensional relationships using scatter plots, line plots, matrix scatter and trellis plots, bubble plots, contour plots, and more.
