Let's talk about data visualization so that we can avoid problems like this which is where we've got some kind of graph

Loads and loads of lines none of them labeled. I think the thick one is more important. That's that's what I've learned from this

Data visualization is another method we can use along with

Statistics to have a look at our data Explorer our data and try and work out what's going on

It's a way of trying to understand our data better so that we can then perform

You know more rigorous statistical tests or actually start to draw conclusions or model our data

It's a very important tool but you've got to use it properly

You can't just plot anything and everything

Every chart you use has got to support your hypothesis or it's got to try and show the story

You're trying to tell right? You don't just plot something because it could be plotted. There's got to be a point to it

There's a lot of problems with using inappropriate grass and only picking subsets of your data. That's a huge problem, right?

That is not just a problem for data visualization. That's a problem for your statistical test as well

If you're only using some of your data, it's that okay

It's going to depend on the situation right my um, you know

but I think there's a strong argument for saying you've got to be really really careful and you've got to be really

Document everything you do. The core problem with visualization is that people just plot stuff and they do it badly

maybe they use the inappropriate plot type or they

Don't scale of axes properly and that leads to huge misunderstandings and actually can be quite misleading, right?

So, for example, you might get a sort of political message for your door, but says these are different parties

This is party to this is party three and maybe you know party one's got this many votes and party twos got

Right down here and party two are trying to make the case that just a few more votes and they're gonna win in this area

why but actually written down here this is twenty thousand and this is ten thousand and this is you know,

Eight thousand and just in the small labeling they've got here

They've completely skewed the axis right ten thousand is half of twenty thousand yet. Here. We are up here if you misuse plots

It's actually misleading when it's on your own data

You're going to draw the wrong conclusions and then spend

quite a while researching into an area but doesn't make sense or and ends up in failure or if it's if

It's something you're presented to someone else. You can mislead that person whether intentionally or by accident

And that's never a good thing. I'm back in our and I just wanted to show a couple of plots that you know

It's not misleading necessarily, but you can easily infer the wrong kind of information, right so

You can go to to look at the ratings for different TV shows right now. One of my favorite TV shows is Fraser, right?

If you go on to these sites and you plot the

Ratings for all these Fraser episodes. It's all over the place

Sometimes it's very highly regarded and sometimes it's not so I'm just going to plot this

using the GG plot tool and we can see if we look at the graph that

It's absolutely everywhere. Right? You've got good episodes. You've got bad episodes and it seems to maybe be going slightly downhill towards the end

But it's difficult to say right because it's all over the place

Now what's actually happened is I've just plotted using a default function and it's Auto scaled my rating axis, right?

so my y-axis is the rating of the episodes and it's going between seven and

About nine and a half now that isn't representative because it's spreading out my data if I plot the exact same data

But this time from naught to ten like an actual rating system

You can see that most episodes get almost the exact same rating somewhere between around seven and a half to eight

It's just me. You can see that even if you're not careful

If you do it by accident, even auto-scaling a maxi's and things like this can cause a real problem another classic example, you'll see

In the news is when they show something like a currency exchange rate

we've got our I've downloaded some sample data of the Japanese yen versus the US dollar and I've simplified this by

Extracting just a period of about 60 days in the middle of some time

If we plot this you can see that actually there's a big sort of cliff edge

Something terrible has happened around day 30 and the value of the Japanese yen is just plummeting

And of course, this is absolute nonsense, right? Because this scale goes between 108 and a hundred and fourteen

And so if we plot it with a proper axes on you can see that actually it's almost completely flat

If your business relies on the exchange rate of a Japanese yen to the US dollar

Obviously these small changes might be important right but if you're presenting this in the news

It's very easy to claim that something terrible's happened when in fact actually, maybe this is just normal blip up and down, right so

Plots to serve your purpose right or and you can do it accidentally and waste a huge amount of time

You might see right and you could use on a very basic level and see you know

What are they appropriate for right because one of the most important things is that you use these plots and these charts

Appropriately, alright, so, you know, perhaps the most common one that everyone sees is going to be a bar chart

You've got some kind of attributes or labels down here and then you've got some quantity or amount of some attribute here

And then you're going to have different bars like this now

This is a very nice graph to use it's simple but it's effective because you can very easily see what the difference between these different

Levels are right so that you know, it's often going to be your go to graph for lots of things

Right, some people now some people try and replace this graph of a pie chart, right? This is a bad idea in general

I like pie as much as the next person but if you've got different things

I mean you can see that this one's bigger than this one, but how much bigger it is?

You can't see the relative sizes quite so easily this all gets worse if you combine this into a doughnut plot

And then you've got multiple pies embedded in each other none of them align and nothing makes any sense anymore, right?

So if in doubt don't use a pie chart, it's a bad idea. I mean they look very nice for presentations

That's about what I can say for it if we're going to be measuring some call of quantity then a bar charts going to be

What we want right but what we might also do is replace quantity with the with the frequency or the amount of something

So this is gonna be frequency. This is also our labels again on the bottom here

We've got our labels and this is going to be bins for some single attribute

So this is maybe so naught to 10 that misses maybe 10 to 20 of whatever the thing is

And this is a frequency the amount that fall into that range and what this allows us to do is work out very easily

What the distribution is is it normally distributed, but I'm only distributed with two peaks, you know

We can see very easily the shape of our data and it can be really helpful

Another way of looking at this sort of the shape or the range of our data in particular is a box plot right now

You'll see box plots come up from time to time with scientific

Documents but they're very easy to produce in tools like are and they can be quite useful

So here we're gonna have a single attribute

So some label again or some attribute here and this is going to be the quantity of this attribute

And what a boxplot does is label the range of that data
