Data Visualization CSCE 679

Besides learning how to analyze data, it is essential to represent data as well. Data visualization can aid data scientists to deliver data more understandably and efficiently. It helps them to tell stories by removing noise from data and emphasizing the useful part of information. So, this class would help me to understand different techniques and tools for data visualization. It also makes me familiar with common mistakes that are happened in this field.

Example for good visualization: 
This visualization is easily interpreted. It shows the trend of job losses and gains clearly during 2009- 2017 by using colors that represent the nature of data very well.

Example for bad visualization:
Lots of variables are represented in 3D bars that make information difficult to understand because of the collusion and perspective problem.
