About this video
Imagine a research article without graphs or plots! How difficult would it be to understand or explain science without data visualization?
There is no doubt that visualizing data benefits research analysis and storytelling. Most often, picturing data in a plot is preferred over a table. It can help identify patterns, trends, and connections in the data and even allows innovative scientific discoveries. However, one question remains: How do you choose the right plot for your data?
In this module, Robert Kosara, Data Visualization Developer at ObservableHQ, will help you understand the what and why of data visualization. You will learn about commonly used plots, their benefits, and their limitations. Robert will also discuss how the choice of colors and shapes can influence our understanding or mislead data interpretation.
