Tools are available for visualisation


 3.     What tools are available for visualisation?



Consuming large sets of data isn’t always straightforward. Sometimes, data sets are so large that it’s downright impossible to discern anything useful from them. That’s where data visualizations come in.

 

Data visualization tools provide data visualization designers with an easier way to create visual representations of large data sets.

 

There are dozens, of applications, tools, and scripts available to create visualizations of large data sets.


 

Tableau (and Tableau Public)

 

Tableau has a variety of options available, including a desktop app, server and hosted online versions, and a free public option.

 

Infogram

 

Infogram is a fully-featured drag-and-drop visualization tool that allows even non-designers to create effective visualizations of data for marketing reports, infographics, social media posts, maps, dashboards, and more.

 

ChartBlocks

 

ChartBlocks claims that data can be imported from “anywhere” using their API, including from live feeds. While they say that importing data from any source can be done in “just a few clicks,” it’s bound to be more complex than other apps that have automated modules or extensions for specific data sources.

 

Datawrapper

 

Datawrapper was created specifically for adding charts and maps to news stories. The charts and maps created are interactive and made for embedding on news websites. Their data sources are limited, though, with the primary method being copying and pasting data into the tool.

Limitations of traditional data analysis

 7 .      What are the limitations of traditional data analysis? Traditional statistics is about analysing and summarizing data, and suited to processing lesser amounts of linear, repeatable data to find a solution. It’s very useful in environments where data, and the relationships between the data, are relatively stable. It is still by far the most commonly used methodology and continues to be good for mid to long term forecasting based on prior sales history, where a few hundred or even fewer data points may generate a reasonable forecast. The important limitations of statistics are:   Statistics laws are true on average. Statistics are aggregates of facts, so a single observation is not a statistic. Statistics deal with groups and aggregates only. Statistical methods are best applicable to quantitative data. Statistics cannot be applied to heterogeneous data. If sufficient care is not exercised in collecting, analysing and interpreting the data, statistical results might be misleadi

Traditional data analysis

 6 .      What is Traditional data analysis (descriptive and inferential)?          Traditional data is the structured data which is being majorly maintained by all types of businesses starting from very small to big organizations. In traditional database system a centralized database architecture used to store and maintain the data in a fixed format or fields in a file. For managing and accessing the data Structured Query Language (SQL) is used. 3 Characteristic of Traditional Data: ·        Traditional analytics is static.   Traditional data analytics typically relies on dashboards composed of visualizations. These dashboards are based on common business questions and are predefined well in advance.   ·        Traditional analytics answers “what.”   Traditional analytics answers a series of “what” questions and leaves the user to determine “why” through their own analyses.   ·        Traditional analytics is driven by hypotheses.   Dashboards are typically predefined based on common

Technical requirements of big data

2.       What are the technical requirements of big data? This data boom presents a massive opportunity to find new efficiencies, detect previously unseen patterns and increase levels of service to citizens, but Big Data analytics can’t exist in a vacuum. Because of the enormous quantities of data involved in these solutions, they must incorporate a robust infrastructure for storage, processing and networking, in addition to analytics software. 1.       Storage Solutions Often, organizations already possess enough storage in-house to support a Big Data initiative. (After all, the data that will be processed and analyzed via a Big Data solution is already living somewhere.) However, agencies may decide to invest in storage solutions that are optimized for Big Data. While not necessary for all Big Data deployments, flash storage is especially attractive due to its performance advantages and high availability.   2. Processing Power   Servers intended for Big Data analytics must have enoug
