Types of Plots
- Bar charts : Ideal for comparing categories of data
- ideal for visualizing and comparing discrete data.
- Pie charts : Illustrate parts of a whole, showing proportions
- useful for displaying the composition of a categorical variable.
- Scatter Plots : Display relationships between two variables
- helpful in identifying patterns, clusters, and outliers in the data.
- Line Charts : Demonstrate trends over a continuous interval
- useful for showing how data changes over time or other continuous variables
- Heatmaps : Depict data values using ground gradients
- effective for visualizing large datasets and identifying patterns or clusters in the data
- Histograms : Show the distribution of a single variable
- Bubble Charts : Represent three dimensions, with bubble size indicating a third variable
- useful for visualizing relationships between three variables in a 2D space
Line plot
- Used for numeric data
- Used to show trends
- Compare two or more different variables over time
- Could be used to make predictions
Scatter plots
- Investigate relationships between quantitative values
No relationship: If there is absolutely no correlation present the value given is 0.
Perfect linear correlation: A perfect positive correlation is given the value of 1. A perfect negative correlation is given the value of -1.
Strong linear correlation:
