“A picture is worth a thousand words.”
We are all familiar with this expression. It specifically applies to explaining the insights obtained from analyses of increasingly large data sets. Data visualization plays an essential role in the representation of both small-scale and large-scale data.
The ability to narrate a compelling story by visualizing data and findings in a stimulating way is one of the key skills of a data scientist. Learning to use a software tool to visualize data would enable you to extract information, understand the data better and make more effective decisions.
The main goal of ‘Data Visualization with Python’ is to equip you with the skills to turn data, which appears to have little meaning, into forms that explore its various nuances. Different techniques have been developed to present data visually. In this course, we will be using the open source language R.
