Assignment: Analyzing And Visualizing Data
Chart Types
The chart you select to represent your data will be influenced by many factors. Kirk (2016) has put each chart into the five main families below:
a) Categorical: Comparing categories and distributions of quantities values
b) Hierarchical: Charting part-to-whole relationships and hierarchies
c) Relational: Graphing relationships to explore correlations and connections
d) Temporal: Showing trends and activities over time
e) Spatial: Mapping spatial patterns through overlays and distortions
Select a chart type from the text and discuss what the chart is used for and why you selected it. (The author has included a lot of different chart types in our course book). You must also provide a real world example of the chart type you selected. For the real world example you provide, you must include the source. For the real world example you must provide a discussion from your own perspective including was it easy to understand or confusing, what would have made this real world example better?
