INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS

Any depiction or image capable of being reproduced on a surface, whether by printing or otherwise, is
referred to as a visual representation; however, a trademark is not included.

The Most Common Types of Visuals

Pie Chart : A pie chart is a circular graph that has been sliced into slices to show numerical
proportions. Each slice's arc length in a pie chart is proportionate to the quantity it shows. When
there are contrasts in the data, the pie chart is the best tool for interpreting it. It is used to
understand the composition of a subject.

Bar Chart : A bar chart is a graph in which rectangular bars with heights or lengths
proportionate to the values they represent are used to depict data. Bars can be plotted in both
vertical and horizontal directions. When the data is large, bar charts are utilized to fit all the
values within the chart. It is used to compare more than two data.

Histogram : A histogram is a visual depiction of numerical data's frequency distribution. It


features a variety of bars of various sizes. Unlike a bar chart, the bars do not have any gap
between them. The most common application of histograms is to calculate the
frequency of any data. It is used to know the frequency of any data.

Line Chart : A line chart is a type of graph that presents data as data points known as
"markers" that are connected by straight lines. Because they indicate a specific value on the
chart, line graphs are substantially more precise than other types of graphs. It is used to
understand the accuracy of data and changes over time.

Area Chart : It is mostly based on a line graph. Using different colors, the area between the
axis and the line is calculated and compared. The area chart makes it easy to compare one or
two series because it compares the complete extent of the data. The different colors that
distinguish the series make it easier to analyze. It is used to make comparisons between
the subjects and gain a better understanding of efficiency.

Bubble Chart : It's a graph with three axes on which three dimensions of data are displayed
(x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis). Understanding social, economic, medical, and other scientific
linkages can be simplified with bubble charts. It is used for the analysis of entities in
terms of their relative locations in relation to their values and sizes.

Types of Visual Representations

Static Infographics : Simple; usually stored as an image file (JPG or PNG format) for easy
distribution and consumption; easy to send via email and social media because there are no
moving parts to consider.
Interactive Infographic: Great to use when you want people to do more than just look at the
data; provide a special tale conveyed via your data; the audience interacts with the data and
becomes more engrossed in it.
Video Infographic : Use animation to tell a tale; it should last no more than 5 minutes.
Zoom Interactive Infographic: Tackles a huge quantity of data; a larger design is required to
display all the data; the audience zooms in to see certain data.
Animated Infographic : As the reader watches, generate movement or shift in the design. It
could be the bars on a bar chart increasing, a color shift, or an animated character (in the case
of these winged animals). Because these aren't video files, they're distinguished from video
infographics.

Graphical Representation

The use of intuitive charts to effectively illustrate and simplify data sets is referred to as
graphical representation. Data is absorbed into data software's graphical representation, which is
then represented by a variety of symbols, such as lines on a line chart, bars on a bar chart, or slices
on a pie chart, from which users can obtain more understanding than from numerical analysis alone.

Representational graphics can help predict and make better data-driven decisions by
immediately illustrating general behavior and highlighting phenomena, oddities, and linkages
between data pieces that could otherwise go unnoticed.

Exploratory Data Analysis

Data scientists utilize exploratory data analysis (EDA) to study and investigate data sets
and describe their primary properties, frequently using data visualization techniques. It
assists data scientists in determining how to best manipulate data sources to obtain the answers they
require, making it easier for them to find patterns, test hypotheses, and verify assumptions.

The primary goal of EDA is to assist in the analysis of data prior to making any
assumptions. It can aid in the detection of evident errors, as well as a better understanding of data
patterns, the detection of outliers or unusual events, and the discovery of interesting relationships
between variables.

Confirmatory Data Analysis

Confirmatory Data Analysis is the part where you evaluate your evidence using traditional
statistical tools such as significance, inference, and confidence.

CDA is a method for evaluating evidence by questioning people's assumptions about the
data. They move backwards from their conclusions in this stage of the process, weighing the merits
of their work's outcomes. It's similar to evaluating evidence and asking witnesses in a trial to decide
the defendant's guilt or innocence.
