Data Visualization and Classification
Data classification and visualization are important because:
1 We use classification methods find patterns in a dataset.
- On their own, many datasets are to complex to interpret directly. We often need to simplify our data by aggregating it into classes (groups).
- This helps us find patterns in our data and helps us convey those patterns to others.
2 Data visualization is essential for conveying our results to others effectively.
- Your analysis is meaningless if you are the only one who understands it.
- We have to be able to share our analyses with others in a concise and organized way.
