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.
