WHAT IS DATA VIZUALIZATION ?
• Data visualization is the presentation of data in a pictorial
or graphical format.
• It enables decision makers to see analytics presented
visually, so they can grasp difficult concepts or identify
new patterns.
• With interactive visualization, you can take the concept a
step further by using technology to drill down into charts
and graphs for more detail, interactively changing what
data you see and how it’s processed.
History of Data Visualization
• The concept of using pictures to understand data has been around for
centuries, from maps and graphs in the 17th century to the invention
of the pie chart in the early 1800s.
• Several decades later, one of the most cited examples of statistical
graphics occurred when Charles Minard mapped Napoleon’s invasion
of Russia.
• The map depicted the size of the army as well as the path of
Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow – and tied that information to
temperature and time scales for a more in-depth understanding of
the event.
Why is data visualization important?
The way the human brain processes information, using charts or graphs to
visualize large amounts of complex data is easier than poring over
spreadsheets or reports.
Data visualization is a quick, easy way to convey concepts in a universal
manner – and you can experiment with different scenarios by making slight
adjustments.
Data visualization can also:
Identify areas that need attention or improvement.
Clarify which factors influence customer behavior.
Help you understand which products to place where.
Predict sales volumes.
Data visualization: Making big data approachable
and valuable
• The insight gained from big data – everything from knowing what
factors influence customers to make a purchase to pinpointing
behavior patterns that can lead to fraud or misuse – can help
organizations improve operations and identify new opportunities.
• But getting to that payoff can be a challenge, because big data is
voluminous and tends to evolve, making it challenging to get a
handle on.
Regardless of industry or size, all types of businesses are using data
visualization to help make sense of their data.
1.Comprehend information quickly
By using graphical representations of business information,
businesses are able to see large amounts of data in clear, cohesive
ways – and draw conclusions from that information.
And since it’s significantly faster to analyze information in graphical
format (as opposed to analyzing information in spreadsheets),
businesses can address problems or answer questions in a more
timely manner.
How Is It Being Used?
2.Identify relationships and patterns
Even extensive amounts of complicated data start to make sense when presented
graphically; businesses can recognize parameters that are highly correlated. Some of the
correlations will be obvious, but others won’t. Identifying those relationships helps
organizations focus on areas most likely to influence their most important goals.
3.Pinpoint emerging trends
Using data visualization to discover trends – both in the business and in the market – can give
businesses an edge over the competition, and ultimately affect the bottom line. It’s easy to spot
outliers that affect product quality or customer churn, and address issues before they become
bigger problems.
4.Communicate the story to others
Once a business has uncovered new insights from visual analytics, the next step is to communicate
those insights to others. Using charts, graphs or other visually impactful representations of data is
important in this step because it’s engaging and gets the message across quickly.

Laying the groundwork for data visualization
Before implementing new technology, there are some steps you need to take. Not only
do you need to have a solid grasp on your data, you also need to understand your
goals, needs and audience.
Preparing your organization for data visualization technology requires that you first:
•Understand the data you’re trying to visualize, including its size and cardinality (the
uniqueness of data values in a column).
•Determine what you’re trying to visualize and what kind of information you want to
communicate.
•Know your audience and understand how it processes visual information.
•Use a visual that conveys the information in the best and simplest form for your
audience.
Tools for data visualization
• Tableau Software
• Tableau Software is perhaps the best known
platform for data visualization across a wide
array of users
• This company, founded in 2003, offers a
family of interactive data visualization
products focused on business intelligence.
The software is offered in desktop, server,
and cloud versions.There's also a free public
version used by bloggers, journalists,
quantified-self hobbyists, sports fans,
political junkies, and others.

SAS Visual Analytics
SAS is one of the traditional vendors in the advanced analytics space, with a long history of offering analytical insights
to businesses. SAS Visual Analytics is among its many offerings.
The company offers a series of sample reports showing how visual analytics can be applied to questions and problems
in a range of industries. Examples include healthcare claims, casino performance, digital advertising, environmental
reporting, and the economics of Ebola outbreaks.

Future of data vizualization
Data visualization is entering a new era. Emerging sources of intelligence, theoretical developments and
advances in multidimensional imaging are reshaping the potential value that analytics and insights can
provide, with visualization playing a key role.
The vast majority of data visualizations today are two-dimensional. However, that’s changing with creative
use of color and size, combination of space and time, and advanced computer graphics.
For instance, neuroscientists Emmanuelle Tognoli and Scott Kelso developed a five-dimensional model
known as the 5-D colorimetric technique, that provides a dynamic and comprehensive view of brain activity
through spatiotemporal display and color coding. Another example is Microsoft’s Holograph, an interactive
3-D platform that can render static and dynamic images above or below a plane for more natural exploration
and manipulation of complex data.
5- D colorimetric technique
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and interdependent,
opportunities to generate value through data visualization will only
increase.
The Internet of Things will have a profound effect on the role that data
visualization can play in organizations and society, improving our ability
to understand how humans and machines interact with each other and the
environment.
Application of evolving cognitive frameworks, such as Network and
Complexity Theories, will help us better reflect dynamic and intricate
structural dependencies. And advances in multidimensional visualization
will allow us to more effectively synthesize and explore spatiotemporal
conditions.
