2. Static Visualization – Global Patterns and Summary Statistics
Learning Objectives
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:
- Explain various visualization techniques for different contexts
- Identify global patterns of one or more features in a dataset
- Create plots to represent global patterns in data: scatter plots, hexbin plots, contour plots, and heatmaps
- Create plots that present summary statistics of data: histograms (revisited), box plots, and violin plots
In this chapter, we'll explore different visualization techniques for presenting global patterns and summary statistics of data.
