As data scientists, two important goals in our work would be to extract knowledge from the data and to present the data to stakeholders. Presenting results to stakeholders is very complex in the sense that our audience may not have enough technical know-how to understand programming jargon and other technicalities. Hence, visual aids are very useful tools. In this chapter, we will focus on different types of visual aids that can be used with our datasets. We are going to learn about different types of techniques that can be used in the visualization of data.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Line chart
- Bar chart
- Scatter plot
- Area plot and stacked plot
- Pie chart
- Table chart
