Data visualization also provides a concise and interactive way to present the unique and special attributes hidden in data. This course focuses on the application of different visualization methods. It consists of a few of projects, each designed to give students the skills and the ability to apply different visualization techniques. It also provides students with alternative ways of dealing with complex data structures that may not follow the standard data storage approaches and the advanced knowledge in the visualization of statistical models. All the projects will be carried out using R programming software, but other software such as Python, SAS, STATA may also be used.
