Task 1
Assignment
What do visualizations tell us about this data?
If you would like to generate different data than what was cleaned and analyzed in week 4, you may. Clearly state that the data is different and the source of the data in the research paper. You do not need a compelling reason, so do not spend time trying to justify your choice. You may use data that is available within the libraries of R, as well. However, you will need to include what cleaning or analysis was necessary prior to creating visualizations.
Sometimes visualizations are for a brief, some are for marketing, but they are all designed to tell a story. In research, visualizations are used to test assumptions, as well.
After creating visualizations in R, write a research paper and describe:
- What visualization(s) were chosen to represent the data, why, and what this type of visualization can reveal about the data.
- How was your data prepared for visualization?
- What knowledge was gained about your data from visualizing the data in the manner chosen?
- Describe 2 visualization techniques that would not work with your data and why.
- Could you see any way to discretely misrepresent your data visually?
The following documents should be submitted for full credit:
- The research paper with the data visualizations
- The .r file with your code
- Raw data, if it is not internal to R.
Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (and at least 800 words), double-spaced, saved in MS Word format. All research papers in this course should be written in APA format, excluding the abstract. Properly cite and reference any websites or documents you include to support the requirements of this assignment.
Your cover page should contain the following: title, student’s name, University of the Cumberlands, course name, course number, professor’s name, and date.
Submit your assignment on or before the due date.
By submitting this paper, you agree:
(1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign™ services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy;
(2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution’s policies; and
(3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.
Note: Your answer must be 1200 words and add 3 references please follow the APA format
Task 2
Discussion:
For this week’s discussion, find a visual representation of data on the web that you feel represents the data extremely well.
- What knowledge did you gain from the visualization? Do not simply restate what the website may have about the visualization. Make your own interpretations.
- Describe why the one you chose is superior to all the rest
- When replying to a peer, ensure you annotate whether theirs or yours are better and why.
Don’t forget:
- Make sure that you reference the source of the visualization
- List your references and annotate with citations
Note: Your answer must be 800 words and add 3 references.
