Hierarchical relationships : Determining the composition, distribution,
and relevance of the data's categories and subcategories.
Using a scatter plot will enable visibility of these types of relationships,
as shown below:
Through embarking on such in-depth visual analysis we should achieve the level
of data intimacy required to refine our editorial focus. The visual interrogations we
perform on the data will unearth evidence of the features listed over the previous
couple of pages.. Where we find these, we will find the stories.
The process of visual analysis can potentially go on endlessly, with seemingly
infinite combinations of variables to explore, especially with the rich opportunities
bigger data sets give us. However, by deploying a disciplined and sensible balance
between deductive and inductive enquiry you should be able to efficiently and
effectively navigate towards the source of the most compelling stories.
The chart types that we have seen being used previously are illustrative of just a
small section of the gallery of options we have to call upon. We will learn much
more in Chapter 5 , Sketching, Planning, and Conceiving Your Visualization , about
the different chart types and their functions to understand which ones are best
deployed for different enquiries of our data.
