“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing

left to take away”

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Statistics

“[...] people almost universally use story narratives to represent, reason about, and make

sense of contexts involving multiple interacting agents, using motivations and goals to explain

both observed and possible future actions. With regard to learning analytics, I’m seeing this as how

it can contribute to the retrospective understanding and sharing of what transpired

within the operational contexts”

[Zachary2013]

The use of computer-supported, interactive, visual

representations of abstract elements to amplify cognition

[Card1999]

ConceptsInformation visualization

● Also known as InfoVis● Focuses on visualizing non-physical, abstract

data such as financial data, business information, document collections and abstract conceptions

● However, inadequately supported decision making [AmarStasko2004]○ Limited affordances○ Predetermined representations○ Decline of determinism in decision-making

ConceptsGeovisualization

[Keim2006]

ConceptsVisual Analytics (III)

[Keim2006]

“Visual analytics is more than just visualization and can rather be seen as an integrated approach

combining visualization, human factors and data analysis. [...]integrates methodology from information analytics, geospatial analytics, and scientific analytics. Especially human factors (e.g., interaction, cognition,

perception, collaboration, presentation, and dissemination) play a key role in the communication

between human and computer, as well as in the decisionmaking process.”

ConceptsVisual Analytics (IV)

● [Shneiderman2002] suggests combining computational analysis approaches such as data mining with information visualization

● People use visual analytics tools and techniques to○ Synthesize information and derive insight from

massive, dynamic, ambiguous and often conflicting data

○ Detect the expected and discover the unexpected

○ Provide timely, defensible, and understandable assessments

○ Communicate assessment effectively for action

ProcessIntroduction

The purpose of analytical displays of evidence is to assist thinking. Consequently, in constructing displays of evidence, the first question

is, “What are the thinking tasks that these displays are supposed to serve?” The central claim of the book is that effective analytic

designs entail turning thinking principles into seeing principles. So, if the thinking task is to understand causality, the task calls for a design principle: “Show causality.” If a thinking task is to answer a question

and compare it with alternatives, the design principle is: “Show comparisons.” The point is that analytical designs are not to be

decided on their convenience to the user or necessarily their readability or what psychologists or decorators think about them;

rather, design architectures should be decided on how the architecture assists analytical thinking about evidence.

Process2) Visual mapping

Ranking of elementary perceptual tasks [ClevelandMcGill1985]

Process2) Visual mapping (II)

● Two researchers of the AT&T Bell Labs, William S. Cleveland y Robert McGill, published a core article in the Journal of the American Statistical Association

● The title was: “Graphical perception: theory, experimentation, and application to the development of graphical methods”

● It proposes a guide the most suitable visual representation depending on the objective of each graph

Process2) Visual mapping (III)

“A graphical form that involves elementary perceptual tasks that lead to more accurate judgements than another

graphical form (with the same quantitative information) will result in a

better organization and increase the chances of a correct perception of

patterns and behavior.”

Process2) Visual mapping (IV)

In some representations, the accuracy is not the

objective, but the perception of general

patterns, concentrations, aggregations, trends, etc.

The shapes in the low part of the list could be

quite useful

DashboardIntroduction (II)

“Most information dashboards that are used in business today fall far short of their potential”

Stephen Few

DashboardDefinition

“A dashboard is a visual display of the most important information needed to

achieve one or more objectives; consolidated and arranged on a single

screen so the information can be monitored at a glance”

[Few2007]

DashboardCharacteristics

● Visual displays● Display information needed to achieve specific

objectives● Fits on a single computer screen● Are used to monitor information at a glance● Have small, concise, clear, intuitive display

mechanisms● Are customized

DashboardCategories

Role Strategic, Operational, Analytical

Type of data Quantitative, Non-quantitative

Data domain Sales, Finance, Marketing, Manufacturing, Human Resources, Learning, etc.

Type of measures Balanced Scored Cards, Six Sigma, Non-performance

Span of data Enterprise wide, Departmental, Individual

Update frequency Monthly, Weekly, Daily, Hourly, Real-time

Interactivity Static display, Interactive display

Mechanisms of display

Primarily graphical, Primarily text, Integration of graphics and text

Portal functionality Conduit to additional data. No portal functionality

DashboardCommon mistakes

1) Exceeding the boundaries of a single screen

● Information that appears on dashboards is often fragmented in one of two ways:○ Separated into discrete screens to which one must

navigate

○ Separated into different instances of a single screen that are accesses through same form of interaction

DashboardCommon mistakes (II)

2) Supplying inadequate context for the data

● Fail to provide adequate context to make the measures meaningful

3) Displaying excessive detail or precision

● Show unnecessary detail

4) Choosing a deficient measure

● Use of measures that fail to directly express the intended message

DashboardCommon mistakes (III)

5) Choosing inappropiate display media

● Common problem with pie charts ;-)

6) Introducing meaningless variety

● Exhibit unnecessary variety of display media

DashboardCommon mistakes (IV)

7) Using poorly designed display media● A legend was used to label and assign values to the slices

of the pie. This forces our eyes to bounce back and forth between the graph and the legend to glean meaning, which is a waste of time and effort when the slices could have been labeled directly.

● The order of the slices and the corresponding labels appears random. Ordering them by size would have provided useful information that could have been assimilated instantly.

● The bright colors of the pie slices produce sensory overkill. Bright colors ought to be reserved for specific data that should stand out from the rest.

DashboardCommon mistakes (V)

8) Encoding quantitative data inaccurately

9) Arranging the data poorly

● The most important data ought to be prominent

● Data that require immediate attention ought to stand out

● Data that should be compared ought to be arranged and visually designed to encourage comparisons

DashboardCommon mistakes (VI)

10) Highlighting important data ineffectively or not at all

● Fail to differentiate data by its importance○ Giving relatively equal prominence to everything on

the screen

11) Cluttering the display with useless decoration

● Try to look something that is not● It results in useless and distracting decoration

DashboardCommon mistakes (VII)

12) Misusing or overusing color

● Too much color undermines its power

13) Designing an unattractive visual display

● The fundamental challenge of dashboard design is to effectively display a great deal of often disparate data in a small amount of space

DashboardBuzz words

● Dashboards○ Presents information in a way that is easy to read and

interpret

● Key Performance Indicator○ Success or steps leading to the success of a goal

DashboardExploratory Analytics Requirements

● The tool ideally exhibits the following characteristics:○ Provides every analytical display, interaction, and

function that might be needed by those who use it for their analytical tasks

○ Grounds the entire analytical experience in a single,

central workspace, with all displays, interactions, and functions within easy reach from there

DashboardExploratory Analytics Requirements (II)

● The tool ideally exhibits the following characteristics:○ Supports efficient, seamless transitions from one step

to the next of the analytical process, even though the

sequence and nature of those steps cannot be anticipated

○ Doesn’t require a lot of fiddling with things to whip

them into shape to support your analytical needs

(such as having to take time to carefully position and size graphs on the screen)

DashboardExploratory Analytics Requirements (III)

DashboardPresentation

● Present: to offer to view; display● Space limitations

○ Scrolling○ Overview + detail○ Distortion○ Supression○ Zoom and pan
