Overview of this book

Want to handle everything that Julia can throw at you and get the most of it every day? This practical guide to programming with Julia for performing numerical computation will make you more productive and able work with data more efficiently. The book starts with the main features of Julia to help you quickly refresh your knowledge of functions, modules, and arrays. We’ll also show you how to utilize the Julia language to identify, retrieve, and transform data sets so you can perform data analysis and data manipulation. Later on, you’ll see how to optimize data science programs with parallel computing and memory allocation. You’ll get familiar with the concepts of package development and networking to solve numerical problems using the Julia platform. This book includes recipes on identifying and classifying data science problems, data modelling, data analysis, data manipulation, meta-programming, multidimensional arrays, and parallel computing. By the end of the book, you will acquire the skills to work more effectively with your data.

Introduction


In this chapter, you will learn how to visualize and present data and analyze the findings from the data science approach you have adopted to solve a particular problem. There are various types of visualization to display your findings: bar plots, the scatter plots, pie charts, and so on, and it is very important to choose an appropriate method that can reflect your findings and work in a sensible and an aesthetically pleasing manner.

Importance of visualizations and reporting in data science:

Visualization is the art of displaying quantitative information in a sensible, legible, and aesthetically pleasing way. It consists of plotting quantitative information in the form of various graphs as well as putting forward or compiling the analyses and the results in a precise and a legible report.

Visualizations and reporting should always be done in such a way that the person or the group to whom they are being presented to should be able to follow and appreciate it with minimal background...
