Apache Superset Quick Start Guide

Overview of this book

Apache Superset is a modern, open source, enterprise-ready business intelligence (BI) web application. With the help of this book, you will see how Superset integrates with popular databases like Postgres, Google BigQuery, Snowflake, and MySQL. You will learn to create real time data visualizations and dashboards on modern web browsers for your organization using Superset. First, we look at the fundamentals of Superset, and then get it up and running. You'll go through the requisite installation, configuration, and deployment. Then, we will discuss different columnar data types, analytics, and the visualizations available. You'll also see the security tools available to the administrator to keep your data safe. You will learn how to visualize relationships as graphs instead of coordinates on plain orthogonal axes. This will help you when you upload your own entity relationship dataset and analyze the dataset in new, different ways. You will also see how to analyze geographical regions by working with location data. Finally, we cover a set of tutorials on dashboard designs frequently used by analysts, business intelligence professionals, and developers.

Comparing Feature Values

Given a table with many columns, an understanding of the range and simple statistics of the feature values in every column often results in an individual becoming curious about how different features affect one another. Relationships between features are modeled as correlation measures. Formulating and computing correlations between features in a dataset is a complex problem. Sometimes, joint distribution plots are able to encapsulate and visualize these relationships very well.

We can visualize multiple features for every row at once as points on a chart. The bubble chart in Superset can be used to visualize a feature type on the y axis perpendicular to the x axis timeline. A second feature is color-coded, and a third feature value is reflected as bubble size in a group of one or more rows in a dataset. In this chapter, we will make the following charts...
