2.5 Summarize and analyze

Summarizing data in a useful form is more art than technology. It can be difficult to know how best to present information to people to help them make more valuable, or helpful decisions.

There are a few projects to capture the essence of summaries and initial analysis:

  • Project 4.1: ”A Data Dashboard”. This notebook will show a number of visual analysis techniques.

  • Project 4.2: ”A Published Report”. A notebook can be saved as a PDF file, creating a report that’s easily shared.

The initial work of summarizing and creating shared, published reports sets the stage for more formal, automated reporting. The next set of projects builds modules that provide deeper and more sophisticated statistical models.
