I just discovered this Financial Times Visual Vocabulary poster. This is a solid reference for any devs doing Data Visualization work. Approaches for communicating: 🎯 Distribution 🤡 Deviation 🎭 Correlation 🚿 And even Flow Full poster. Thanks to @AJack for showing me this.

🎉 My first big blog post after my parental leave is out! And yes, it's about color; and how smart data vis designers use it to create smart design hierarchies. Plus, I'll show you one of my fav charts (again): blog.datawrapper.de/emphasize-with…

What are the steps of any Data Science project? 1️⃣ Define the problem or question to be answered: Clearly articulate the problem you aim to solve or the question you want to address. 2️⃣ Gather and understand the data: Collect relevant data and gain a thorough understanding of its structure, quality, and potential limitations. 3️⃣ Prepare and clean the data: Cleanse the data by handling missing values, duplicates, and outliers, ensuring its reliability and quality for further analysis. 4️⃣ Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA): Explore and visualize the data to gain insights, identify patterns, and uncover relationships between variables. 5️⃣ Engineer relevant features: Transform and create new features from the existing data to enhance the predictive power and improve the performance of the models. 6️⃣ Select appropriate modeling techniques: Choose suitable algorithms and modeling approaches based on the problem requirements and available data. 7️⃣ Train the models using the prepared data: Use the prepared data to train the selected models, adjusting their parameters to optimize their performance. 8️⃣ Evaluate the model's performance: Assess the models' performance by comparing their predictions against known outcomes using appropriate evaluation metrics. 9️⃣ Refine and tune the models for better results: Fine-tune the models by adjusting hyperparameters, trying different algorithms, or applying regularization techniques to improve their performance. 1️⃣0️⃣ Deploy the finalized model into a production environment: Integrate the chosen model into a production system or application, ensuring scalability, efficiency, and reliability for real-world use. 1️⃣1️⃣ Communicate the findings and results to stakeholders: Present and communicate the outcomes of the data analysis, using visualizations and reports to effectively convey insights and provide recommendations. 1️⃣2️⃣ Monitor and maintain the deployed model: Continuously monitor the model's performance, collect feedback, and periodically update the model with new data to ensure accuracy and relevance in the production environment.
