Lecture 4 – Data Visualization & Plotting (Analyzing Police Shootings In US)

This lecture Mr. Gray showed us how we manipulated and drew several visualizations using the police shootings data for a certain query that was brought up by one of the students, and drew different conclusions.

We learned about:

    • Data Plotting
    • Finding Averages, Standard Deviations in order to identify abnormalities in data
    • Creating Visualizations from data findings
    • Using Wolfram & R (Mathematica) for mathematical computing

I’ll be further exploring the use of Wolfram to relate with some of the questions I came up with from the police shootings data, and see if I can draw meaningful conclusions.
