Datasets

We will be working on a variety of datasets in this book, and we will analyze their data. We will make many charts along the way. Here is how we will go about it:

• Visualizing data distributions:
  • Headlines
  • Distributions
  • Comparisons

• Finding trends in time series or multi-feature datasets:
  • Joint distributions with time series data
  • Joint distributions with a size feature
  • Joint distributions
• Discovering hierarchical and graphical relationships between features:
  • Hierarchical maps
  • Path maps
• Plotting features with location information on maps:
  • Heatmaps using Mapbox
  • 2D maps using Mapbox
  • 3D maps using MapGL
  • World map

Superset plugs into any SQL database that has a Python SQLAlchemy connector, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, ...
