NHL Career Points Leaders (Lab 3 Task 1)

This is the first scatter plot created for task 1 in our 3rd lab for EAE 452. The scatterplot describes the relationship between Career Goals and Career Assists in the NHL top 100. In this excersise, we used filters to allow the user to explore the data at their own discretion. You can manipulate the data with the sliders and radio buttons on the right. - Ryan Facks zID 2027325

NHL Goals Per Shot Quadrant Chart (Lab 3 Task 2)

This is the four quadrant scatter plot for lab 3 task 2. In this scatterplot, we have average shots line going vertical and average goals line going horizontal to split the data into four quadrants. This helps us categorize players into high and low accuracy, and high and low production. We also label the players names to make them more easily identifiable. - Ryan Facks zID 2027325

Which chart is more effective?

I think it depends heavily on who is viewing the data. If you are a knowledgable about hockey and a big fan, you might like to explore the data more and therefore the first plot with the configurable filters may be more interesting you. Inversely so, if you are like me, and not a big sports fan, I find the second chart to be more easily digestible. On the second chart I can quickly ascertain a players name and what category they fall into. I also believe the second chart "does a lot of the organization for you" in the sense that, on the first chart, you must configure some of the filters yourself to truly achieve some data insights. - Ryan Facks zID 2027325

Final Project - Chicago Divvy Bike Usage in 2019

Image
← Back to Home Chicago Divvy Bike Usage Dashboard (EAE 452 Final Project) This dashboard is used for my final project for EAE 452. This dashboard seeks to provide a spatial temporal analysis of Divvy Bike usage across Chicago in 2019. I restricted my analysis to a single full year for two main reasons. One, the Chicago data portal only has data for 2013 - 2019 and two, there are simply too many records for Tableau to handle on my computer if I include all available data (It was over 21 million records!). The dashboard is constructed with four main components; The map view of stations and their usage numbers, the trips by hour bar chart, and the total trips bar chart, and an embeded Google maps area. All four elements are connected together due to a shared data source, dashboard actions, and there are data filters to further drill down on the data. For example, you can select a particular day of the week an...

Chicago Private School Dashboard and USA Child Poverty Dashboard (Lab 7 - Week 8)

Image
← Back to Home Chicago Private School Enrollment (Lab 7 - Dashboard 1) This dashboard was created using Chicago Data Portal public data on the enrollment status of private schools within Cook County Illinois. The dashboard consists of four main components which are a map symbolized by each town, a map showing enrollment numbers that is symbolized by color and proportional size, a listing of all address locations, and a Google Maps viewer that shows the satellite view of a selected location. All of the elements of this dashboard are tied together so if you click on a data point in one, it will zoom-to and/or highlight the corresponding data point in all of the other dashboard components. This dashboard seeked to employ our understanding of color and color blind friendly map making by using the website ColorBrewer2.org to find a color pallete that is suitable for the most amount of audiences. Addtionally, I ...
