In today's data-driven world, understanding statistical models is crucial for effective analysis and decision making. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, this book equips you with the foundational knowledge to grasp and implement statistical models within Tableau. Gain the confidence to speak fluently about the models you employ, driving adoption of your insights and analysis across your organization. As AI continues to revolutionize industries, possessing the skills to leverage statistical models is no longer optional—it's a necessity. Stay ahead of the curve and harness the full potential of your data by mastering the ability to interpret and utilize the insights generated by these models. Whether you're a data enthusiast, analyst, or business professional, this book empowers you to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of data analytics with confidence and proficiency. Start your journey toward data mastery today. Statistical analysis and data visualization are often considered two separate things. However, both disciplines rely on one another. To understand your data and make accurate predictions or assumptions through statistical analysis, you must visualize your data. On the other hand, to deliver actionable insights and enable your audience to get the most from data visualizations, we must back up our assumptions with some statistical analysis. This book is to help you bring statistics into your visualizations in Tableau. You will learn how to read and interpret statistical models, implement them in Tableau, and ultimately draw out actionable insights to present to your stakeholders. Most decisions using data come with risks; it is your responsibility to arm the decision maker with as much information as possible and to mitigate those risks. R is a programming language and open source software environment primarily used for statistical computing and graphics. Python is a popular language in various fields, including web development (using frameworks like Django and Flask), Data Science and Machine Learning, and automation.

What if I told you something that could empower our third sector and activists to enhance their capacity? From gathering evidence for funding tenders to campaigning for crucial social issues and much more? It's called open data, yet many in social action remain unaware of it. Primarily shaped by corporate entities, open data seems tailored only for technologists, alienating the third sector. But in reality, it's a powerful tool for social change, bolstering civil society, and creating resilient communities. You probably don’t realize that you are using data right now. Take your phone, for example. Do you check the weather before you leave the house or even on the TV? Perhaps you’ll be looking to move home soon. If you have children, would you check out local schools or transport links? Maybe you’re considering going to university. How will you compare the cost of your course to a different one? If you’re lost, the first thing you’ll probably do is take out your phone and open your GPS map app, right? The possibilities are limitless, from tracking your fitness or weight control to planning which bus or train you’ll take the next morning. The answer to all those questions will most likely involve a website or app that uses data to operate and do its job. It is built on data—data that is changing in real time. Big Data—sometimes data can get really vast! It is essentially a huge digital repository of information, comprising extensive and intricate datasets that surpass the capacity of conventional data processing tools. It encompasses structured data, often found in databases, as well as unstructured data such as text, images, and real‑time sensor readings collected from diverse sources. To extract valuable insights, detect patterns, and uncover trends within these massive datasets, organizations leverage advanced analytical techniques and cutting‑edge technologies.
