Art of visualization is very crucial for critical thinking.
It
plays an important role in statistical analysis. Right statistics can be
applied to right data, if scenario generating that data can be visualized
correctly. For example while analyzing air pollution data, a discussion with
the subject expert helps visualize the scenario. Exploratory data analysis helps to explore
this data further and identify underlying trends and patterns. There are
various software having graphical functions like rotation and grid, that also
help further understand this scenario. Probability of a complex real phenomenon
requires visualization of a multidimensional (n) probability space. Probability
theory is based on this visualization of n dimensional probability space.
Probability is defined as a ratio of total number of elements of two sets, set
of favorable cases and set of total cases. In such complex real life random phenomenon,
we should visualize the probability of an event as n dimensional volume in n dimensional
probability space.
Mental visualization of data collection process backed by a
good theory helps in the generation of good quality data. Thus development of
computer aided visualization skills build strong intra-disciplinary and
interdisciplinary bridges.
