LIS 4317 Visual Analytics - Module 5 Assignment

For this assignment, I will be working with a dataset containing data regarding average position and time. Following the part to whole design framework, I decided to focus on the part of  the data where time spans from half a second (0.5) to the maximum time recorded (3.8).

With a filtered dataset, I created a simple scatter plot with Plot.ly to graph the data.

Here's the plot:


Observing the plot, we can quickly see that as time increases, average position increases too. However, it appears that average position levels off around 1. More data is definitely needed to further understand why the data points seems to stop at this point.

Thinking about the Part to Whole Design Framework and how it applies to this plot, the first thing I appreciate is its ability to zoom in on an aspect of the data like time from 0.5 to 3.8. Sometimes, looking at the full picture of the data can be a bit overwhelming and you may miss key information. By taking a part of the data, we can clearly see that steady climb in position and time. 

Here's a link to the plot:
