Abstract:
Big data have revolutionized the way data are processed and used across all fields. In the past, research was primarily conducted with a focus on hypothesis confirmation using sample data. However, in the era of big data, this has shifted to gaining insights from the collected data. Visualizing vast amounts of data to derive insights is crucial. For instance, leveraging big data for visualization can help identify and predict characteristics and patterns related to various infectious diseases. When data are presented in a visual format, patterns within the data become clear, making it easier to comprehend and provide deeper insights. This study aimed to comprehensively discuss data visualization and the various techniques used in the process. It also sought to enable researchers to directly use Python programs for data visualization. By providing practical visualization exercises on GitHub, this study aimed to facilitate their application in research endeavors.

Bar Graph
Multiple Bar Graph
Each bar or column in the multiple bar graph represents a data value. These graphs are used primarily in interrelating two or more sets of data. The categories of different kinds of data are listed along the horizontal or x-axis, whereas...
Pie Chart
In a pie chart, the central angle, the arc length of each slice, and the area are directly proportional to the quantity or percentage it represents. Some real-world examples that can be depicted using pie charts include marks obtained by students...

Boxplot
Modified Boxplots
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...
