I’ll be in Minneapolis on Jan. 20 (Thursday afternoon) to speak to the Tableau user group there about the newly-released 2nd edition of Tableau Your Data!, using Tableau for predictive analytics and discovery, and the field of data science in general. It's the first of many TUGs i'll be attending...
Big data has been the rage for a couple of years. There have been many posts written on the explosion of digital data. It’s no longer surprising to learn that we are creating more digital data through machine-generated sources than humans. What’s more surprising to me...
If you stay up with the latest and greatest of the data analytics community, by now you have heard of Spark – the Apache project for big data processing, machine learning and streaming data. Tableau has a connection for Spark SQL, a feature of Spark...
As a resident of Baton Rouge for a few years and a proud South Louisiana Cajun since birth, most traditions and memories I hold dearly revolve around delicious meals. Whether it was a graduation celebration or a football tailgate, “what’s on the menu?” was always...
Have you heard that if you send your husband to purchase diapers at the grocery store it is statistically more likely he will also purchase beer? Unexpected relationships like this in your data can be found with what is known as market basket analysis, or...
I grew up in Oklahoma, but I can’t claim to have felt an earthquake in the state until I moved back in 2014. A series of earthquakes in the last few weeks prompted me to find a data set and take a look in Tableau....
When dealing with large data sets speed can be crucial. Fortunately, Alteryx Predictive Tools utilizes R to provide a seamless framework to extend the toolset that comes with Alteryx Designer. This means that Alteryx users benefit from all of the powerful packages developed by the...
During the holidays I spent a some time reading about the terms data science, big data and data visualization. This is part of my annual thinking and planning cycle. Because there is so much buzz surrounding these words I wanted to sort out how to...
With built-in Tableau integration, using maps couldn't be easier! Occasionally, however, we want to get creative and display more information within the map. Recently, I was asked, "When I have a parameter to choose which measure I want to view, how can I display a different color...
Asking a magic eight ball the answer to questions we have about the future may not be the ideal way to get the right answers, but is predicting the future something that is even possible? Will I get a new car for Christmas? Will I...
I know we’re already a few days into the new year, but let me officially say: "Welcome to 2016 from InterWorks! THE FUTURE IS NOW!" Unfortunately, we didn’t get real hoverboards this past year like “Back to the Future Part II” prophesied (we got these instead),...
Recently, our own Dan Murray blogged about NFL Players and their arrests. This got me thinking about the risk of a newly drafted NFL Player being arrested, which of course also got me thinking about survival analysis. Wait. What did I just say? Survival Analysis Explained Survival...
As another college football season draws to a close, the sport as a whole is in great shape. Ratings are high, and the revenues of individual programs are higher than ever. That said, there remain some areas for improvement – particularly when it comes to...
Credit for this viz goes directly to InterWorks EU Managing Director Mel Stephenson, who taught me that a great viz should include an aspect of psychology, as well. So, someone recently asked me what's the most interesting viz I've seen, and there's one that stands out in...
Who doesn’t love efficiency? We are finishing up with the rendering category today by returning to custom shapes. Let’s get started: "If using custom shapes, use transparent background PNGs instead of JPGs. Views will render cleaner, and shape files will take up less space." Didn’t know we’d get...
Some of my favorite mobile apps like Slack, Feedly and Google Maps have a slide-out menu that appears when I tap a small icon. That common design element makes plenty of room for user inputs and gets them out of the way when you’re done...
Pitchfork, one of the most well-known online music review sites, just released their "Top 50 Albums of the Year" list for 2015. They do a great job listing out each album, sharing some background info and a track from each album along the way. Still, this got me thinking: Why not take this...
