Exploratory Data Analysis on Brazil forest fire using Plotly
EDA(Exploratory Data Analysis): It is a term for certain kinds of initial analysis and insights done with data sets, usually early on in an analytical process. “It's kind of a story telling through visualization of graphs”.
To get a “feel” for the data, it is not enough for a data scientist to know what is in the data; also a data scientist must know what is not in the data, and the only way to do that is to draw on our own human pattern-recognition and comparative abilities in the context of a series of judicious graphical techniques applied to the data.
Plotly: Its an interactive analytics/statistic dashboard, that brings the insights into better visualizations for the user to view.
Every Data Scientist and an aspiring Data Scientist must be aware of interactive analytics/statistics dashboard visualization like plotly, tableau, microsoft power BI and so on.
