Feed: Planet big data. Author: Sandeep Raut. Data Visualization is not new, it has been around in various forms for more than thousands of years.  Ancient Egyptians used symbolic paintings, drawn on walls & pottery, to tell timeless stories of their culture for generations to come. Human brain understands the information via pictures more easily than writing sentences, essays, spreadsheets etc. You must have seen traffic symbols while driving…why do they have only 1 picture instead of writing a whole sentence like school ahead, deer crossing or narrow bridge? Because you as driver can grasp the image faster while keeping ... Read More

Author: Phillip Lowe. 9 August, 2017 | Phillip Lowe Data Scaffolding – Easy steps to fill in missing data Some data visualisations have a need to show rows of data that actually have had no data reported. For example, a physiotherapist would like a visual representation of the location of injuries on the body. A data set of all injuries across all sports will show all body parts, however when filtering down to an individual athlete, there will be gaps where there have not been any injuries. This is an ideal use case for using a ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Gregory Thompson. A long, long time ago (maybe 10 years) the data analytics industry was fairly easy to define and track.

SQL on Hadoop is improving continuously, but it is still common to wait minutes or even a couple hours for one single query to return, especially when the dataset is huge. Most of these systems are resource-intensive where queries compete for runtime resources and performance declines when the workload is high. To solve this problem, Kyligence Analytics Platform (KAP) enables interactive analytics with sub-second query latency on massive dataset. KAP is a ... Read More
