Key motivations of data exploration include Helping to select the right tool for preprocessing or analysis Making use of humans’ abilities to recognize patterns People can recognize patterns not captured by data analysis tools Related to the area of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) Created by statistician John Tukey Seminal book is Exploratory Data Analysis by Tukey A nice online introduction can be found in Chapter 1 of the NIST Engineering Statistics Handbook . | Data Mining: Exploring Data Lecture Notes for Chapter 3 Introduction to Data Mining by Tan, Steinbach, Kumar What is data exploration?

Summary Statistics Summary statistics are numbers that summarize properties of the data Summarized properties include frequency, location and spread Examples: location - mean spread - standard deviation Most summary statistics can be calculated in a single
