This article was a really cool example showing the impact that data visualization on a given analysis. The author of this article used a web/network type structure to show the results of certain connections of a general matrix through links. Through this analysis, he was able to create a “social” network between certain people who lived over 200 years ago. We discovered, through this largely exploratory analysis, that Paul Revere was at the center of this network. He could also do this using centrality scores, which is a useful metric that I learned from this article as well. Similar to my colleague’s response to last week’s article, some of the statistical results were slightly confusing, but I understand the methodology for the most part for the analysis. I’d be interested in pursuing using centrality scores and these types of networks in some of our notebooks!
