Displaying Bivariate Data with Developed Cloud Based Data Visualization Tool

Abstract

Data visualization is one of the hot topics of statistics. Programming languages such as R and Python are needed to create high-quality graphs. However, these programs are quite complex to use and difficult for researchers with no programming background. In this study, a cloud-based web application, named DATAVIS2, is developed to draw bivariate graphs. The developed application works independently of the operating system and the web browser. The DATAVIS2 web-tool includes fourteen different graphs for quantitative and categorical variables. The developed web-tool is available at https://beststat.shinyapps.io/datavis2/.

Keywords
