Visual Analytics Project You can use SAS Visual Analytics to explore and view data, interact with and create reports, and display reports using a native mobile app or on the web. You can explore your data by using interactive visualizations such as charts, histograms, and tables. Report designers can easily point and click to query central sources of data. You can add filters and design the layout using tables, graphs, and gauges. You can use drag and drop to create a well- formatted report.

Please review the parts in the Visual Analytics User’s Guide textbook and go through the tutorials. Once you feel comfortable using the software, you are required to use it to develop analytical models (predictive and/or descriptive) for the following two datasets in order to gain actionable insight and report them with specific recommendations. The two datasets you will need to use for this project can be directly accessed when you login to SAS’s Visual Analytics using your Teradata University Network account. The two datasets are: HEART DISEASE DATABASE and HOLLYWOOD MOVIE DATASET.

In your report, you need to show that you have used all components mentioned above in order to do you analytical job. Your job is to use your descriptive and predictive analytics skills to find and report about at least 10 interesting nuggets of actionable knowledge about each of these two cases. Your discovery driven recommendations should be actionable and backed by your analytical output. How you present your findings and recommendation is entirely up to you to give you an opportunity to showcase your creativity and business analytics skills by choosing appropriate visualization, designing reports and overall, using data visualization for problem solving. So be creative and remember the aim of your report is to present hidden nuggets of useful information to users who are knowledgeable about their field (for example doctors, in the case of heart disease data and movie producers in the case of Hollywood movies data) but are NOT knowledgeable about analytics.

In case of the Heart Disease, you are assigned the role of an analyst at a healthcare consulting company and your new client is a large hospital chain that wants to deploy a business analytics solution using Visual Analytics for its research institution to assist the scientists in analyzing the data about the patients. They want to provide the information to the medial research team

about causes of heart disease. For example, do smoking or cholesterol levels play different roles in heart disease among men than women? In addition, you would like to showcase the potential of BA tools in advancing medical research. In the case of Hollywood Movies, you are assigned the role of an analyst at an entertainment consulting company and your new client is a large movie studio that wants to deploy a business analytics solution to assist the filmmaking team about factors impacting success of a movie, in terms of gross revenue.
