Google Draws From Greatest Statistical Graph of All-Time
Analytics is about taking action. But if you don’t understand what the data is telling you, you can’t do much with it.
That’s why data visualization is white hot in the rush to manage big data. In response, Google will be releasing flow visualization as a new feature in Google Analytics over the coming weeks.
Google referenced what is considered by some to be the greatest statistical graph of all-time – a visualization that charts Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia, a campaign that had a casualty rate of 97.7% -- as the inspiration for the new feature.
Google hopes to brings this type of visual clarity to the fire hose of data it collects about your sites.
[Disclaimer: Your casualty rates may differ].
