Data Visualisation and Statistical Analysis within the Decision Making Process

Jamie Mahoney

2013

Abstract

Large amounts of data are collected and stored within universities, but little is done to reuse this data to support decision making processes. This paper discusses the use of data visualisation and statistical analysis as methods of making sense of the collected data, analysing it to assess the effects of historical institutional decisions and discusses the use of such techniques to aid decision making processes.
