(Lab 10):
Goals
- Explore ways to visualize Text
- Explore ways to visualize metadata about a text
We have a few questions:
- Have there been any trends in the length, lexical density, or significance of State of the Union Addresses?
- Did George W. bush or Barack Obama have an overall different tone to their addresses?
Getting Started
There are really 2 datasets here: the metrics and the first 500 words of each address. These are on 2 sheets. The metrics give an overall, distant description of the datasets. All of these metrics could reasonably be created in Excel or a text editor.
We merged two datasets and created a line chart, stacked bar charts, and Word Clouds. We depict the analysis as a story.
