Addressing the Mystery of Population Decline of the Rose-Crested Blue Pipit in a Nature Preserve using Data Visualization

Two main methods for exploring patterns in data are data visualization and machine learning. The former relies on humans for investigating the patterns while the latter relies on machine learning algorithms. This paper tries to find the patterns using only data visualization. It addresses the mystery of population decline of a bird, named Rose-Crested Blue Pipit, in a hypothetical nature preserve. Different visualization techniques are used and the reasons of the problem are found and categorized. Finally, the solutions for preventing the future similar problems are suggested. This paper can be useful for getting introduced to some data visualization tools and techniques.
