How does ChartPixel ensure that its results are trustworthy?
We ensure that domain knowledge and statistics go hand in hand with AI. However, when in doubt, domain knowledge trumps AI. While our AI or ML algorithms may suggest appropriate statistical tests or filter out charts deemed to be of low quality, we generally avoid allowing the AI to create new tests or generate additional charts. Essentially, we utilize AI to narrow down existing options rather than expanding them. It is a funnel in our opinion and not a broadcast.
What algorithms and techniques does ChartPixel use to generate charts and insights?
ChartPixel uses a blend of AI and rule-based domain knowledge. It was important for us not to solely rely on AI, but to have AI assist us in leading the analysis in the right direction and adding context. We provide the framework where AI can safely play with rules that we have carefully crafted and predefined.
My file upload does not work, what should I do?
For best results make sure you upload a CSV or Excel file and that your data is in a raw data format with each column having a clear header in row 1. Since we use statistics to backup our visualizations and to ensure you can trust your data, your upload should have a sufficiently large number of rows and several columns. See our sample dataset repository for some examples on datasets that ChartPixel is good in processing.
Should I encode my data before I upload to ChartPixel?
For best results do not encode your data. Our AI algorithms work best with original column values.
How can I get the best of my survey or questionnaire data?
We recommend to first upload your survey data without renaming column names or deleting identifier columns such as, Response ID or Completion time. ChartPixel uses all columns to make inferences about the type of survey and can automatically combine multi-select columns.
