According to Chris, Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) requires:
- Persistence – Provides a non-volatile representation of the data we intend to explore.
- Query – Supports filtering and transformation operations to condition the data for analysis.
- Analysis – Enables the synthesis and execution of complex analytics on the data.
- Visualization – Facilitates rapid composition of a range of visualizations to interpret results.
