The key stopping-off points in buffing

Buffing (or finishing and polishing) data involves:

• looking at how to picture data.
• working out how to describe time series data and the terminology that you should use.
• how to avoid having the 'wool pulled over your eyes' in your data handling work.
• checking out what lies beneath the data you're working with.
