How do you find patterns?

Hi all,

I’m fairly new to QS so I apologize if this is a somewhat basic question, but I wasn’t able to google or find an answer searching these forums.

How do you spot patterns that cross data sets? For example, let’s say I’m tracking my sleep using Zeo, what I eat using an online food tracker (mynetdiary) and my productivity (measured by the number of items I check off in my to do list each day). Assuming I can export all of that data, are there tools that I can import it into to find patterns, particularly ones I may not have hypothesized?

Thanks,
Nick

The basic idea is that you plot your data and look for things that look worthy of further investigation.

Hi Nick,

This post by Measuredme on using Statwing would be a good place to start.
