Embodiments of the present disclosure data analysis include displaying, via a data analysis interface, a data visualization in a first region of the data analysis interface; and displaying, via the data analysis interface, an analysis thread visualization in a second region of the data analysis interface. The analysis thread visualization depicts an analysis thread graph including a first node corresponding to the data visualization and an edge corresponding to an analysis path between the first node and a second node. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: displaying, via a data analysis interface, a data visualization in a first region of the data analysis interface; displaying, via the data analysis interface, an analysis thread visualization in a second region of the data analysis interface, wherein the analysis thread visualization depicts an analysis thread graph including a first node corresponding to the data visualization and an edge corresponding to an analysis path between the first node and a second node; and displaying, via the data analysis interface, a plurality of queries in a third region of the data analysis interface. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the analysis thread graph comprises an additional edge corresponding to an additional analysis path between the first node and a third node, wherein the third node comprises a sibling node of the second node. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the plurality of queries includes a query requesting additional data about an element of the data visualization. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the plurality of queries includes a query corresponding to the second node. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising: receiving user input selecting the query corresponding to the second node; and displaying an additional data visualization corresponding to the second node based on the user input. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving user input selecting a query from the plurality of queries; and generating an additional data visualization corresponding to the query. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising: identifying a dataset corresponding to the data visualization; and transforming the dataset based on the query, wherein the additional data visualization is based on the transformed dataset. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising: adding a third node to the analysis thread graph based on the user input. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising: generating an answer to the query based on the user input. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying a dataset corresponding to the data visualization; and generating the plurality of queries based on the dataset. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a user input indicating the second node of the analysis thread graph via the analysis thread visualization; and displaying an additional data visualization corresponding to the second node based on the user input. ### Claim 12 A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code for data analytics, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to: generate an analysis thread graph including a first node corresponding to a data visualization and an edge corresponding to an analysis path between the first node and a second node; receive user input identifying the second node; select an additional data visualization corresponding to the second node based on the user input; display the data visualization in a first region of a data analysis interface; and display an analysis thread visualization in a second region of the data analysis interface. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, the code further comprising instructions executable by the processor to: display a plurality of queries in a third region of the data analysis interface. ### Claim 14 An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; at least one memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor; a graph component configured to generate an analysis thread graph including a first node corresponding to a data visualization and an edge corresponding to an analysis path between the first node and a second node; a data analysis interface configured to display the data visualization in a first region of the data analysis interface and an analysis thread visualization in a second region of the data analysis interface; and a navigation component configured to receive user input identifying the second node and to select an additional data visualization corresponding to the second node based on the user input. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising: a query component configured to identify a dataset corresponding to the data visualization and to generate a plurality of queries based on the dataset. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising: an answer component configured to generate an answer to a query based on another user input. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising: a visualization component configured to transform a dataset to obtain a transformed dataset, and to generate the data visualization based on the transformed dataset.
