"Eyeball analysis of data" is sort of a slang phrase to mean the act of
plotting a data set and observing its various peaks and slews and
understanding its general behaviour.

I would be grateful if someone can tell me the Japanese equivalent of this
expression.

Thanks.

"Eyeball analysis of data" equivalent japanese word
I might be wrong but I feel like the term 「目視検査」might be applicable here. If
anyone else have a better alternative I would welcome your answers.

The closest one would be:

[目測]{もくそく}

It means the act of measuring with the eye.
_Reference：[英辞郎(dictionary)](https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E7%9B%AE%E6%B8%AC)_

You can use it like this: 目測で線を引く＝draw line by eyeballing it.

It is often used in occasions like "eyeball the distance・height・length・(any
measurable quality)" etc.
