Visual Presentation of Quantitative Data

What is the issue? Most of us work with and present (in talks or publications) quantitative data. Quantitative data are a part of content in online course materials. We want to be effective in getting our message across Minimal goals: Don’t lie (at least not by accident) Display graphical stylistic competence Similar to writing stylistic competence: stick to point, don’t be verbose, etc.)

Visual Presentation of Quantitative Information Edward Tufte, John Tukey, etc have popularized better visualization of quantitative data. Statistical information

Quantitative Information Graphical displays of quantitative information should have Power, Truth, Grace Show the data Induce viewer to think about substance Not methodology, graphic design, graphical technique, etc. Avoid distorting what they data have to say Present many numbers in a small space Make large data sets coherent Be closely integrated with statistical and verbal descriptions

Power

4 Data Sets (Tufte) What is “interesting” about this information?

4 Data Sets (Tufte) What is “interesting” about this information? N = 11, mean of x: 9.0, mean of y: 7.5 Regression equation: y = 3 + 0.5x; Sum of squares: 110.0 Correlation coefficient: .82; r2 = .67

Visualize It

Data need to have meaning to have power How might be be clued in that there is something to be suspicious about? Scales are not comparable. Radiation in hundredths of a percent, vs. a 50% change in stock prices Stock price is a ratio scale: There is a zero Solar radiation is on an arbitrary measurement scale

Map-based presentations Pro: Lots of data. Interesting things to explore. Con: Wrongly equates visual importance of counties to geographic size, not population size

No Power We can calculate Data Density: # of entries/area of graphic

Newspaper Graphics Neither example has much power. The one on the right has a floating baseline and it is hard to interpret (the key is in the caption, not the graphic).

Another Powerful Example

Train Schedule

Train Schedule

Napoleon’s Invasion of Russia

Small Multiples I will say a word. What is the first word that pops into your head in response? Statistics. A: Lie

Truth I will say a word. What is the first word that pops into your head in response? Statistics. A: Lie.

Hiding the Truth (1) How is this company doing? It looks OK.

Hiding the Truth (2) It doesn’t look so good when you realize that they have carefully manipulated the baseline to give misleading results.

Lying by Accident (?) This is (probably) a simple example of incompetence. The rightmost bar for each airline is showing only part of the year. So it appears to be down.

Misleading (for whatever reason)

Fuel Economy Standards (1)

Fuel Economy Standards (2)

Fuel Economy Standards (3)

More Binning Problems

Grace

Avoid chart junk

Minimize data ink

Use of Color
