| Start-Up
| |
| * "Excellence in statistical graphics consists of complex ideas communicated with clarity, precision, and efficiency. Graphical displays should:
| |
| ** show the data
| |
| ** induce the viewer to think about the substance rather than about methodology, graphic design, the technology of graphic production, or something else
| |
| ** avoid distorting what the data have to say
| |
| ** present many numbers in a small space
| |
| ** make large data sets coherent
| |
| ** encourage the eye to compare different p[pieces of data
| |
| ** reveal the data at several levels of detail, from a broad overview to the fine structure
| |
| ** serve a reasonably clear purpose: description, exploration, tabulation, or decoration
| |
| ** be closely integrated with the statistical and verbal descriptions of a data set"
| |
| ** - "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information", pg. 13
| |
| * "Graphics should be reserved for the richer, more complex, more difficult statistical material." - "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information", pg. 30
| |
|
| |
| ** Integrate supportive text to the plotting filed to make the information perception easier for the viewer
| |
| ** The size of type could be quite small
| |
|
| |
| ** Words on and around the graphics are highly effective in telling viewers how to allocate their attention to the various parts of data display
| |
| ** For graphics words should tell the viewer how to read the design and not what to read in terms of content
| |
| ** Make the reader choose how to perceive an information, do whatever it takes to understand the material (from presentation)
| |
| * Manners of presenting (from the lecture)
| |
| ** Research problem, examples of problem solutions
| |
| ** Content: what the problem is, relevance, solution
| |
| ** Dedicate 8 min of you presentation for audience to pre-read of the material
| |
| ** Present the material as it was given for the pre-read. Nothing like repetition improves the understanding
| |
| ** Credibility on speech: give the reasons to believe - documentation
| |
| ** Conclude with question to personalize/particularize
