Software Demos - Modeling - Modeler Overview. Gallery of Data Visualization - Introducton. This Gallery of Data Visualization displays some examples of the Best and Worst of Statistical Graphics, with the view that the contrast may be useful, inform current practice, and provide some pointers to both historical and current work.
We go from what is arguably the best statistical graphic ever drawn, to the current record-holder for the worst. Like good writing, good graphical displays of data communicate ideas with clarity, precision, and efficiency. Like poor writing, bad graphical displays distort or obscure the data, make it harder to understand or compare, or otherwise thwart the communicative effect which the graph should convey. [See the Bad Writing Contest for examples of The Best of Bad Writing. See the ACCENT Principles for effective graphical display.] Www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=8&ved=0CF4QFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.law.duke.edu%2Flib%2Fdownloads%2FELSIntro.ppt&rct=j&q=empirical research legal scholarship&ei=rBQCTrz4Aq-y0AHFuvSRDg&usg=AFQjCNEyOIZ8TpO6FS0Ban6XpI2sRI22pQ&sig2=ATWewcIBvnSI1FkIlYx.
