Notes
- Dealing with extreme values in a dataset by using log scale
- Sometimes bar charts are not the best option for magnitude comparison - Sun-Pluto Problem
- Dot plot for showing distribution (p 113)
- Simpler version of Dot Strip Plot - plot only 3 points (min - med - max)
- But the important trade-off is it has less summary information that Dot Strip Plot and Histogram.
- p 165 How charts work - visualise Deviation
- To research for evidence: Show Individual data points
Relationship to show
Variants
- Dot plot with log scale = solve bar chart problem
- Revisited dot plot (p 49) = solve paired bar chart problem
- Dot plot with a line connected between 2 dots(for 2 series)
