Abstract:
|
Effective visual communication is a core task for all quantitative scientists including statisticians, epidemiologists, machine learning experts, bioinformaticians, etc. By using the right graphical principles, we can better understand data, highlight core insights and influence decisions toward appropriate actions. Without it, we can fool ourselves and others and pave the way to wrong conclusions and actions. In this talk, I outline three core principles of effective visual communication: Have a clear purpose; show the data clearly; and make the message obvious. Examples serve for illustration. Each principle is associated with a superhero mnemonic. Are you ready to acquire superpowers?
