Calling Bullshit 6.2: Misleading Axes

Описание: One of the most common abuses of data visualization involves the inappropriate ranges on the dependent variable (y) axis. Carl looks at a series of example, and explain why bar charts should include zero whereas line graphs need not — and often should not — do so. This example is treated in further detail in one of our http://callingbullshit.org articles: http://callingbullshitbook.com/tools/...

Course: INFO 198 / BIOL 106B. University of Washington
Instructors: Carl T. Bergstrom and Jevin West
Synopsis: Our world is saturated with bullshit. Learn to detect and defuse it.

The course will be offered as a 1-credit seminar this spring through the Information School at the University of Washington. We aim to expand it to a 3 or 4 credit course for 2017-2018. For those who cannot attend in person, we aim to videotape the lectures this spring and make video clips freely available on the web.
