reminds me of a talk by John Stasko: "if you already know what you need, just do statistics... data visualization is either Exploratory or Explanatory" (I am paraphrasing)
Thank you Caroline for the response. Definitely adding these to my list of "dataviz inspirations." On that note, are there "inspirations" that you like to draw from, such as individuals or research groups, that you'd like to share?
The visualizations on the project page are super neat (I am particularly drawn to this one...). Could you elaborate on how you evaluate these data visualizations, particularly in terms of how they aid decision making? Is there a particular set of metrics you can highlight that have been useful?
