Time-Series Graph00:54

Time-Series Graph

4.8K
A time-series graph is a line graph with repeated measurements taken at successive intervals of time. It is also called a time series chart. To construct a time-series graph, one must look at both pieces of a paired data set. The horizontal axis is used to plot the time increments, and the vertical axis is used to plot the values of the variable that one is measuring. By using the axes in this way, each point on the graph will correspond to time and a measured quantity. The points on the graph...

Review and Preview

10.5K
Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Interpreting R Charts

240
R chart, or range chart, is a fundamental tool in statistical process control used to monitor the variability within a process. It complements the X-bar (x̄) chart by focusing on the range of the data, rather than individual values, providing a clear picture of the process dispersion over time.
An R chart plots the range of subsets of measurements collected from a process. Each point on the chart represents the range—defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

2.4K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Histogram01:05

Histogram

15.9K
The histogram is a graphical representation in the x-y form of data distribution in a data set. The horizontal x-axis is labeled with what the data represents (for instance, distance from your home to school). The vertical y-axis is labeled either frequency or relative frequency (or percent frequency or probability).
A histogram graph consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. The heights of the bars correspond to frequency values. The graph will have the same shape with respective labels. The...

    • Data Visualization
    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Information Design

    Background:

    • Animated Interactive Graphics (GIFs) are increasingly popular for data storytelling on social media.
    • Existing research on data visualization storytelling formats (e.g., infographics, data comics) is more developed than for data-GIFs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the design factors influencing the understandability of data-GIFs.
    • To establish design principles for effective data-GIF creation.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of 108 online data-GIFs to create a structured design space.
    • Semi-structured interviews and an online study with 118 participants.
    • Analysis of how design dimensions impact viewer comprehension of the core message.

    Main Results:

    • Identified specific design dimensions, including animation encoding, context preservation, and repetition, significantly affect data-GIF understandability.
