What value is cross country GDP correlation? [Part One]

The above graph borders on chartjunk (and is nothing like Paul Butler’s amazing Facebook map). We can see some variation in color but mostly it is a set of lines between 152 country capitals with no means to determine which … Continue reading

A 3D Version of R’s curve() Function

I like exploring the behavior of functions of a single variable using the curve() function in R. One thing that seems to be missing from R’s base functions is a tool for exploring functions of two variables. I asked for examples of such a function on Twitter today and didn’t get any answers, so I

There have been some very good visualizations of the Wikileaks data so I decided to create one of the drug war in Mexico

The above map was made using data collected by Walter McKay, mainly from El Universal and El Diario reports. The data is stored as a Google Map...
