Old Price Tables in Modern d3 Visualization
In my post Dust off 130 Year Old Gold Books on Google Bookshelf, I reproduced some of the old and way out of copyright price tables from the appendices in Gold and Prices Since 1873 by James Laurence Laughlin using latticeExtra xyplot. Now, with the clickme multiline d3 ractive built in my last post
A nifty line plot to visualize multivariate time series
A few days ago a colleague came to me for advice on the interpretation of some data. The dataset was large and included measurements for twenty-six species at several site-year-plot combinations. A substantial amount of effort had clearly been made to ensure every species at every site over several years was documented. I don’t pretend 
Easter
This morning, there was an interesting post entitled “why does Easter move around so much?” online on http://economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/… In my time series classes, I keep saying that sometimes, series can exhibit seasonlity, but the seasonal effect can be quite irregular. It is the cas for river levels, where snowmelt can have a huge impact, and it is irregular. Similarly, chocolate sales...

Violin plots and regional income distribution
While preparing my slides for statistical graphics, a plot really caught my eye when I was playing around with the data.
I started off by plotting the time seriesof GNI per capita by country, and as expected it got quite messy and...
Animating neural networks from the nnet package
My research has allowed me to implement techniques for visualizing multivariate models in R and I wanted to share some additional techniques I’ve developed, in addition to my previous post. For example, I think a primary obstacle towards developing a useful neural network model is an under-appreciation of the effects model parameters have on model 
The evolution of EU legislation (graphed with ggplot2 and R)
During the last half century the European Union has adopted more than 100 000 pieces of legislation. In this presentation I look into the patterns of legislative adoption over time. I tried to create clear and engaging graphs that provide … Continue reading →
