Some data visualisation links
These are from a long list of recommended links at Health Intelligence (I wouldn’t recommend all of the long list).
- We’ve linked previously to Hans Rosling’s video visualisation of life expectancy over time and across countries. Here’s a presentation of infant mortality over time across countries that is just a static graph: you can see that the static graph isn’t quite as good, but can still be very informative.
- From Michael Dubakov, “Visual Encoding”, ie, how to represent numbers on graphs
- From three Stanford researchers, a comparative guide to some graph styles and what they are useful for
