Visualization series: Insight from Cleveland and Tufte on plotting numeric data by groups | Solomon Messing

"A good visualization conveys key information to those who may have trouble interpreting numbers and/or statistics, which can make your findings accessible to a wider audience (more on this below). Visualizations also give your audience a break from lexical processing, which is especially useful when you are presenting your findings–people can listen to you and process the findings from a well-designed visual at the same time, but most people have trouble listening while reading your PowerPoint bullet points. Visualizations also convey key information embedded in massive amounts of data, which can aid your own exploratory analysis of data, no matter how massive."

[1107.0385] An algorithm for autonomously plotting solution sets in the presence of turning points

"Plotting solution sets for particular equations may be complicated by the existence of turning points. Here we describe an algorithm which not only overcomes such problematic points, but does so in the most general of settings. Applications of the algorithm are highlighted through two examples: the first provides verification, while the second demonstrates a non-trivial application. The latter is followed by a thorough run-time analysis. While both examples deal with bivariate equations, it is discussed how the algorithm may be generalized for space curves in $R^{3}$."

Nelson's Weblog: culture / fisk-mississippi-slippy-map

"The map is truly a beautiful bit of geologic history. For more info on it, see my previous blog post. So many amazing swirls and details in the river's course. Rendering it as a slippy map makes it easy to see the map in great detail, for instance the Old River Control Structure, a site threatened by the floodwaters of 2011. (Interestingly, the modern channel was built on relatively dry land.) The opacity slider (or text box) in the upper right lets you look through the Fisk map to a contemporary Google map. Check out this flood plain, for example. The satellite view contains echoes of the various old meanders, too, like these curved fields."

[1007.2958] A Machine Learning Approach to Recovery of Scene Geometry from Images

"Recovering the 3D structure of the scene from images yields useful information for tasks such as shape and scene recognition, object detection, or motion planning and object grasping in robotics. In this thesis, we introduce a general machine learning approach called unsupervised CRF learning based on maximizing the conditional likelihood. We apply our approach to computer vision systems that recover the 3-D scene geometry from images. We focus on recovering 3D geometry from single images, stereo pairs and video sequences. Building these systems requires algorithms for doing inference as well as learning the parameters of conditional Markov random fields (MRF). Our system is trained unsupervisedly without using ground-truth labeled data.…"

[1006.4608] Evolving Graph Representation and Visualization

"The study of evolution of networks has received increased interest with the recent discovery that many real-world networks possess many things in common, in particular the manner of evolution of such networks. By adding a dimension of time to graph analysis, evolving graphs present opportunities and challenges to extract valuable information. This paper introduces the Evolving Graph Markup Language (EGML), an XML application for representing evolving graphs and related results. Along with EGML, a software tool is provided for the study of evolving graphs. New evolving graph drawing techniques based on the force-directed graph layout algorithm are also explored. Our evolving graph techniques reduce vertex movements between graph instances, so that an evolving graph can be viewed with smooth transitions"

A Protovis Primer, Part 1 | eagereyes

"This introduction is based on my experiences with using Protovis in my Visualization and Visual Communication class earlier this spring. While the concepts involved are really not that difficult, they are rather foreign to students who have not been exposed to functional programming. And since that is also the case for a lot of hobbyists and people wanting to do visualization who do not have a computer science background, I imagine they run into the same problems."

Protovis 3.2 released – more examples and layouts

"The most recent version of Protovis, the open-source visualization library that uses JavaScript and SVG, was just released not too long ago - this time with more layout and examples. This is especially helpful since Protovis was "designed to be learned by example." Among the new stuff is the ever popular streamgraphs, along with the force-directed layout. With only 10 to 20 lines of code, you'll have your viz, so lots of bang for the buck."

Lee Byron » Else » Stream Graph Paper

"In February 2008, the New York Times published an unusual chart of box office revenues for 7500 movies over 21 years. The chart was based on a similar visualization, developed by the first author, that displayed trends in music listening. This paper describes the design decisions and algorithms behind these graphics, and discusses the reaction on the Web. We suggest that this type of complex layered graph is effective for displaying large data sets to a mass audience. We provide a mathematical analysis of how this layered graph relates to traditional stacked graphs and to techniques such as ThemeRiver, showing how each method is optimizing a different “energy function”. Finally, we discuss techniques for coloring and ordering the layers of such graphs. Throughout the paper, we emphasize the interplay between considerations of aesthetics and legibility."

Streamgraph code ported to JavaScript

"Lee Byron open-sourced his streamgraph code in Processing about a month ago. Jason Sundram has taken that and ported it to JavaScript, using Processing.js.
The algorithms are the same as that in the original, but of course the natural benefit is that people don't need Java to run it their browsers. Jason has also added a few features including dynamic sizing, more straightforward settings, and some interaction with zoom and hover control. Really nice work."

Meanwhile the cost of benefits in state and local govt jobs just kept rising, with barely any break, both before and after the financial bust. This is not good."

"Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library.
Raphaël uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. This means every graphical object you create is also a DOM object, so you can attach JavaScript event handlers or modify them later. Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy.
Raphaël currently supports Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.

[Insert triumphalist Collaborationist pronouncement that I will someday be forced to make sheepish fun of here]

This is more cool than I expected anything to be in 2008.

MarketSci Blog

"Timer Seeds is a small group of timing-industry professionals (either strategy developers like me or sales/marketing) with an idea that goes something like this:

No matter how good we are at developing strategies and managing money, there are unsung developers out there, laboring away in their basements, that are even better. But because they lack either the ability or the time, their strategies never ever leave that basement. They never make the transition to becoming a professional strategy developer.

And based on that vision, we launched Timer Seeds. We find developers, take the required steps to make their programs marketable, and then place their programs with investors, financial advisors, hedge funds, and other industry professionals. The developer receives a percentage of assets under management, something that can become very lucrative for very good programs."

Calculated Risk: LA Ports in October: Export Traffic Below 2007

"But even more concerning for the U.S. is that export traffic is declining. For the LA area ports, outbound traffic fell off a cliff in September, and was even lower in October. Outbound traffic was about 8% below the level of October 2007.

The key supports for the economy earlier this year - consumer spending, exports, and investment in non-residential structures - are all declining sharply now."
