Assignment 1

1. Anscombe’s Examples

Try Anscombe’s examples.

I tried Anscombe’s examples and I found them to be very interesting. I thought it was very cool how the data was so different but the predictive line was the same. I think it isimportat to plot your data or at least do some extensive EDA before making any assumptions.

2. Generative Art

Google “generative art”. Cite some examples.

I found several artists who do generative art like Ben Kovach and Tyler Hobbs. Their stuff was very unique and I enjoyed looking at their work. I also found a website called “Artbreeder” which is a generative art website that allows you to create your own art. I thought it was very cool and I enjoyed playing around with it.

3. Run Fall.R Script

Run the Fall.R script.

I executed the script and generated the following plot:

I thought the plot was very unique and I wanted it to reflect a maple color as that is what I grew up with in the fall. I think the plot is very well done and I am happy with the results.

4. Chart Critique

Write a critque on a chart in published work.

I critiqued the following chart:

link to chart

This chart was from fivethirtyeight of ABC News and I thought it was very well done. One thing I do have to say about it is that I wish that it had more clearly labeled the average current percentage of popularity for each candidate. I think that a note for Kennedy’s popularity would have been helpful as well. I think that the chart is very informative and that it cited its sources very well afterwards bringing in an aggregate of polls in order to create this visualization.
