Will give a presentation on :
This is a new instance of a seminar given about once a year about perception and visualization related to statistics. This seminar is evolving slowly. If you attended the last edition you may not learn many new things. The new topics include dashboard design and the ability of AI tools to interpret charts and tables.
Charts and tables are some of the main ways with which we communicate statistical information. This communication is therefore essential if we want to make effective contributions. Making effective charts and tables requires (conscious or intuitive) knowledge of perception and of the workings of the mind.
In this talk, I start with a few examples of charts and tables which we will discuss together. This leads to the first chapter on perception and mental processing. The second short chapter will summarize basic rules of effective communication. On this basis, we will develop useful principles and techniques for reading, preparing, and improving visual communication in statistics.
