Intro

Here are some graphs I enjoyed generating. Most of the time I borrowed the code (don’t want to say I steal it :)from the web and make tiny changes.

30+ kids and 7 variables

One of my colleagues hands out a ‘complete the lyrics’ questionnaire to his 30+ student fellows.. Students (Turkish learners) listen a Turkish song and fill in the blanks. He then creates 7 variables, each variable is a count of ; (a) correct answer, (b) left blank, (c) incorrect answer, (d) single letter missing (e) extra letter, (f) missing proposition , (g) other misspelling. Using polar histogram ( see );

  1. Polar for Percentages polar_percentages

see the blank (white) slice? it separates girls and boys;

  1. horizontal histogram for counts hist_horizontal

  2. histogram for counts, I admit its ugly bar

  3. horizontal percentages horizontal_percentages



Data on 100+ thesis and dissertation

Another colleague of mine collects thesis and dissertations written on “Value Education”. He then categorizes each work into; year, method, subject, university. At some point I used ( see );

  1. Subject and methods; busject

Each subject was studied either using qualitative, quantitative or mixed method

  1. Trend trend

Count of dissertation or thesis over time

  1. Domain dom

Trend in counts of studies in each domain over time

  1. Pie pie

for dissertations and their affiliations

  1. Trend year by method by degree ymd

three way




Data on many PHD students at UF (2005)

This was for a PhD student. It shows the total amount of time (years) between the BA degree and the PHD degree. Its a 3way messy graph, time by citizenship status by discipline.

Graph for a research paper

This is a 4way graph, relative bias was affected by (a) sample size, (b) pseudo \(R^2\) (c) \(R^2\) (d) model
