It Ain’t Necessarily So: Checking Charts for Robustness
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graphics such as statistical charts are crucial tools for communicating the essence of data, but require care in their construction: a chart for a given data set could appear to tell a range of stories, depending just on parameter values used in generating the chart. We are investigating how providing an interactive history of chart-parameter manipulations could encourage people to check the robustness of any story a chart appears to show. Our hope is that this work will be of value to chart creators and consumers alike.

Risk-adjusted control charts based on LR-fuzzy data
Control charts are widely used in industrial processes as well as in health sciences and particularly for monitoring the performance of cardiac surgeon or a group of surgeons based on the preoperative risk of patients. Since the preoperative risk is a vague and nonprecise variable and the anesthesiologists after checking how many risk factors a patient has, determine the risk of mortality befor...

Editor—Doctors are agents of social control and get paid accordingly. And you’d better believe it because it ain’t about to change. A cold ain’t a cold until you say it is. A person ain’t fit to drive until you say they are, and nobody ain’t fit to go back to work until you say they are. Enter the patient. There are the driven folk, those without insight, who want you to look under the bonnet, ...
متن کاملA Generalized Linear Statistical Model Approach to Monitor Profiles
Statistical process control methods for monitoring processes with univariate ormultivariate measurements are used widely when the quality variables fit to known probabilitydistributions. Some processes, however, are better characterized by a profile or a function of qualityvariables. For each profile, it is assumed that a collection of data on the response variable along withthe values of the c...
متن کاملCost Management in Supply Chains – Different Research Approaches
Supply Chain Management and Cost Management are among the top issues on the agenda of business practitioners and academic researchers. Yet, while this proves the importance of these issues, it does not necessarily point towards their integration. Still, the links between the two approaches exist. Cost reduction is among the most cited objectives in supply chain management. Additionally, if cost...
متن کاملChecking Robustness against TSO
We present algorithms for checking and enforcing robustness of concurrent programs against the Total Store Ordering (TSO) memory model. A program is robust if all its TSO computations correspond to computations under the Sequential Consistency (SC) semantics. We provide a complete characterization of non-robustness in terms of so-called attacks: a restricted form of (harmful) out-of-program-ord...
