Prolly Trees: Pretty cool? www.dolthub.com/blog/2024-03...

The theme for day 11 of the #30DayChartChallenge is "physical," so I'm calling this kind of plot "pavement plots" - they sort of look like sidewalks. The great-nephew of boxplots, lines are drawn every 5th percentile, with the quartiles extended slightly to help get you situated. I kind of like it?

It's day 10 of the #30DayChartChallenge, "pop culture," and what could be more pop than BOXPLOTS? Inspired by "40 years of boxplots" vita.had.co.nz/papers/boxpl... (@hadley.nz I'm looking forward to the 55-year update!)

This is so well done

Day 9 of the #30DayChartChallenge is "wealth," which is often related to income! Here I develop this display a little bit by adding shading for density of people at every age and income level (1yr/$2k bins). It adds some more interesting context, I think.

Here's another kind of "circular" chart for day 8 of the #30DayChartChallenge: it's a CDF again, but the x axis wraps (like a circle!) so that we still see something of how far it goes, without completely squishing all the people at the left. (Probably not a good idea to do this!)

For day 8 of the #30DayChartChallenge the theme is "circular," so I'm circling back to this quantile plot method and adding in the circular zeros that I dropped the first time I did it. Also rotating to put age on the x axis and a couple other little improvements.

I'm making QQ plots for day 7 of the #30DayChartChallenge: multiscale! Household incomes are higher than personal incomes, but usually not double... I threw in a log/log version as well, which is arguably best for showing the "bump" here. (But I don't really super love any of these...)

Day 6 of the #30DayChartChallenge, but I'm sticking with my usual data... It's time for a Lorenz curve! The Gini I get is different from commonly reported ones because of inclusion criteria, I believe. The chart itself is spiritually like my day 2 one and technically like my day 4 one...

Here's another day 5 experiment for the #30DayChartChallenge - I like this one much more! This starts to show the age-stretching of the top of the distribution a lot more... Is there a name for plots like this?

Look at this spiky experiment for day 5 of the #30DayChartChallenge... I don't like that histograms have a bin-width parameter through which to editorialize. I tend to prefer narrower bins, so I took it... too far.

It's day 4 of the #30DayChartChallenge and it's "slope" day... I'm not making a slope graph, but these have some slope to them... I really want these to dominate simple histograms (as I did yesterday) but I'm not sure they do...

For day 3 of the #30DayChartChallenge, let's say this counts for "mosaic"... Trying to show how income varies across age using a conventional small-multiple approach with histograms across age buckets. Meh?

Inspired by @shrikhalpada.dev, it's my #30DayChartChallenge day 2, "pictogram." Circles are pictures, right? Arguably just jittered sampled points... I like how it shows the "density" of people/income. And a fun coincidence that nice round numbers break the total income earned into roughly quarters.

Just getting started on the #30DayChartChallenge... Didn't get as much done as I had hoped, but here's something! Day one is supposed to be "part to whole" - I wanted to start showing how a sub-distribution is a part of a larger distribution.
