Albyn Jones sent me this link by Hans Rosling, the founder of Gapminder. It’s a great demonstration of statistical visualization. I’d like to use it to start off my introductory statistics classes–except then the students would probably be disappointed that my lectures aren’t as good…
I want that software!
Also, I thought it was a shame that he didn't mention the massive outlier that was the USA child mortality – it looked like it caused a negative relationship n the OECD countries, between income and child mortality. Would have been interesting to look at how that related to the quintiles of income within the USA as well.
