Statistical Performance Indicators
#TidyTuesday
UMAP of the five scores, by year (circumference), income (circle) and population (radius).
#Marimo notebook: fluents.xyz/c/2025-11-25/

Scatter plot of countries in a 2D UMAP embedding based on five data metrics. Each point represents a country-year combination. The x-axis (umap1) roughly aligns with income level, with high-income countries on the right. The y-axis (umap2) roughly aligns with time, with more recent years toward the bottom. Point shape and fill encode income category, point size encodes population, and point colour represents year in a yellow-to-red gradient. Clusters indicate countries with similar metric profiles. China (large cyan point) and India (large orange point) are clearly separated, with India moving toward the high-income region and China moving upward over time. Mixed-income clusters from earlier years appear in the upper-left region.
