My choice of sauce is highly affected by the odds of the jar retiring as a drinking cup.

Here's your unsolicited reminder to always visualize your data. Anscombe's Quartet shows that 4 datasets with identical descriptive statistics are, in fact, very different when visualized. 🤔

If this isn't enough, look up the datasaurus dozen 🤯

Hard to keep the terminology straight when they are putting it in textbooks.

coffee roasting curves and loss curves look very similar. The rate-of-rise (ROR) should have a steep downward trend and flatten as the roast proceeds. If the ROR goes back up or flattens out, you get baked or underdeveloped flavors. #ML #trivia

A memorable scene from Star Wars where Luke Skywalker is with Obi Wan Kenobi seeing his father's lightsaber. He oriented it towards his face. The humor in this parody is that the lightsaber is on in the second picture, going through Luke's head. The next picture is the credits, typically shown to end the movie.

Most every Sankey I see, I love. The decode effort is low compared to the complexity it visualizes.

According to my analysis of 2021 data from ACS and BRFSS, as Internet adoption rates increase in U.S. Counties, self-reported diabetes prevalence decreases. There seems to be good evidence that the Internet is a social determinant of health.
