Health info project

For the project, you will either A) solve an interesting open-ended research problem or B) repeat the research done in a prior published paper to see if you replicate their results. Your project should contain either a strong theoretical foundation or strong practical appliccation . Topics of interest to you may be proposed but must be approved by the instructor. The scope should be ambitious in nature for full credit (i.e., not just simple default Tableau sheets and dashboard). The final paper should be 2-5 pages long including references written in a standard conference or journal's 2-column format. You MUST write your final document starting with the Word or LaTex templates (.docx/.text.

The exact approaches and questions to answer are at your discretion but must be approved by the instructor.

General guidelines for your presentation and writeup:

a. Cleveland & Tufte on chart junk, data/ink ratio, lie ratio, visual properties of marks, …

b. Best practices for descriptive infographics

c. Scaling to large dimensions – graph selection, chart composition/dashboards

d. Scaling to large observations – overview and navigation strategies
