1 Spine

How do bodies measure, how do people talk about mind and school, and how long do countries live?

This sentence stays at the top. Every panel must attach to it. If a plot cannot be introduced in a clause that hangs off this line, it is off the wall.

2 Introduction — the tables we own

This folder is ours for the ten days. Three tables, three shapes.

  • Panel A (panel-A.csv) — body measures (bdims): height, weight, waist, hip, chest, age, sex. Stand-in for NHANES when that package is not on the machine.
  • Panel B (panel-B.csv) — GSS 2010: degree, grass, hours of work and rest. mntlhlth is days of poor mental health — a Quant. Do not mosaic it.
  • Panel C (panel-C.csv) — gapminder 2007: life expectancy, GDP per capita, population by country.

Talk (B) and tape-measure (A) are different hunts.

We load from this folder:

library(readr)
library(tidyverse)

A <- read_csv("panel-A.csv")
B <- read_csv("panel-B.csv")
C <- read_csv("panel-C.csv")

Found tables train the mark. A campus Free Hunch, if we collect one, is a made panel of the same pair type — new people, old grammar. It does not replace A, B, or C.

3 Panel A — body / measure

height_cm, weight_kg, waist_cm are Quant. sex is Qual.

3.0.1 1. See the table

What is a case? Which columns are Quant / Qual? What is missing?

# glimpse() / inspect() / skim()

3.0.2 2. Ask

One question this table can answer. One it cannot. Write both.

3.0.3 3. Choose a mark

Geom, map mark, or (later) test that matches the pair type. Name it before you code.

3.0.4 4. Predict

What do we think we will see? One sentence, before Run.

3.0.5 5. Make

Human brick first. Optional: one AI prompt, pasted below, only for what section 3 named.

# human chunk

# ## Prompt we actually used
# ai_draft
# ours

3.0.6 6. Say

Caption + one sentence we will stand behind. Title is a sentence, not a column name.

3.0.7 7. Limit

What this panel cannot do. Which kit table we refused to abuse.

4 Panel B — category / talk

degree × grass is Qual + Qual. mntlhlth is Quant — it belongs in a histogram or a grouped violin, not a mosaic.

4.0.1 1. See the table

4.0.6 6. Say

4.0.7 7. Limit

What this panel cannot do. Which kit table we refused to abuse.

5 Panel C — place

lifeExp is the honest fill. pop is a count — symbol map, not choropleth.

Geometry is not in the CSV. Join in R, then use the same seven headings.

# library(sf)
# library(rnaturalearth)
# world <- ne_countries(scale = "medium", returnclass = "sf")
# # join on country name; list the unmatched labels

6 Conclusion

What the spine looks like after three panels.

  • The question we will defend in ninety seconds
  • What we will not claim
  • Which lines were human, which were machine
  • Limits: sample, missingness, the test we did not run
  • Gift for the steal-this strip (palette, annotation, join trick)
