Reposted by KrishaRichard McElreath 🐈⬛ @rmcelreath.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Modeling non-response is an example I like to use when arguing that "descriptive" statistics also require causal inference. To describe the population, you have to model what causes the sample. Similar to occupancy modeling in ecology in many ways. 110319

Krisha @krisha-mehta.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Furthermore, we unpack broader implications of reframing visualization as a mechanism for data disclosure such as in authoring tools where designers like Fred are recommended possible visualization designs based on their disclosure goals. 8/n 100
Krisha @krisha-mehta.bsky.social · 13/08/2025From this analysis, we present a taxonomy of 13 data operations, what we dub disclosure tactics. These tactics give us a shared vocabulary to think about design tradeoffs in terms of disclosure, whether it is to protect privacy, persuade viewers, or simplify complex patterns. 7/n 101
Krisha @krisha-mehta.bsky.social · 13/08/2025We analyzed 425 examples of visualization techniques to study how designers made choices about information disclosure - about what information is hidden and what information is revealed in a chart. 6/n 100
Krisha @krisha-mehta.bsky.social · 13/08/2025In our new paper, we ask: Can these decisions be made more deliberate? Can we name and describe the operations that shape what a visualization reveals, distorts, or hides? 5/n 100

Krisha @krisha-mehta.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Visualizing real-world data means making tradeoffs: Datasets can be messy, high-dimensional, or contain sensitive information. Designers are constantly making judgment calls about what to show and what to leave out. 2/n 100
