Has the #FertilityRate in the #US been stable over the past two decades? And how does it compare to the #EU?
Boosts appreciated! :boost_love:🚀

Let us reply by quoting Howard Wainer. In his well-known paper "How to Display Data Badly" he wrote:
"A second way to hide the data is in the scale. This corresponds to blowing up the scale (i.e., looking at the data from far away) so that any variation in the data is obscured by the magnitude of the scale. One can justify this practice by appealing to "honesty requires that we start the scale at zero," or other sorts of sophistry."

Thank you for your comment. We are just following the definition of the fertility rate by the World Bank Group:

@europesays @labplot@lemmy.kde.social @dataisbeautiful
Simply asking two primary questions to guide any analysis will lead to a better understanding of variation and more effective decision making:
1️⃣ Is the process currently stable?
2️⃣ Based on this knowledge, what type of action makes sense?

In this paper Thomas Nolan, Rocco J. Perla and Lloyd Provost explain why correctly assessing #variation is fundamental to sound decisions.
Assuming a steady flow of bugs of the same kind, we share the same line of reasoning.
SAME STATS, DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS
After 12 months of managing #bugs, #developers A, B, and C changed their approach.
Assuming a steady flow of bugs of the same kind, whose change is an improvement❓

More generally, the problem is domain independent.

Thank you for all your comments. A jittering of data points along the x-axis was used to avoid over-plotting. But yes, a scatter plot with a boxplot attached along the y-axis (to show outliers) may be more informative in this case.
A boxplot is a 1-dimensional plot. The data points are jittered along the x-axis to make them less crowded.

After reading the article we made this #boxplot using #LabPlot, an open source data analysis and visualization software.
The plot doesn't provide answers, it rather invites some thinking.

Thank you for your comment. For these types of charts describing variation in data, which also include upper and lower limits on the values that contain probable noise, not using 0 at the start on the y-axis makes sense, as it makes it easier to analyze this variation and detection of potential signals.
We believe that Howard Wainer certainly would not recommend blindly applying this principle to all cases.
