You do no t need to have attended the basics presentation to get value from this a dvanced presentation. \;\n \;\nIncluded in this session are the fi ve basic chart types\, along with topics of normalization and the import ance of context. We will then look at more advanced concepts for the e xpression of metrics (such as cartograms\, step functions\, metrics whic h go negative\, non-linear scales\, and lineage charts). We will discus s the importance of understanding volatility in a metric\, and the expre ssion of uncertainty and ambiguity. \;\n \;\nRankings can be misle ading\; we will show how. Tree maps are useful\, but heat maps can be d angerous. We may look at using scatter diagrams to evaluate the correl ation of market indexes. If we have time\, we will look at the expressi on of non-metric ideas\, including VENN diagrams. \;\n \;\nAbout t he Speaker \;\nMichael Scofield\, M.B.A. is an Asst.
