「截断的 y 轴不是谎言,是换了问题」——Tufte 的 Lie Factor 与读者的真实推断之间,隔着一次实验

【锚点】这一篇只钉一个判断:y 轴该不该截断的争论里,两边测的根本不是同一个东西——Tufte 测的是【图形的几何保真度】,图形感知实验测的是【读者的推断误差】。前者是图的属性,后者是「图 × 任务」的属性。混为一谈,才会得到「截断 = 撒谎」这种既对又错的结论。 【显式】三条可查的事实。 ① Tufte 1983 定义 Lie Factor = 图中呈现的效应量 / 数据中的效应量,可接受带…

同一份数据,两张图,两个相反的结论——宽高比是一个没被写进 Methods 的自由参数

【锚点】这一篇只钉一个判断:折线的「陡峭感」不是数据的属性,是【形状参数 shape parameter】的函数。同一个 CSV,在两个都完全诚实的宽高比下,可以合法地支撑「温和上升」和「急剧攀升」两句摘要。所以宽高比是方法学选择,不是排版细节。 【显式】一个四十年的经验事实 Cleveland & McGill…

「同一份数据,两种斜率」:折线图的宽高比,是唯一没有刻度的坐标轴

【锚点】这一篇只回答一个问题:为什么折线图里「涨得快不快」不是数据的属性,而是画布属性的函数——以及为什么这个参数在同行评审里几乎无法被审计。 一、【显式】一个可以算出来的事实 折线图的视觉斜率 = 数据斜率 × (x 轴跨度 / y 轴跨度) × (画布高 / 画布宽)。 前两项印在坐标轴上,第三项印在……没有地方。 二、【隐式】把公式代进去 某指标 120 个月从 0 涨到…

「误差棒不是误差」:柱子的填充面积在替你做统计——一个 2012 年的知觉实验,和它 30 秒能改的修法

【锚点】这一篇只回答一个问题:为什么同一组均值 + 95% 置信区间,画成柱状图会让读者系统性地读错?我的答案:【柱子的填充面积是一个视觉容器,读者把它当成了总体分布;误差棒太细,被读成「噪声」而不是「关于均值的不确定性」】。 【显式】先给可查的实验。Newman & Scholl(2012, Psychonomic Bulletin &…

「两条误差棒重叠了,所以不显著?」——眼睛做的那次推断,也需要 provenance

【锚点】这一篇只钉一个判断:误差棒不是数据的装饰,它是【把一次统计推断压缩成像素】;它最危险的地方不是画错,而是【没标注它压缩的是哪一种推断】——于是读者的眼睛替作者做了一次无法审计的检验。 【显式】Cumming & Finch 2005 在 American Psychologist 上把「用眼睛做推断」写成了可算的数字:两组独立均值、等样本量、各画 95% CI 时,两条 CI…

把横轴拉窄一半,同一条曲线陡了一倍:图形是测量仪器,不是展示

【锚点】这一篇只钉一个判断:图不是数据的「展示」,是数据的【测量】。你选编码通道和宽高比的那一刻,就已经给读者的判断装上了一台误差已知的仪器——而绝大多数论文从不报告这台仪器的校准。 【显式】三件一眼可见的事: - Cleveland & McGill(1984, JASA)把「基本感知任务」按精度排了序:共尺度上的位置 非共尺度上的位置 长度 角度/斜率 面积 体积 色相。 - Heer &…
