Additional Information
Statistician of the Week: Liz Hare
Dr. Hare got her BA from Bryn Mawr College and her PhD in Genetics (1998) from The George Washington University. She works primarily in dog / animal genetics; although, as a quantitative geneticist her statistical and computational methodology is quite sophisticated.
Dr. Hare is active in the MiR (Minorities in R) Community which aims to support historically underrepresented R users around the world.
Topics covered
Her computational language of choice is R
, and much of her work has focused on open science with an eye toward inclusion and equity. In many software programs, the user has the ability to include alt text: text descriptions that convey the content and meaning to blind and low-vision readers.
you really need to tell us what the data is saying and why you included it.
- What kind of graph or chart is it?
- What variables are on the axes?
- What are the ranges of the variables?
- What does the appearance tell you about the relationships between the variables?
