Data Science & Visualization

Data does not speak for itself. See ways in
which data can illustrate the world.

Survey/Poll visualization

Visualizing polls and surveys expeditiously is crucial for any high impact research firm or university. The following are a sample from my collaborative Northern Poll project with Dr Robert Alexander and Dr Tyler Steelman. These cross tabs by party confidence interval plots and tables were all created via an automated R script, which acts as a template for all Qualtrics based polls. The full replication code can be found on my github repository here, and coverage of said poll here.

Areal Interpolation

Areal interpolation problems arise when geographic units do not perfectly nest within each other. Slide through and see the nature of areal interpolation problems as applied to U.S. ZIP codes and legislative districts, along with the degree of overlap necessary to have confidence in matching individuals to different levels of geography (Steelman and Curiel, 2023).
