Research:Data presentation

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This page provides a (non-exhaustive) list of examples of how metrics defined in the metrics standardization proposal can be aggregated, transformed and presented. Data presentation is as critical as the definitions themselves: the choice of the appropriate presentation mode for each metric or metric family is a fundamental design requirement for the Vital Signs project. Each plot is based on actual data aggregated monthly and spanning the 2006-2013 period, using one of the proposed standardized metric definitions.
