Alexandra Bowie Consulting: May 2013
http://asbowie.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 31, 2013. Data visualization can serve two purposes and two audiences, says Lisa Strausfeld, Global Head of Data Visualization at Bloomberg LP. For the novice, it can serve as an explanation; for the expert, data visualization can guide exploration. Bloomberg Billionaires. Those handy little pop-up flags link to recent stories. You can also filter by industry, citizenship, gender, and source of wealth (inherited or self-made). Interestingly, Bloomberg himself does not appear on the list.

Thursday, July 11, 2013. Global Temperatures by Decade. I can't resist sharing this terrific graph that came via Grist.org. The dotted gray line is the long-term average for the period 1961-1990 so if the last two decades were included it would be much higher. From the associated report:. Posted by Alexandra Bowie.

Alexandra Bowie Consulting: November 2013
http://asbowie.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 12, 2013. The Cost Disease, Part 2. In an earlier post. I reviewed "The Cost Disease: Why Computers Get Cheaper and Health Care Doesn't" by William J. Baumol and others. I highly recommend the book, for reasons I set out in the in the review. Here are Baumol's suggestions:. Use statistical methods to improve the evaluation of medical treatments (Baumol offers several cautions, including ones I've discussed before - be aware of sampling errors, don't confuse correlation and causation).

Alexandra Bowie Consulting: April 2013
http://asbowie.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Global Warming Measurements, now on Twitter. Here's another way of looking at climate change: measuring the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. And that's what the Mauna Loa record, which has been kept since the late 1950s, does. It's also known as the Keeling Curve, after Charles David Keeling, who set up the program and directed it for many years. The value of the Mauna Loa record soon became readily apparent. Within just a year or two, Charles David Keeling had shown that CO.

Alexandra Bowie Consulting: Schools can learn from data
http://asbowie.blogspot.com/2015/02/schools-can-learn-from-data.html
Monday, February 9, 2015. Schools can learn from data. Let's face it: schools use data all the time. That's what grades are - grades on tests, quizzes, papers, finals. They all roll up into a final grade, and the grade tells the student - and a bunch of other people, including other teachers, parents, and admissions officers, whether a student is 'good' at something. So why backtrack from the work that the Department of Education began under the Bloomberg administration? Yesterday's New York Times. NYC M...

Alexandra Bowie Consulting: “The Cost Disease: Why Computers Get Cheaper and Health Care Doesn’t” by William J. Baumol and others
http://asbowie.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-cost-disease-why-computers-get.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2012. 8220;The Cost Disease: Why Computers Get Cheaper and Health Care Doesn’t” by William J. Baumol and others. We’ve all read many articles recently about the increasing costs of important services, health care chief among them.
