Happy to have seen this particular artwork in Munich's amazing Lenbachhaus, on the way home from #useR2024 -- so very apt!

The problem with that: in July 2024 a 4th party (Reform UK) got more votes than LD in England. So a 3-party graph does not tell the story. We need a tetrahedron not a triangle, to display shares of the 4-party vote (Con,Lab,LD,RUK).
On 2-D paper or screen we can only see flat views of a tetrahedron. The "top-3 tetraplot" below shows ternary views through the 4 faces of the tetrahedron. Each seat a

About something I drew in #rstats --- a display for 4-part compositional data. And some data of interest to me: voting at the 2024 UK General Election.
Background: the ternary graph below is a fairly standard way to present a 3-part composition. Shown here are shares of the 3-party vote for the three "traditional" political parties in England (Con, Lab, LD). Each point is one constituency in En

And here's a happy coincidence: just yesterday my new script "pdftoast.py" got a public repo. (It's my first time with Python!)
pdftoast.py is a bit more niche than pdfjam perhaps, but also they do go well together :)
It's "a Python scri…
The wonders of open source :)
Years ago I wrote a shell script "pdfjam", for manipulating PDF documents (using pdflatex and its "pdfpages" package). So happy to see today that pdfjam has new life: version 4.00 is a major new release -- th…
I hope I got my sums right! (back of an envelope, literally)
To clarify "very rare". Nobody alive today has seen two of those. The last time it was possible was if someone born in 1728 lived to be 121. (did anyone?) After this year's 9-year-olds, the next people to see a square birthday in a squa…
Anyone reaching age 9 this year will have a square birthday in a square year. If they live to 100 they will get two of those, which is very rare.

I am strangely happy with that plot! The more I look at it, the more I see.

This little "pink palace" at Ca' Foscari University (Venice) is home to a really excellent group of researchers in #statistics. A wonderful place to visit.
Long-time #emacs user here. Lately I have been persuaded to use #Overleaf (a LaTeX document editor and processor online) for some projects, because it's used by some of my collaborators. But today I wasted a mass of time because Overleaf …
