Proportions
5
Time series data is naturally grouped by, well, time. A series of events
happen during a specific time frame. Proportion data is also grouped,
but by categories, subcategories, and population. By population, I don't
mean just human population. Rather, population in this case repre-
sents all possible choices or outcomes. It's the sample space.
In a poll, people might be asked if they approve, disapprove, or have no
opinion on some issue. each category represents something, and the
sum of the parts represent a whole.
This chapter discusses how to represent the individual categories,
but still provides the bigger picture of how each choice relates to
the other. You use some of what you learned in the previous chapter
and get your first taste of interactive graphics using HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript and then have a look at graphics with Flash.
