Democratising interactive statistical graphics

This is joint work with Adam Bartonicek

Interactive statistical graphics have been long a cornerstone of exploratory data analysis, but typically required specialised software or bespoke tools, and were thus only used by few statisticians. On the other hand the value of adding interactivity for generally available presentation graphics has been recognised, leading to the explosion of interactive web-based publications. In this talk we will present a way to combine both worlds: leverage web-based tools to deliver the capability of using interactive statistical graphics to anyone, enabling a wider range of applications and engaging more people with data.
