The Anscombe Quartet powerfully makes the point about the effectiveness of a visualization.

Do people have other (pedagogically tested) vignette/dataset examples, especially based on economic/business data, for which using the right visualization helps the analyst gain unique insights about patterns in the data?

    Pretty much any example from any of [Edward Tufte](https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/)'s books? – olooney Jun 25 '18 at 20:30
  • This is, indeed, a very broad question, but it nevertheless can be answered. Read: Cleveland, W. S. *The Elements of Graphing Data* and *The Visual Display of Quantitative Information* Wainer, H. *A Trout in the Milk* – Peter Flom Jun 26 '18 at 10:40
  • Many thanks to the moderator and commentators. I own all of Tufte and Cleveland books (as well as Tukey's EDA) and have been scanning through them for quite a while. – Student Jun 26 '18 at 15:32
  • Regarding "How to Ask": I did try to make intent clearer—pedagogically tested examples. **Search, and research:** not just the aforementioned books but other sites, etc. **Be specific:** while I agree the Q is broad and open-ended, I submit that it is not vague. **Make it relevant to others:** should be relevant to teachers and even students – Student Jun 26 '18 at 15:38
