A good illustrative example would be VMT data, pre/post CY2000. (@ydu0316 has collated that data, I think, in a recent email thread ... could it be pasted here?)
This could easily be visualized with something like:
vmt_data %>%
chart_annual_quantities_by(
color = vmt_basis)
... assuming that vmt_data
contained year
, vmt_qty
, vmt_unit
, and vmt_basis
. The last (vmt_basis
) would take on values "EMFAC2011" and "EMFAC2017" (or whatever the latter should be).
New, via https://github.com/BAAQMD/charting-annual-data/commit/3e1d6b86f402b8d0765266fa8f99c6d4da5f9d2d: a brief example, now live at https://baaqmd.github.io/charting-annual-data/11-discontinuities.html. The topic came up during today's E&CEA Section meeting.
Sometimes there is a qualitative break in the basis for a longitudinal dataset. On the face of things, it might look like newer numbers are still commensurable with older numbers, but for the purpose(s) at hand they're not — or at least not without adjustment.
Here are two examples:
The issue here is simply to add an example (or more than one) of how to appropriately and usefully visualize such a discontinuity.
