Violation(s) as an Animation #181

Closed ethansaxenian closed 3 years ago

ethansaxenian commented 3 years ago

Moving this to a new issue for organization's sake:

Feel free to tell me the following idea is dumb and/or too hard to implement: Could we show the violation(s) as an animation?

eg. We highlight the observations that are going to violate protocol in their pre-violation position and then click to show their new spot on the scatter. Kind of like a "toggle" the problem on and off. This would be in the initial "take samples" and "play with things" part of the module. Then you just tell the user this is what is happening with each sample in the simulation. I think it is powerful to see why the problem is occurring. This idea could be for the failure to follow protocol and outlier example. I think it is visually obvious what is going on with the non-random sample.

If I am understanding this correctly, I think it would be doable in theory, but probably pretty complicated.

Ok. I'm headed to another meeting. Give a little thought to how hard it would be and we can talk about it tomorrow.

ethansaxenian commented 3 years ago

Am I correct that we decided against this?

ProfessorAmanda commented 3 years ago

We decided that we would implement a lower-cost intervention for now: some text explaining what is happening when the samples are taken, with some illustrating arrows. You could either work on this now, or wait until next week when Tanya returns.

ethansaxenian commented 3 years ago

Not quite sure what you mean by arrows, but I'll certainly need the text before I can work on it!
