Accuracy Ranking of Encoding Channels

Cards in this group · 5

  1. U1.01.1Visual channels have a stable empirical accuracy ranking
  2. U1.01.2The ranking comes from magnitude-judgment experiments, not design intuition
  3. U1.01.3Quantitative and categorical data need two different channel rankings
  4. U1.01.4The most important variable should get the highest-ranked available channel
  5. U1.01.5The ranking is an accuracy ceiling; alignment and mark size erode it
