Abstract

The specific objective of our dgQG research has been to develop and assess quality graphics for federal statistical summaries. The goal has been to develop methods for generating quality graphics that facilitate exploration by agency users evaluating data quality and looking for emergent trends, decision making by public policy makers, and communication of statistical summaries to the public. This year the focus has been on completing joint projects with agency collaborators and on follow-up research funded through supplement or contract by agency sponsors. Here, we highlight three developments.
