A playful scatterplot (using dog silhouettes instead of dots) depicts the best dog, according to data. On the vertical axis is a measure of public popularity. On the horizontal is an indexed score of several metrics to consider when owning a dog (cost, temperament, no. of genetic ailments etc). Each dog is coloured by category (sport, toy, hound etc) and sized (S, M, L). If a dog is facing left, it's kind of a dumb dog. If it's facing right, it's an intelligent dog.

Heute jährt sich zum 74. Mal der Todestag des #Mathematikers und #Statistikers Abraham Wald. Der „Wald-Test“ ist zentraler Bestandteil jeder #Statistiksoftware. Er arbeitete von 1933-1938 am Österreichischen Konjunkturforschungsinstitut (heute #WIFO), 1938 musste er fliehen.
