Uncertainty visualization with ArviZ
09-14, 12:00–13:00 (Europe/Amsterdam), Hello, World! (Tutorials)

Learn how to visualize uncertainty in parameters or predictions using mutiple visualizations adapted to your data and task


This tutorial will cover 4 different plots designed to visualize uncertainty: quantile dotplots, empirical cumulative density functions, histograms and kernel density estimates. Finding optimal solutions in data visualization requires adapting the plots to both the data and task at hand, so we will start explaining each of them, their main pros and cons, how to interpret and how to generate each of those plot with ArviZ. We will then cover multiple data visualization tasks on several datasets to put those skills in practice and extend and deepen our "visualization space", both what you know and what you are comfortable enough to use.
