Which climbing route on Mount Hood is the most dangerous? Is it the most traveled one (south side?) So the South side is the most popular route, hence it makes sense that most accidents are on that route; however, what I found so surprising was the number of Accidents on the Cooper Spur. This is surprising as the Cooper Spur is not a very oft-traveled route but clearly has quite a deadly reputation in this above plot. In fact, the North Side in general hosts several routes that have quite a few fatal climbing accidents (Elliot, Cooper Spur, and Coe Glacier).

After my previous post about the size of several different cabinet level agencies, I decided to embark on a clear visualization of the percent change year to year in the number of employees in each Agency. I was inspired by the following article at the Wall Street Journal. The result is below |
AuthorI started learning how to program in High School. For a while now, I've been learning how to effectively use Matlab and R for data analysis and visualization. I will put the codes I've benchmarked and just interesting plots I make here. Archives
