Regression plots
I am writing a paper with a coauthor promoting the use of graphs instead of tables in political science. We did some research on the current use of tables and graphs and found out that a substantial proportion of the tables is devoted to the display of regression results.
So we thought that creating graphs to display regression tables was essential to our task. Thais to turn, this:
