Exploring factors for ranking among various universities using SpotFire and HCE

Presenter:

Sample shot of the data

Result 1: Qualified Faculty increases Education Efficiency

Result 2: Faculty to Student ratio is higher in good-ranked universities

Result 3: Are higher-ranked universities more researchy?

Result 4: Universities vary most in #students, %RAship, %TAship and unevenness in publications

Result 5: Consistency is the key to be at the top

Result 6: Private schools though lesser in number, have more federal or other funding (on an average) than public ones!

Conclusion Shortcomings:

Spotfire: Right click to sort, arrange etc. is for all queries Deselection a selected data-item Naming convention for new added/calculated columns

HCE: Ceiling and flooring limit to the point where they meet each other

Ease

A single plot can convey lots of information

Give a lot of flexibility

Boon to the researchers to better understand their data.

Thanks!
