A company wants to determine the proportion of employees in each job category. Pie charts typically contain the following elements: 1. Circle (“pie”) representing all observations. 2. Circle segment (“pie slice”) for each category. 3. Optionally, slices can have labels indicating their relative (percentage) or absolute size (count or summary statis...
Pie charts provide a broad overview of the categories you’re studying. By comparing and contrasting the size of the slices, you can evaluate the relative magnitude of each group. In the chart below, four colors (white, silver, black, and grey) comprise nearly three-quarters of all new car colors in 2012. When assessing more than one pie chart, comp...
Pie charts effectively illustrate the different sizes for parts of the whole. However, these graphs have shortcomings that can limit their usage. To use a pie chart, consider the following: 1. Use when your primary goal is to compare the parts to the whole. 2. The category totals must add up to the overall total. 3. Pie charts are best for simple d...
Among patients, accuracy was highest for pie charts and icon arrays. Clinicians and researchers were more likely to accurately answer questions about pie charts. Pie charts received the best clarity ratings among all three participant groups. Table 2 summarizes the multivariable model accuracy and clarity outcome results. Across all four ...

The present paper aims to provide basic guidelines to present epidemiological data using tables and graphs in Dermatology. Although simple, the preparation of tables and graphs should follow basic recommendations, which make it much easier to understand the data under analysis and to promote accurate communication in science.
Abstract. William Playfair’s pie chart is more than 200 years old and yet its intellectual origins remain obscure. The inspiration likely derived from the logic diagrams of Llull, Bruno, Leibniz, and Euler, which were familiar to William because of the instruction of his mathematician brother John. The pie chart is broadly popular but ...

Apr 3, 2015 · A pie chart is a common way of presenting simple statistics—for example, the amount of time devoted to teaching, researching, and administration by the faculty can be illustrated by dividing a circle (‘pie’) into three appropriately sized segments. There has been much discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of such pie charts for a long time, and it is not likely to end soon. 3D ...
