I have learned a great deal and have enjoyed the discussion concerning data
display, dot vs contour, etc. To settle a curiosity that I had, I
privately asked M_Roederer
this question.
"We know each plot (contour/dot/density) has its benefits and pitfalls.
However, does anyone know of an instance where a conclusion or part thereof
has been in serious doubt because a conclusion was drawn off a dot plot,
when a contour plot would have suggested a different conclusion?"
Frankly, I expected "no" as the respone but was suprised when Mario stated
there had been a few instances. So my question to the group is does anyone
have such a reference(s) of a flow cytometric "opps"? Were manuscript
retractions involved?
Many thanks in advance,
David
