uncertainty visualization

Uncertainty visualization is a way of graphically showing how confident we are about the data or predictions in a chart or map. It helps us see where information might be reliable or where there’s more doubt, such as future climate patterns or medical diagnoses. By including visual cues like error bars, shading, or fuzzy outlines, these visuals convey the degree of confidence or potential error. This approach ensures viewers understand the limits of the data, promoting better decision-making by recognizing that some information is less certain than others.
