Airline Delays Visualization

This visualization shows the relationship between different types of airline delays across months. The visualization uses a small multiples approach to display how Late Aircraft Delays correlate with National Aviation System Delays for each month of the year.

Features

• Small multiples grid showing data by month
• Correlation coefficient displayed for each month
• Trend lines to highlight relationships
• Interactive tooltips showing detailed information
• Color coding by carrier
• Size encoding shows carrier delays

Data Dimensions

• X-axis: Late Aircraft Delays
• Y-axis: National Aviation System Delays
• Size: Carrier Delays
• Color: Airline Carrier

The visualization helps identify:

1. Seasonal patterns in airline delays
2. Which carriers experience more delays
3. How different types of delays correlate with each other
4. Outliers in the dataset

Insights

This visualization makes it easier to see:

• Which months have stronger correlations between delay types
• How the relationships between delay types change throughout the year
• Which carriers consistently experience more delays
• Unusual patterns that might warrant further investigation

Technical Implementation

Built using D3.js v7, the visualization implements:

• Small multiples pattern for comparative analysis
• Linear regression for trend lines
• Pearson correlation calculation
• Interactive tooltips for data exploration
• Responsive legend system
