Visualizing the data DefensiveAsylumCases_Dataset1: A scatterplot showing the Number of Wait Time in days from when a case entered the system to when they exited compared to when they entered. The quantitative attribute shows the Decision Code of the case and if you hover you see the wait time in days.

The goal in this visualization is to show and better understand the relationship between when a case enters the system and the time it takes (waits time) to exit and the decision of the case. The reason this is of interest to me is because in my research there is a question on if the time spend in the system is related to wait times as well as looking at how policy(date the entered for a proxy) may have influence over this relationship between wait time in system and their case outcome.

The next part I have been struggling to get implemented is a dropdown menu where you select the year they entered, and the display will filter and only show those years. I hit a few struggles on this visualization, the first was getting the WaitTime attribute, after getting some assistance from Professor Curran I was able to get that value to work. I also made the mistake of not creating the var date, which is a new Date(), needed prior to formatting the OSC_DATE to year only, which I will need later for the dropdown menu once I figure out how implement in VegaLiteAPI. I have found the functions and an example in VegaLite, and have been working on trying to "translate" that into VegaLiteAPI which has been a lot harder than I expect. I hope to figure this out for the next visualization I create to have a completed visualization on of one my original final project sketches. Which means for the final project I will expand and do a more complicated visualization (in technical skills to implement, not in to readability to the end user).
