This article is that rarest of things: a discussion of different solutions to the same problem, and the tradeoffs each solution has.
Far more useful than an equivalent amount of ‘how to do X in Y’ articles, in the same way that tables are more useful than the same number of figures, maps are more useful than several directions, ROC curves are more useful than multiple confusion matrices, and faceted plots / small multiples are more useful than an equivalent amount of unconnected plots.
