Data exploration calculus: Capturing the essence of exploratory data scripting

Read Original

This article discusses the creation of a 'data exploration calculus', a minimal formal language designed to model the specific scripting patterns used in exploratory data work, as done by data journalists and scientists. It contrasts this with traditional calculi like λ-calculus, explains its motivation through tools like The Gamma, and highlights its relevance for both theoretical research and understanding real-world data analysis code.
