Question
In a medical study, Michelle Borkin et al. found that switching away from a set of these things that doctors preferred actually improved their accuracy in diagnosing heart disease. Depending on how these things are ordered, sets of them can be classified as cyclic, diverging, or sequential. Mathworks has a copyright on a set of these things called “Parula”, which was created to replace the widely-despised “Jet”. Edward Tufte said “Above all, do no harm” when arguing for the responsible usage of these things, which are chosen for the regions of a (*) choropleth (“KOR-uh-pleth”). Sets of these things in matplotlib include “plasma”, “cividis”, and the default “viridis”, which all have the desirable quality of being perceptually uniform. Other considerations when choosing sets of these things include accessibility to those with protanopia or deuteranopia. For 10 points, name these things that represent data on a heat map. ■END■
ANSWER: colors [or color maps; accept color scales, color spaces, color schemes, or color palettes] (The study in the first sentence found that doctors widely preferred the Jet color map because they were used to it, but still made better diagnoses using images with more perceptually appropriate color maps.)
