cherry-picking selected samples. One important class of conclusions is a trend
derived from a data set of values over time. Our goal is to evaluate whether
the 'trends' described by the extracted samples are representative of the true
situation represented in the data. We demonstrate MithraDetective, a system to
compute a support score to indicate how cherry-picked a statement is; that is,
whether the reported trend is well-supported by the data. The system can also
be used to discover more supported alternatives. MithraDetective provides an
interactive visual interface for both tasks.
