Abstract:

Conveying technical results to clients in a written format that is clear and concise is an essential part of statistical consulting. I have found graphical data displays to be an integral part of reporting results to clients as visualization is a powerful tool. Thus, for me a report has to contain graphical displays along with textual commentary in a format that I can easily email to clients. I will share examples of reports written using various features of PowerPoint to achieve these goals and discuss the benefits to the client from such reports.
