Statistical Analysis and Data Display (1 Day Course) - Continuing Education - Course
ASA, Section on Statistical Graphics
Instructor(s): Richard Heiberger, Temple University, Burt Holland, Temple University
The course is based on the presenters' forthcoming book, Statistical Analysis and Data Display: An Intermediate Course, due from Springer later this year. We emphasize the graphical display of data. We show graphs, how to construct and interpret them, and how they relate to the tabular outputs that appear automatically when a statistical program "analyzes" a data set. The graphs are not automatic and so must be requested. Gaining an understanding of a data set is always more easily accomplished by looking at appropriately drawn graphs than by examining tabular summaries. In our opinion, graphs are the heart of most statistical analyses; the corresponding tabular results are formal confirmations of our visual impressions. We use graphs for statistical research and analysis, that is for exploring and designing new techniques of analysis, as well as for analysis. Prerequisites: Some knowledge of regression and analysis of variance. Familiarity with statistical software.
