Abstract:
|
Statistical graphics are at the core of statistical practice, yet few graduate programs have integrated graphics into their graduate curriculum. There are two approaches to introducing graduate students to the field of statistical graphics---one involving a semester-long course, and the other involving a two-week segment of a graduate course in statistical computing or data analysis. The former approach should include a broader view of information visualization, as well as an introduction to design and use of graphical software. The latter approach necessarily involves a minimal introduction to graphics practice and available software. This talk will discuss potential curricula for both approaches.
