A visually intuitive approach to statistical data analysis Visual Statistics brings the most complex and advanced statisticalmethods within reach of those with little statistical training byusing animated graphics of the data. Using ViSta: The VisualStatistics System-developed by Forrest Young and Pedro Valero-Moraand available free of charge on the Internet-students can easilycreate fully interactive visualizations from relevant mathematicalstatistics, promoting perceptual and cognitive understanding of thedata's story. An emphasis is placed on a paradigm for understandingdata that is visual, intuitive, geometric, and active, rather thanone that relies on convoluted logic, heavy mathematics, systems ofalgebraic equations, or passive acceptance of results. A companion Web site complements the book by further demonstratingthe concept of creating interactive and dynamic graphics. The bookprovides users with the opportunity to view the graphics in adynamic way by illustrating how to analyze statistical data andexplore the concepts of visual statistics. Visual Statistics addresses and features the followingtopics: * Why use dynamic graphics? * A history of statistical graphics * Visual statistics and the graphical user interface * Visual statistics and the scientific method * Character-based statistical interface objects * Graphics-based statistical interfaces * Visualization for exploring univariate data This is an excellent textbook for undergraduate courses in dataanalysis and regression, for students majoring or minoring instatistics, mathematics, science, engineering, and computerscience, as well as for graduate-level courses in mathematics. Thebook is also ideal as a reference/self-study guide for engineers,scientists, and mathematicians. With contributions by highly regarded professionals in the field,Visual Statistics not only improves a student's understanding ofstatistics, but also builds confidence to overcome problems thatmay have previously been intimidating.
