Statistical Graphics - STAT823
We present the principles of effective graphical presentation, set them in a historical context and apply them to a variety of statistical data sets. Emphasis is given to use of modern multivariate graphical techniques such as trellis/lattice graphs and mosaic plots to show a variety of displays of data and model fits, and to display model consistency with data. To present graphics, we introduce and use S-Plus and R software, as well as other standard packages. Participants choose an area for further investigation related to their interests. This unit may be taken at any stage of the Master of Applied Statistics program: as an introduction early in the2 program, or as an overview towards the end of the program.
