This presentation of statistical methods features extensive use of graphical displays for exploring data and for displaying the analysis. The authors demonstrate how to analyze data—showing code, graphics, and accompanying computer listings. They emphasize how to construct and interpret graphs, discuss principles of graphical design, and show how tabular results are used to confirm the visual impressions derived from the graphs. Many of the graphical formats are novel and appear here for the first time in print.

First half of book presents fundamental mathematical definitions, concepts, and facts while remaining half deals with statistics primarily as an interpretive tool.
This is a book written in colloquial language, avoiding mathematical formulae as much as possible, trying to explain statistical methods using examples and graphics instead.

EXAMPLE 3.8: Weldon's dice Going a bit further, we can compare Weldon's data with the theoretical binomial distribution as shown below. Because the WeldonDice data collapsed the frequencies for 10–12 successes as 10+, we do the same ...
Thin strips of wood veneer were used to create a smooth curve to be traced. Later, French curves in the form of thin clear plastic templates were used. Spline functions are mathematical analogies to these thin strips of wood and are ...
This book guides you in choosing graphics and understanding what information you can glean from them. It can be used as a primary text in a graphical data analysis course or as a supplement in a statistics course.
An accessible primer on how to create effective graphics from data This book provides students and researchers a hands-on introduction to the principles and practice of data visualization.
