Härdle Computational Statistics 1. 1 and DataVisualization Tis book is the third volume of the Handbook of Computational Statistics and c- ers the ?eld of data visualization. In line with the companion volumes, it contains a collection of chapters by experts in the ?eld to present readers with an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the state of the art. Data visualization is an active area of application and research, and this is a good time to gather together a summary of current knowledge. Graphic displays are ofen very e?ective at communicating information. Tey are also very ofen not e?ective at communicating information. Two important reasons for this state of a?airs are that graphics can be produced with a few clicks of the mouse without any thought and the design of graphics is not taken seriously in many scienti?c textbooks.

Review

From the reviews:

"This handbook shows hundreds of ways to visualize data by using modern, high-quality statistical graphics. ... It is most enjoyable to see such a large number of specialists sharing their insights of these methods within one volume. This book really feeds the imagination of the reader. High-dimensionally recommended!" (Kimmo Vehkalahti, International Statistical Review, Vol. 76 (3), 2008)

Synopsis

Visualizing the data is an essential part of any data analysis. Modern computing developments have led to big improvements in graphic capabilities and there are many new possibilities for data displays. This new volume in the series "Springer Handbooks of Computational Statistics" gives an overview of modern data visualization methods, both in theory and practice. There are definitive chapters on modern graphical tools such as mosaic plots, parallel coordinate plots and linked views. There are chapters dedicated to graphical methodology for particular areas of statistics, for example Bayesian analysis, genomic data and cluster analysis, as well as chapters on software for graphics. Specialists from all over the world have contributed papers on their areas of expertise.
