ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses specific graphical methods to achieve a variety of data analytic and statistical goals. It considers the subject from a more general point of view and formulates general principles and techniques for graphical displays. The book describes quite easily interpretable — after some initial training and experience. It explains two samples that are generally of different sizes, the individual points have a less clear-cut interpretation. Each plotted point corresponds to an observation in the smaller data set, but the other plotting coordinate is obtained by interpolating between ordered observations of the larger set. Perhaps the correct question to ask is not how inherently interpretable a display is, but how much background and training — of a general or specific nature — is required to make interpretation easy.
