36-315 Statistical Graphics and Visualization Units: 9.0 Department: Statistics Prerequisites: 36-202 or 36-208 or 36-226 or 36-303 or 36-309 or 36-625 or 88-250 Related URLs: http://www.stat.cmu.edu/www/cmu-stats/ Graphical displays of quantitative information take on many forms as they help us understand both data and models. This course will serve to introduce the student to the most common forms of graphical displays and their uses and misuses. Students will learn both how to create these displays and how to understand them. As time permits the course will consider some more advanced graphical methods such as computer-generated animations. Each student will be required to engage in a project using graphical methods to understand data collected from a real scientific or engineering experiment. In addition to two weekly lectures there will be lab sessions where the students learn to use software to aid in the production of appropriate graphical displays.
