Attached: 1 image The importance of visualizing data. Part 1. Anscombe's quartet comprises four data sets that have nearly identical simple descriptive statistics, yet have very different distributions and appear very different when graphed. The quartet is intended to counter the impression that "numerical calculations are exact, but graphs are rough." The example is available in @[email protected] via File > Open Example. #LabPlot #OpenSource #DataViz #Visualization #Statistics #DataAnalysis #AnscombesQuartet
The importance of visualizing data. Part 2.
The Datasaurus Dozen contains 12 datasets that are equal in standard measures: mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's correlation.
