Fundamental Statistical Concepts in Presenting Data: Principles for Constructing Better Graphics

* New: Version 1.0!: Handout (pdf, approximately 10MB, 100 pages with illustrations) for LearnSTAT course 20090417. This course will be offered in April 2009 as part of the American Statistical Association's LearnSTAT program. Details concerning the course are available online at the ASA's website. (Added 20090413.)

* Old: Version 0.9.: Handout (pdf, approximately 10MB, 100 pages with illustrations) for JSM2008 course. This version should be considered obsolete but is here because this is how the web works. (Added 20080717.)

* Doing More than Just the Basics with SAS/Graph and R: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques: Handout (pdf, approximately 500KB, 36 pages with illustrations and code) discussing graphics in SAS/Graph and R. This document is under development and should be used with appropriate grains of salt. The current draft follows the development of a graphic in both SAS/Graph and R, drawing the same plot (an empirical cdf with the support set) under the two different programs. More will be forthcoming as time and motivation permit. The next section will take the ecdf of the first section and partition it via small multiples. (Added 20090413.)
