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

* New: Version 2.11!: Handout (pdf, approximately 10MB, 100 pages with illustrations) for JSM2011 course 20110731 in Miami. ( Updated 20110704.)

* 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. ( Updated 20100712.)
