Statistical Graphics and Visualization

C4.1 Interactive Statistical Graphics

Examining data using graphical tools, such as histograms, bar charts, quantile plots, scatterplots and other statistical graphics, is a necessary part of any serious analysis effort. Statistical graphics are typically most useful at two stages of an analysis. Initially, plots are useful for data cleansing [cross-ref. C2.1] where unusual sets of values can be investigated, attribute distribution...

Statistics 36-315: Statistical Graphics and Visualization

3. The “Nighttime Map” produced by the Census Bureau uses dots to depict population density according to the 2000 decennial census. Go to: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/mapGallery/2kpopden.html Suppose the Bureau instead made a histogram map, where each census tract was shaded according to its population density. What information about the U.S. population density would be gained in making this ...

Nutrigenomics and its Applications in Animal Science

Nutrigenomics applies genomic technologies to study how nutrients affect expression of genes. With the advent of the post genomic era and with the use of functional genomic tools, the new strategies for evaluating the effects of nutrition on production efficiency and nutrient utilization are becoming available. Nutrigenomics plays an efficient role in various fields of animal health like nutrit...

Interactive Three-dimensional Image Analysis and Visualization Using Graphics Hardware

Image analysis is a process of extracting useful information from input images using various image processing techniques, such as denoising, enhancement, feature detection, and segmentation. State-of-the-art techniques employ sophisticated and time-consuming nonlinear processes to capture subtle and detailed information from images that may be overlooked by classical linear methods. In addition...
