Graphical Methods in Statistical Analysis

Graphical methods in statistical analysis.

The idea of graphical presentation of statistical data is a relatively recent development as compared with geometry , algebra, or even probability theory (18). The techniques of graphical presentation of data are still rapidly de­ veloping, as statistical theory opens new ways of thinking about data, and as using the capabilities of modem computers increasingly reshapes the body of . statistica...

Statistical Analysis Methods for the fMRI Data

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a safe and non-invasive way to assess brain functions by using signal changes associated with brain activity. The technique has become a ubiquitous tool in basic, clinical and cognitive neuroscience. This method can measure little metabolism changes that occur in active part of the brain. We process the fMRI data to be able to find the parts of br...

Graphical Methods for Presenting Statistical Data: Progress and Problems

Statistical maps are of great interest both to cartographers and to statisti cians. Cartographers and geographers consider such maps as a very important cate gory of thematic maps. Statisticians view them as applications of the graphicalstatistical method to the special case in which the data to be graphed are detailed geographically. Professor Jenks and Professor Robinson have discussed statis...

Graphical Methods for Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis

Graphical methods play an important role in SA, since they provide a means of visualizing the relationships between the output and input factors. However, in complex problems, with many input variables, the problem of constructing useful graphical presentations becomes challenging, and the types of solutions become more varied. This chapter presents a number of familiar and perhaps not so famil...
