Current training
Statistical Graphics – 21 July 2015
Course Information
What are statistical graphics, and how do they differ from presentation graphics and ‘infovis’ (information visualisation)? What constitutes a good or bad graph and what is the process for graph construction? How can I create a graph that looks like this?
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to methods for effective visualisation of quantitative data for scientific research purposes, and to illustrate the methods using a mixture of show-and-tell and hands-on exercises by course participants.
The software used is Stata. (Course participants need a basic knowledge of Stata.)
Course instructor
The course will be presented by Professor Stephen Jenkins (London School of Economics).
Stephen Jenkins is an applied economist with substantial experience in the analysis of quantitative data. (For more information about his research and software, see http://ideas.repec.org/e/pje7.html.) Graphs form an integral part of his analytical portfolio.
