The latest release from ASA-CRC.

The third book to be published in the ASA-CRC Series on Statistical Reasoning in Science and Society is Data Visualization: Charts, Maps, and Interactive Graphics by Robert Grant.

The book is concise, filled with full-color visualizations, and focuses on concepts and ways of thinking about data, rather than algebra or computer code. It features 17 short chapters that can be read in one sitting; each is self-contained, so the reader can easily dip in and out of the book. Topics included are big data, statistical and machine learning models, visual perception, high-dimensional data, and maps and geographic data.

Whether you are a student considering a career in data science, an analyst who wants to learn more about visualization, or the manager of a team working with data, this book will introduce you to a broad range of data visualization methods.
