Michael,
thanks for the chastisement. I know that the visualization discussion has been sparse at best, my current work has me focused in other areas of analytics right now so it’s hard to get my brain into that space.

As far as statistics books go, I really just keep a couple of old college statistics course text books around for when I can’t find the answer on the Internet somewhere, or need an explanation to something I don’t understand. I also have a couple of books on the Taguchi method for multivariate testings, but haven’t had a chance to use them much.

Clint,

I attended your presentation at emetrics last year, and it really opened my eyes about the power of data visualization. I was actually planning on chiding you a little bit, because you hadn’t been posting on this topic that much lately and thats why I read your blog. I hope that I can find a way to attend these workshops.

And a question: If you were going to recommend a solid and accessible book on statistics and statistical methods, what would it be?

thanks

June, that’s right, I’m sure I mentioned him at some point. Glad to hear that you will be able to go! Hopefully I’ll swing it too and see you there.

Hi Clint! If memory serves me right, I first heard of Stephen Few when you mentioned him during your presentation at Emetrics last spring.

I’m going to the workshop; hope you can make it, too.
