Statistical graphics, also known as graphical techniques, are graphics in the field of statistics used to visualize quantitative data. == Overview == Whereas statistics and data analysis procedures generally yield their output in numeric or tabular form, graphical techniques allow such results to be displayed in some sort of pictorial form. They include plots such as scatter plots, histograms, probability plots, spaghetti plots, residual plots, box plots, block plots and biplots.〔(The Role of Graphics ) in: ''NIST/SEMATECH e-Handbook of Statistical Methods'', 2003-2010. Accessed May 5, 2011.〕 Exploratory data analysis (EDA) relies heavily on such techniques. They can also provide insight into a data set to help with testing assumptions, model selection and regression model validation, estimator selection, relationship identification, factor effect determination, and outlier detection. In addition, the choice of appropriate statistical graphics can provide a convincing means of communicating the underlying message that is present in the data to others.〔 Graphical statistical methods have four objectives:〔William G. Jacoby (1997). ''Statistical Graphics for Univariate and Bivariate Data: Statistical Graphics'' pp.2–4〕 * The exploration of the content of a data set * The use to find structure in data * Checking assumptions in statistical models * Communicate the results of an analysis. If one is not using statistical graphics, then one is forfeiting insight into one or more aspects of the underlying structure of the data. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「statistical graphics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
