Reviews

From the reviews: "This handbook shows hundreds of ways to visualize data by using modern, high-quality statistical graphics. … It is most enjoyable to see such a large number of specialists sharing their insights of these methods within one volume. This book really feeds the imagination of the reader. High-dimensionally recommended!" (Kimmo Vehkalahti, International Statistical Review, Vol. 76 (3), 2008)
