Data Visualization and Exploration

(STAT 4413/5413, Spring 2025)

Introduction

This is a landing page for “Data Visualization and Exploration” (STAT 4413/5413).

Here we go.

This is an ode,
Written in code.

Human perception,
Without deception.

Clarity we show.

Surrounded by data,
To estimate ‘beta’.

But first we explore,
this isn’t a chore.

Here’s where we learn.

This is the joy,
The techniques we employ.

Syntactic delight,
Written byte-by-byte.

For these moments we yearn.

Learn more than asked,
’Til the truth is unmasked.

base R or not,
Just make a good plot.

Be careful with colors.

And comment your code,
That’s part of your ode.

The record you’ve kept,
In your R script.

Artifacts of your time in college.

Graphs and statistics,
You won’t want to miss this.

Let’s make things better,
Letter by letter.

Chipping away at knowledge.

I’d like to recite,
These rhymed lines all night.

But as you know,
I’m behind on grading.

Goodnight.
