Visual Revelations: Graphical Tales of Fate and Deception from Napoleon Bonaparte to Ross Perot
ISBN: 9781461274865 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This extraordinary book provides a journey through the jungle of good and bad graphical devices used to illustrate and obfuscate data. The diversity of examples is tremendous: ranging from Napoleon's retreat from Moscow to the O-rings on the space shuttle and from mortalities in hospitals to the schedules of buses. The author's aim is to illustrate how effectively a well-chosen graphic can reveal in an instant the essential truth behind some data whilst a poorly designed representation can conceal an awful truth. As well as providing numerous examples of both, the author includes plenty of...

Truth or Truthiness: Distinguishing Fact from Fiction by Learning to Think Like a Data Scientist
ISBN: 9781107130579 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Teacher tenure is a problem. Teacher tenure is a solution. Fracking is safe. Fracking causes earthquakes. Our kids are over-tested. Our kids are not tested enough. We read claims like these in the newspaper every day, often with no justification other than 'it feels right'. How can we figure out what is right? Escaping from the clutches of truthiness begins with one simple question: 'what is the evidence?' With his usual verve and flair, Howard Wainer shows how the sceptical mindset of a data scientist can expose truthiness, nonsense, and outright deception. Using the tools of causal...

ISBN: 9780199668793 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is it sensible to screen for breast or prostate cancer?

In his entertaining and informative book Graphic Discovery, Howard Wainer unlocked the power of graphical display to make complex problems clear. Now he's back with Picturing the Uncertain World, a book that explores how graphs can serve as maps to guide us when the information we have is ambiguous or incomplete. Using a visually diverse sampling of graphical display, from heartrending autobiographical displays of genocide in the Kovno ghetto to the "Pie Chart of Mystery" in a New Yorker cartoon, Wainer illustrates the many ways graphs can be used--and misused--as we...

Drawing Inferences from Self-Selected Samples
ISBN: 9781461293811 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 163 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. During the course of the rhetoric surrounding the 1984 Presidential election campaign in the United States there were a variety of statements made that gave me pause. For example, I heard candidate Ferraro explain her poor showing in pre-election polls by saying. " I don't believe those polls. If you could see the enthusiasm for our candidacy 'out there' you wouldn't believe them either. " Obviously, trying to estimate one's popularity in the entire voting population from the enthusiasm of your supporters at political rallies is not likely to yield accurate results. I suspect that trying to...

Testlet Response Theory and Its Applications
ISBN: 9780521862721 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The measurement models employed to score tests have been evolving over the past century from those that focus on the entire test (true score theory) to models that focus on individual test items (item response theory) to models that use small groups of items (testlets) as the fungible unit from which tests are constructed and scored (testlet response theory, or TRT). In this book, the inventors of TRT trace the history of this evolution and explain the character of modern TRT. Written for researchers and professionals in statistics, psychometrics, and educational psychology, the first part...

ISBN: 9780521855549 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A scientific revolution began at the end of the 18th century with the creation and popularization of the graphic display of data by Scottish inventor William Playfair, who introduced the line graph, bar chart, and pie chart into statistics. His remarkable Atlas demonstrated how much could be learned if one plotted data graphically and looked for suggestive patterns to provide evidence for pursuing research. In the Statistical Breviary, Playfair invented the pie chart and expanded upon this concept to facilitate the comparison of the resources of European countries. Playfair's work has great...
