Visual Statistics Use R!
Alexey Shipunov · Minot State University
The ignorance of the statistical methods can lead to mistakes and misinterpretations. Unfortunately, understanding of these methods is far from common. Many college majors require a course in probability theory and mathematical statistics, but all many of us remember from these courses is horror and/or frustration at complex mathematical formulas filled with Greek letters, some of them wearing hats.
