Explore the significance of graphical representation in data analysis with Hein Stigum's insightful presentation. Discover why graphs are essential, their common uses, and the evolution of graphic methods. Delve into practical examples, including linear and logistic regression analyses focusing on iron levels and weight impacts on blood pressure. Learn about advanced plotting techniques like scatter and density plots, boxplots, and more, tailored for various psychological phenomena and outcomes, including birth weight analysis based on different factors.
