Statistical Computing and Graphics
In a post last week, I presented a flight patterns video from Aaron Koblin. Hadley Wickam was kind enough to point me to the original flight pattern video, which is really impressive given that it was created 14 years ago. Click on the image below, or here, to see the original flight pattern video.
There are a bunch of great videos spanning the last 30 years or so in the library section of the American Statistical Association website. Here is a link to the video section.
If you are interested in statistical computing and a little history, including PRIM-9, check out this page/video. The video features: John Tukey and Jerome Freedman.
A special thank you goes to Hadley for his contribution on this post. Hadley is an Assistant Professor at Rice University with a PhD in statistics from Iowa State University. To learn more about Hadley and his contributions to statistics and data visualization, click here.

the ASA stat computing and graphics data expo that I’m
organising this year – http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2009/. The
challenge is to analyse, visualise and make sense of airline on-time
performance data for the last 20 years. It’s a lot of data!
Traditionally, only statisticians have entered the competition, but we
would love to have wider participation and we’ll do our best to lower
any barriers in the way.
