| 520 | |a Graphical methods for displaying data, as well as available computer software and hardware, are reviewed. The authors have emphasized the types of graphs which are most relevant to the needs of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and its readers. The following types of graphs are described: tabulations, stem-and-leaf displays, histograms, rootograms, probability plots, bar graphs, box plots, scatterplots, biplots, motion graphics, tables, pie charts, glyphs, faces, maps, and trees and castles. Ways to display distributions and to display relationships between two or three or more variables are discussed. Several software packages are briefly reviewed: SAS, SPSS, BMDP, OSIRIS, EXPAK, Exploratory Data Analysis Package, ABCs of EDA, STATGRAPHICS, S Package, FACES, Trees and Castles, CANDEC, and ORION I. The wider use of inferential types of graphs is recommended for educational data analysis and the presentation of findings in NCES reports such as "The Condition of Education." Hardware discussions include Hewlett-Packard, Tektronix, Digital, and Versatec. Software packages are discussed in terms of use with mainframe computers, or mini and desktop computers: ISSCO Graphics, Hewlett-Packard, Tektronix, SAS/GRAPH, STATGRAPHICS, Intelligent Graphics Systems, and Chart Master.
