Visualization

The National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) is proud to introduce a new initiative aimed at advancing the role of visualization in statistical and data sciences. This initiative will focus on promoting the development, application, and best practices of diverse forms of visualization in research and industry.
 
Visualization is an essential tool for interpreting complex datasets and communicating findings effectively. Through this initiative, NISS seeks to highlight the latest advancements in data visualization, statistical graphics, interactive dashboards, and innovative ways to visually represent uncertainty, relationships, and patterns in data.
 

Exploring the Power of Visuals in Statistical and Data Sciences

NISS aims to build a community of practitioners who appreciate the value of clear and insightful visualizations in conveying complex data and statistical relationships. Join us in exploring how innovative visualization techniques can transform our understanding of data in the modern world. 
 
  • Workshops and Webinars: Hands-on sessions with leading experts in data visualization, focusing on tools like R, Python, and Tableau to teach participants how to create compelling and insightful visual representations.
  • Seminars on Visualization Theory: Discussions on cognitive aspects of how humans interpret visual information and best practices for clear, accurate, and informative visualizations.
  • Case Studies: Presentations of real-world applications showcasing how visualization is being used to solve practical problems in industries like healthcare, finance, and technology.
  • Competitions and Challenges: Encouraging participants to create novel visualizations and share them with the community to foster innovation and creativity.
  • Best Practices for Communicating Uncertainty: Addressing how to visually represent uncertainty in statistical models to enhance understanding and decision-making.

About the NISS CoLab

The National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS), an independent non-profit research organization founded in 1990 by the ASA, IBS, IMS, the triangle universities, and others, is excited to announce the launch of the NISS Collaboratory (CoLab). This new initiative will host collaborative events and activities, bringing together NISS Affiliates and partner institutions to work on high-impact cross-disciplinary and cross-sector research. NISS identifies, seeds, catalyzes, and fosters such research in the statistical and data sciences, serving as a neutral, objective expert in delivering critical scientific and public policy research to academia, industry, and government.

CoLab aims to strengthen these efforts by enhancing collaboration and innovation across diverse fields:
