The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

The best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone's backyard.

This is my favorite part about analytics: Taking boring flat data and bringing it to life through visualization.

Numerical quantities focus on expected values, graphical summaries on unexpected values.

I know of no person or group that is taking nearly adequate advantage of the graphical potentialities of the computer.

When communicating results to non-technical types there is nothing better than a clear visualization to make your point.
