Colors and Numbers

Wanted to share my new book, Colors and Numbers (6 years after my best-selling Statistics Topics).  An arts and statistics experience.  Illustrated and written by Salil Mehta.  Sold in the graphic arts, and probability and statistics categories.

Colors and Numbers link

This book graphically explores six broad and interlinked ideas:

* missing data

* proximate bias

* perception wedges

* busted rulers

* compunded errors

* simulators

Real-world examples include Enron and Madoff, WMDs, the World Trade Center, 737 Max, presidential polls, coronavirus, and more.  It's a large (8.5" x 8.5") color book.  Visually stimulating [no formulas]; and just $10.  Please check it out, and let your friends know!

Some of the illustrations are shown here, though wanted to share on this blog site my final drawing in the book.  A hamster chase, unaware that it is on a wheel.  We can feel like that sometimes, moving through life, and statistically poring over constructs the same way everyone has told us to.  Accidentally trapped in a simulator of our own making.  I spent hours perfecting those hamster whiskers!  

In any event, it is my hope that through the book that you will appreciate that your wheel, however, is only imaginary.  Your analytical capabilities will always be fully unleashed, whenever you are able to unbound your creativity.  Continue to be healthy as you pass through this year.  Wishing you the best!
