Spurious Correlations - Hardcover
Críticas
Although it is often funny, Vigen adds that 'this book has a serious side. Graphs can lie, and not all correlations are indicative of an underlying causal connection.' We may love to contemplate the data that seem to connect sharks and tornados (who wouldn't?), but Vigen's reminder is important when we're faced with spurious correlations in the wild, played not for laughs but to mislead.--Boston Globe
The perfect little book for adding fuel to your Dad's font of...information."--Bustle
"Draws into comical and obvious relief how easily we can get trapped into seeing relationships where there are none."--Boston Globe
"Hilarious."--Washington Post
"Cheeky."--Huffington Post
"Bizarre."--The Daily Mirror
"Spurious Correlations...is the most fun you'll ever have with graphs."--Bustle
Reseña del editor
Is there a connection between Nicolas Cage films and drowning ? What about cruise ship profits and pirate attacks ? In spurious correlations, Tyler Vigen illustrates the golden rule that "correlation does not equal causation" through hilarious graphs and insightful comments inspired by his popular website.
