Abstract

Statistical strategies are formal descriptions of the actions and decisions involved in applying statistical tools to a problem. One difficult problem, beyond strategy design issues, is ensuring an effective interaction between the the user and the implementation of the strategy. In this paper we review some existing techniques that have been effective in mediating the interaction between users and expert statistical systems for data analysis. We explore the relationship between navigation and statistical decision-making and consider features common to both areas. Our analysis leads to the identification of navigation functions that we believe could improve almost any system for statistical data analysis.
