【 摘 要 】

Despite the availability of software for interactive graphics, current survey processing systems make limited use of this modern tool. Interactive graphics offer insights, which are difficult to obtain with traditional statis tical tools. This paper shows the use of interactive graphics for analysing survey data. Using Labour Force Survey data from Pakistan, we describe how plotting data in different ways and using interactive tools enables analysts to obtain information from the dataset that would normally not be possible using standard statistical methods. It is also shown that interacative graphics can help the analyst to improve data quality by identifying erroneous cases.
