In this chapter, we've introduced some EDA measures. If you want a more extensive EDA introduction, I recommend the Exploratory Data Analysis course on Coursera – www.coursera.org/course/exdata.

If you prefer going to the source, Exploratory Data Analysis Paperback, by John W. Tukey, is for you.

Wikipedia offers some useful insights into these EDA statistics concepts.
