Study Notes
Definition and Characteristics
- A bivariate statistical series is a set of paired data points, where each observation consists of two values, often represented as (x, y)
- The series is characterized by a relationship between the two variables, with the goal of analyzing and understanding this relationship
- Bivariate series can be used to identify patterns, correlations, and dependencies between the two variables
Types of Bivariate Series
- Time Series: A sequence of paired data points measured at regular time intervals, often used to analyze patterns and trends over time
- Cross-Sectional Series: A set of paired data points collected at a single point in time, often used to analyze differences between individuals, groups, or categories
- Panel Series: A combination of time series and cross-sectional series, where data is collected over time for multiple individuals, groups, or categories
Measures of Association
- Covariance: A measure of the linear relationship between the two variables, calculated as the average of the product of the deviations from the mean
- Correlation Coefficient (r): A standardized measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship, ranging from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to 1 (perfect positive correlation)
- Coefficient of Determination (R²): A measure of the proportion of the variance in one variable explained by the other variable, ranging from 0 (no association) to 1 (perfect association)
Analysis and Visualization
- Scatter Plots: A graphical representation of the bivariate series, used to visualize the relationship between the two variables
- Regression Analysis: A statistical method used to model the relationship between the two variables, including simple and multiple linear regression
- Correlation Matrix: A table showing the correlation coefficients between multiple variables, used to identify patterns and relationships between variables
