Study Notes
Data Analysis
- Encompasses a range of techniques and procedures for analyzing, interpreting, displaying, and making decisions based on data
Data Science
- Involves the science of collecting, presenting, and analyzing data
Descriptive Statistics
- A mean is the average value of a dataset.
- A median is the middle value of a dataset when it's sorted in ascending order.
- A mode is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset.
- The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values in a dataset.
- Variance is the average of the squared differences from the mean.
- Standard Deviation is the square root of the variance.
Inferential Statistics
- A null hypothesis (H0) is a statement of no difference or no effect.
- An alternative hypothesis (H1) is a statement of difference or effect.
- A test statistic is a value calculated from the sample data to determine the significance of the result.
- A p-value is the probability of obtaining the test statistic (or a more extreme result) assuming the null hypothesis is true.
- A confidence interval is a range of values within which the true population parameter is likely to lie.
- Confidence level is the percentage of times the interval is expected to contain the true population parameter.
Probability
- An experiment is an action or situation that can produce a set of outcomes.
- An outcome is a specific result of an experiment.
- A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
- The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1.
- The probability of the sample space is 1.
- The probability of the empty set is 0.
- The probability of an event is equal to 1 minus the probability of its complement.
Data Visualization
- A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of a single variable.
- A box plot is a graphical representation of the distribution of a single variable, showing the median, quartiles, and outliers.
- A scatter plot is a graphical representation of the relationship between two variables.
- A bar chart is a graphical representation of the comparison of categorical variables.
Correlation and Regression
- Correlation measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables.
- The coefficient of correlation (r) is a value between -1 and 1 that indicates the strength and direction of the correlation.
- Regression is a statistical model that predicts the value of a continuous outcome variable based on one or more predictor variables.
- Simple Linear Regression is a model that predicts the outcome variable based on a single predictor variable.
- Multiple Linear Regression is a model that predicts the outcome variable based on multiple predictor variables.
