Study Notes
Data Arrangement and Distribution
- An array organizes data in a specific order, either ascending or descending.
- A histogram visually represents frequency distributions, helping to identify normal distributions (bell-shaped).
Measures of Dispersion
- The mean is a measure of central tendency, not dispersion.
- Common measures of dispersion include range, quartiles, and standard deviation.
Data Relationship Visualization
- Cross-tabulations display the relationship and distribution of values between two binary or discrete variables.
- Scatter diagrams illustrate the relationship between two quantitative variables, with dependent variables on the vertical axis and independent variables on the horizontal axis.
Graphical Representation of Variables
- A polygon can simultaneously display multiple variables or the same variable across different strata/groupings.
- Breakdowns compare statistical measures by categories (strata), such as neighborhood averages.
Additional Visualization Techniques
- Contingency tables demonstrate distributions for two binary or discrete variables, commonly used in categorical data analysis.
- The interpretation of standard deviation is contingent upon the data being normally distributed, providing insights into data spread around the mean.
Coefficient of Variation
- The coefficient of variation expresses standard deviation as a percentage of the mean, useful for comparing variability across different datasets.
Outliers in Data
- Values beyond the whiskers in box plots are classified as outliers and extremes, highlighting potential anomalies within the dataset.
