Study Notes
Data Representation and Types
- Adding years as a dimension creates multidimensional tables for tracking changes in clubs across age and gender categories.
- Data set types include networks and trees, revealing relationships between objects like "run-buddies" who often participate together in races.
- Continuous data requires sampling and extrapolation due to the concept of infinite measurements, represented by systematically recording instances such as heartbeats.
Data Set Types
- Four primary types of data sets:
- Tables: Organize data in rows and columns; can be multidimensional.
- Networks and Trees: Visualize relationships between items.
- Fields: Handle continuous data, necessitating sampling methods.
- Geometry: Refers to spatial data structures.
Key Data Types
- Items: Objects in the data set (e.g., runners).
- Links: Relationships between items (e.g., training partnerships).
- Attributes: Characteristics of items (e.g., club affiliations).
- Positions: Locations represented in 2D or 3D (e.g., race start points).
- Grids: Method of regular data sampling rather than a pure data type.
Running Example - Hill Running in Scotland
- Runners compete in annual races, emphasizing community and participation in Scottish hill racing.
- Example of collected data in races includes categories like year, position, bib number, runner’s name, club, age category, and finishing time.
Two Breweries Hill Race (TBHR) Data Examples
- Illustrates a specific race with historical data from 1984 detailing:
- Finishing positions and times along with runner demographics (club, age category).
- Enables analysis of how performance and demographics have evolved over time by comparing multiple years of data.
Summary of Concepts
- Data Types:
- Items (objects), attributes (properties), links (relationships), positions (locations), grids (sampling).
- Data Set Types:
- Tables, networks, fields, geometry.
- Data Availability:
- Static (observed at once) vs. dynamic (observed over time).
- Attribute Types:
- Categorical and ordered (ordinal, quantitative).
- Ordering Directions:
- Sequential, diverging, cyclic for analyzing data trends.
