Study Notes
Data Analysis Techniques
- Subsetting is a significant component of data management, used for selecting and filtering variables and observations.
- It helps to observe only the required set of data by filtering out unnecessary content.
Subsetting Methods
- Row-based subsetting: selecting specific rows from the top or bottom of the table.
- Column-based subsetting: selecting specific columns from the dataset.
- Data-based subsetting: breaking down the data into specific categories and selecting only those rows that meet the criteria.
Two-Way Frequency Tables
- A two-way frequency table is a statistical table that demonstrates the observed number or frequency for two variables.
- It shows how many data points fit in each category.
- The row category and column category are used to organize the data.
Interpreting Two-Way Tables
- Two-way relative frequency tables are helpful when there are different sample sizes in a dataset.
- Percentages make it easier to compare the preferences.
Mean
- Mean is a measure of central tendency, also known as the simple average.
- It is an average value of a data set.
- Mean is calculated by adding up all the values in the data set and dividing them by the number of values present.
Data Merging and Statistics
- Z-Score: a measure of how many standard deviations an element is from the mean.
- Percentiles: a measure of the value below which a certain percentage of data points fall.
- Quartiles: a measure of the value below which 25% or 50% of data points fall.
- Deciles: a measure of the value below which 10% of data points fall.
Ethics in Data Science
- Data governance framework: a set of rules and guidelines for managing and analyzing data.
- Ethical guidelines around data analysis: guidelines for ensuring that data analysis is fair and unbiased.
- Discarding the Data: the importance of properly disposing of data that is no longer needed.
