Study Notes
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
- EDA is a statistical approach to analyzing datasets by summarizing their key characteristics, often using visual methods.
Types of Data Analysis
- Descriptive Analytics: Focuses on summarizing past data to understand what has happened.
- Predictive Analytics: Uses historical data to forecast future trends and outcomes.
- Prescriptive Analytics: Transforms insights into actionable strategies, bridging knowledge and effective decision-making.
Descriptive Statistics
- Used to describe basic features of data in a study.
- Summarizes sample data with simple graphics.
- Forms the foundation of nearly all quantitative data analysis.
- Three types: measures of distribution, dispersion, and central tendency.
Measures of Distribution
- Arranging data into categories to illustrate how it is distributed.
- Frequency distribution: Shows how frequently each data point appears.
Frequency Distribution Graphs
- Histograms: Displays data with rectangular bars of varying heights, without space between bars.
- Bar Graphs: Rectangular bars with uniform width and spacing.
- Pie Charts: Visualizes relative frequencies in a circular chart divided into sectors.
- Frequency Polygon: Connects midpoints of bars in a histogram.
Central Tendency
- The three common measures: mode, median, and mean.
- Mode: The most frequent value.
- Median: The middle value in an ordered dataset.
- Mean: The average, calculated by summing all values and dividing by the total count.
Dispersion (Spread)
- Measures how spread out data values are around a central tendency.
- Key methods: range, variance, standard deviation, skewness, interquartile range (IQR).
Normal Distribution
- When data is normally distributed, its mean, median, and mode are identical.
- Data exhibits symmetry around the center.
- 50% of data points are below the mean and 50% are above it.
Interquartile Range (IQR)
- Measures the spread of the middle 50% of data in a distribution.
- Calculated by subtracting the first quartile (Q1) from the third quartile (Q3).
Five-Number Summary
- A concise way of summarizing data using these five values: minimum, Q1, median, Q3, and maximum.
Outlier Detection
- Identify data points that significantly differ from the rest of the data.
- Methods for outlier determination: 1.5 IQR technique (fence method).
Standard Deviation
- Measures the spread of data from the mean.
- It is the square root of the variance.
- A higher standard deviation indicates greater data spread.
Bar Graphs
- Graphs showcasing data using evenly sized rectangular bars, each representing a category.
Pie Charts
- Visualizations portraying relative frequencies within categories in a circular format.
