Study Notes
Frequency Distribution for Continuous Data
- The Text is about frequency distribution of continuous data.
- Frequency Distribution is displaying how often data occurs in a particular range of values.
- Histogram is a graphical representation of frequency distribution using bars to show the frequency of each range of values.
- Relative Frequency is the frequency of values divided by the total number of observations.
- Cumulative relative frequency is the sum of relative frequencies up to and including a particular class.
- Quantiles divide data into equal parts, each representing a certain proportion of the data.
- Deciles divide the data into 10 equal parts, each representing 10%.
- Quintiles divide the data into 5 equal parts, each representing 20% of the data.
- Quartiles divide the data into 4 equal parts, each representing 25%.
- Median is the middle value of the sorted data, representing the 50% mark.
Numerical Description of One-Dimensional Frequency Distributions
- Median is less affected by extreme values or outliers than other measures.
- Arithmetic mean is a simple average of data points, calculated by summing values and dividing by the total number of observations.
- Mean is influenced by outliers and tends to be pulled towards extreme values.
- Mean can be calculated using original data, frequency distribution or relative frequency distribution.
- Center of gravity property of mean states that the sum of deviations of each data point from the mean equals zero.
- Geometric mean is used to calculate average growth rates.
- Variance (s2) measures the spread (dispersion) of the data around the mean.
- Standard deviation (s) is the square root of variance and provides a measure of the average distance of data points from the mean.
- Mean squared error (MSE) is another measure of dispersion and is used for comparing different values of the mean.
- Coefficient of variation (v) standardizes the standard deviation by dividing it by the mean.
Advanced Topics
- Pooling of variance refers to combining variances from different groups to obtain the variance of the combined data.
- Variance Decomposition states that the variance of a dataset can be broken down into two components, variance within groups and variance between groups.
- Data transformation refers to applying mathematical functions to data to change its distribution or scale, such as logarithmic transformation to address skewed data.
- Example of data transformation is applying logarithmic transformation to correct for bias in calculating the average change in the German stock index.
