    Study Notes

    Graphical Analysis

    • Histograms visually display the distribution of variables. They represent the frequency of data points within specific ranges (bins).
    • Pie charts show the proportional contribution of different categories within a whole. They are effective for representing categorical data.
    • Bar charts compare variables across categories using rectangular bars' lengths. Ideal for comparing quantities.
    • Box plots illustrate the distribution of a variable across different groups. They show medians, quartiles, and outliers.
    • Kernel density estimates (KDE) create smooth curves to show variable distributions. Display data density, unlike histograms with discrete bins.
    • Scatter plots visualize the relationship between two continuous variables, showing data points' locations.
    • Graph matrices display scatter plots for various pairs of variables in a dataset.

    Bivariate Inferential Statistics

    • Independent t-test assesses if the means of a variable differ significantly between two independent samples.

    • Analysis of variance (ANOVA) determines if the means of a variable are significantly different across multiple groups.

    • Chi-squared test analyzes the relationship between two categorical variables. It examines if categories are independent or related.

    • A p-value less than 0.05 indicates statistical significance, while a p-value greater than 0.05 means the result is not statistically significant. This reflects whether a difference is likely due to chance.
