Flashcards

Histogram

A type of graph that shows the distribution of a single variable by dividing the data into intervals (bins) and counting the number of observations in each bin.

Scatterplot

A type of graph that shows the relationship between two variables. Each data point represents a pair of values for the two variables.

over()

A function that divides data into categories based on the values of a categorical variable.

plabel()

A function that specifies the labels to be displayed on the slices (bars or other shapes) in a graph.

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.
