Study Notes
- STA 111: Lecture 3 topic is Descriptive Statistics, specifically Data Presentation and Exploration.
- The lecture is presented by E. E. E. Akarawak.
- Data exploration is the initial step in data analysis and includes data presentation and summary.
- Data exploration methods include tables and charts.
- Reasons for data exploration include discovering anomalies, patterns, statistical assumptions violations, and avoiding future troubles.
- EDA tools include tables (frequency, cross tabs) and charts/graphs (line graphs, bar charts, pie charts, histograms, stem and leaf displays, box plots).
- Data exploration methods depend on the data type and measurement scale.
- For qualitative data, use frequency distribution tables, simple bar charts, and pie charts, while for bivariate categorical data, use cross-tabulation and multiple bar charts.
- For quantitative data, if discrete and ordinal or grouped, use frequency tables, and for continuous data, use line graphs, histograms, and box plots.
- Key definitions: X = variable upon which values are taken, Frequency (f) = number of times each value appears, Relative Frequency (Rf) = each frequency divided by total frequency, Percentage (%) = Rf × 100, Cumulative Frequency (Cf) = progressive total of frequency for each category, and Cumulative Percentage (C%) = progressive total of the percentage for each category.
- A frequency distribution table shows frequency, relative frequency, and percentage for each category.
- A cumulative frequency distribution table shows the progressive total of frequency and percentage for each category.
- Grouping is used for continuous data or discrete data with large ranges, and the data should be divided into classes.
- Grouping rules: determine the largest (maximum) and smallest (minimum) observations, a frequency distribution should have a minimum of 5 classes and a maximum of 20, and each data entry must fall into one and only one class.
