Study Notes
Frequency Tables
- Frequency tables organize data by recording counts and category names.
- They do not organize only quantitative data.
- They organize data.
Relative Frequency Tables
- Relative frequency tables display proportions, not percentages.
- They display proportions, not percentages.
- They can display '0%'
Area Principle
- The area of a bar should correspond to the magnitude of its value in data displays.
- The area of a bar cannot be zero.
Frequencies of Categorical Variables
- Combining frequencies of two categorical variables does not always result in 100%.
- Combining frequencies of two categorical variables may or may not result in 100%.
Pie Charts
- Pie charts are more useful than bar charts when comparing categories.
- Pie charts lack overlapping categories.
- Pie charts do not always add up to 100%.
Marginal Distribution
- The marginal distribution is the same as the frequency distribution in a contingency table.
- The marginal distribution is for variables with negligible probabilities.
Contingency Table Totals
- Contingency table totals can be expressed in percents.
Conditional Distribution
- A conditional distribution gives the distribution of one variable for cases that satisfy a specific condition.
- It involves one variable given a condition on another.
- It applies only to categorical variables, not just correlated ones.
Simpson's Paradox
- Simpson's Paradox occurs when combining percentages from different groups.
- Inappropriately combining percentages of different groups leads to this issue.
Stem-and-Leaf Displays
- In stem-and-leaf displays, the first digit of the number represents a bin.
- The next digit of the number is for the bar.
- Stem-and-leaf displays are similar in shape to histograms.
Describing Distributions
- Distribution descriptions include shape, center, and spread.
Histograms
- Peaks in a histogram are called modes.
- A histogram can have no peaks, be unimodal, or be multimodal.
- A histogram without a peak implies data is uniformly distributed
Symmetric Distributions
- Distributions are symmetric when their halves mirroring the center.
Outliers
- Outliers can be errors in data.
- Outliers can be extraordinary events affecting statistical methods.
- Outliers affect statistical analyses.
Scatterplots
- Scatterplots display one quantitative variable against another.
Direction in Scatterplots
Scatterplots are analyzed for direction and form.
- Clusters and their tightness show the strength of relationships.
Bivariate Analysis
- Scatterplots are a form of bivariate analysis.
- Bivariate analysis involves two variables, multivariate analysis involves multiple variables.
- Univariate analysis involves one variable.
Explanatory Variables
- Explanatory variables are also known as predictor variables or independent variables.
Correlation
- Correlation measures the strength of a linear relationship among variables.
- Correlation measures linear association and not always the strength of the relationship.
Correlation and Variables
- Correlation is not affected by the scaling of either variable.
- Correlation sign shows the direction of the association.
- Outliers can affect correlation results significantly.
Lurking Variables
- Lurking variables simultaneously affect two variables.
- Lurking variables are often unobserved, like business cycles.
Sample Space
- The sample space is the collection of all possible outcomes in a statistical experiment.
- This includes all potential results of an action.
Probability of an Event
- The probability of an event is its long-run frequency.
- The probability is based on possible outcomes.
Independence
- Independent events do not influence each other.
- Independent events have equal probability of occurring.
Empirical Probability
- Empirical probability estimates probabilities based on observations.
- It uses repeated observations to estimate the value.
Probability of Possible Outcomes
- The probability of all possible outcomes sums to 1 (or 100%).
- A set including all possible outcomes is complete.
Multiplication Rule
- The multiplication rule applies only to independent events.
Addition Rule
- The addition rule applies only to disjoint events.
Disjoint Events
- Disjoint events cannot be independent, although they can be, but not necessarily.
Conditional Probability
- Conditional probability depends on marginal probabilities.
P Value
- The p-value is the probability of observing data given a specific hypothesis.
Rejection of Hypothesis
- P-values above a significance level mean failing to reject the null hypothesis.
Standard Error
- The standard error estimates the standard deviation of a sample statistic.
Student's t-distribution
- The t-distribution changes with sample size.
- The t-distribution is similar to the normal distribution in larger samples.
- Degrees of freedom affect how t-distribution is used
Degrees of Freedom in a t-test
- Degrees of freedom in t-tests depend on sample size and confidence level.
Sample Size Considerations
- Student's t-model may not hold for very small samples or skewed distributions.
- Larger samples make t-distributions more similar to normal distributions.
