Study Notes
Numerical Data Summary
- Data can be summarised by two parameters: measures of centrality and measures of spread.
-
Measures of Centrality indicate a typical or central value.
- Mode: The most frequently occurring value in a dataset.
- Median: The middle value of a dataset ordered from smallest to largest.
- Mean: The arithmetic average of all values in a dataset.
-
Measures of Spread show how widely the data is distributed around its center.
- Range: The difference between the largest and smallest values.
- Inter-quartile Range (IQR): The range of the middle 50% of the data.
- Semi-inter-quartile Range (SIQR): Half the value of the IQR.
- Standard Deviation: A measure of the average deviation of data points from the mean.
-
Standard Deviation can be calculated for both populations and samples.
- Population Standard Deviation (σ): A measure of the spread of data in an entire population.
- Sample Standard Deviation (s): An estimate of the population standard deviation based on a sample of data.
- The choice of the most appropriate measure of centrality and spread depends on the type of data.
- For ordinal data, use the median and IQR.
- For interval or ratio data, use the mean and standard deviation.
-
Graphical representations of data can be used to estimate summary statistics.
- Histograms can be used to estimate the mode.
- Cumulative frequency diagrams (ogives) can be used to estimate the median and interquartile range.
