Note that when we remove observation 7, the two standard deviations are in substantial agreement, and the difference in the means is not that impressive anymore. This example shows that x and s2 are not robust; that is, their values are easily affected by outliers, particularly in small samples. Therefore, we would not conclude that hospital stay is different for antibiotic users vs. non -antibio tic users. 2 CHAPTER 2/DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS 3 2.4-2.7 Changing the scale by a factor c will multiply each data value xi by c, changing it to cxi . Again the same individual’s value will be at the median and the same individual’s value will be at the mode, but these value s will be multiplied by c. The geometric mean will be multiplied by c also, as can easily be shown: Geometric mean = [(cx1)(cx2 )
(cxn )]1/n = (cn x1 x2 xn )1/n = c( x1 x2 xn )1/n = c old geometric mean The range will also be multiplied by c. For example, if c = 2 we have: xi –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 xi Original Scale –6 –4 –2 0 2 Scale 2 4 6 2.8 We first read the data file “running time” in R > require(xlsx) > running< -na.omit(read.xlsx("C:/Data_sets/running_time.xlsx",1, header=TRUE)) Let us print the first observations > head(running) week time 1 1 12.80 2 2 12.20 3 3 12.25 4 4 12.18 5 5 11.53 6 6 12.47 The mean 1-mile running time over 18 weeks is equal to 12.09 minutes: > mean(running$time) [1] 12.08889 2.9 The standard deviation is given by > sd(running$time) [1] 0.3874181 2.10 Let us first create the variable “time_100” and then calculate its mean and standard deviation > running$time_100=100*running$time > mean(running$time_100) [1] 1208.889 > sd(running$time_100) [1] 38.74181 2.11 Let us to construct the stem -and-leaf plot in R using the stem.leaf command from the package “aplpack” > require(aplpack) CHAPTER 2/DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS 4 23 282.43 (x − x ) > stem.leaf(running$time_100, unit=1, trim.outliers=FALSE) 1 | 2: represents 12 leaf unit: 1 n: 18 2 115 | 37 3 116 | 7 5 117 | 23 7 118 | 03 8 119 | 2 (1) 120 | 8 9 121 | 8 8 122 | 05 6 123 | 03 4 124 | 7 3 125 | 5 2 126 | 7 127 | 1 128 | 0 Note: one can also use the standard command stem (which does require the “aplpack” package) to get a similar plot > stem(running$time_100, scale = 4) 2.12 The quantiles of the running times are > quantile(running$time) 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 11.5300 11.7475 12.1300 12.3225 12.8000 An outlying value is identify has any value x such that x upper quartile+1.5 (upper quartile -lower quartile) = 12.32 +1.5 (12.32 −11.75) = 12.32 + 0.85 = 13.17 Since 12.97 minutes is smaller than the largest nonoutlying value (13.17 minutes), this running time recorded in his first week of running in the spring is not an outlying value relative to the distribution of running times recorded the previous year. 2.13 The mean is x = xi = 469 = 19.54 mg dL 12.8 12.6 12.4 12.2 12.0 11.8 11.6 Box plot of running times 24 2.14 We have that 24 2 i s2 = i=1 = 24 (49 −19.54)2 +
