1 beoordeling
 5 keer verkocht

This summary is all the information you will need to pass the Statistics 1 (resit) exam. It contains 8 very comprehensive subjects, which can be placed within the context of statistics. The summary is aligned with the decision tree I made. This summary is especially useful for students who have fo...

,1. Descriptive statistics/Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
Lecture 2, 3


> ​Why: ​study the data in order to describe its key properties. Maybe some additional questions arise.
> ​What: f​ or each variable diagrams/tables and numerical summaries of distributions.

In EDA, you look at distributions: the shape, the center and the spread.
> If we can say that our variable has a particular distribution, this tells a lot about how likely certain
outcomes will be (if it’s close to the mean).
> The normal distribution is most used distribution, there are more.


1.1 Charts
Before choosing a chart, you have to consider:
> ​The measurement level​: ratio/interval, ordinal, nominal.
> ​The number of variables going into this particular EDA​: + what’s their relationship with each other?
> ​The number of cases:​ are there any groups?

Bar chart
A bar chart puts a bar for every value you have in the variable. There are no bars for values that don’t occur.
> Suitable for data with a limited number of values (categorial) : ​ordinal/nominal​. Also ratio variables, but you
have to group them first (after that e.g. compare means).
> You can have more variables in one bar chart to explain certain connections (→ bar chart for crosstables
(→ crosstables)).

Histogram
The software will compute ‘bins’ which helps clarify the distribution of the variable.
> Suitable for data with a lot of values, ready to be categorized: ​interval/ratio​.
> You can detect abnormalities.

, Boxplot
Tells the distribution (just as the histogram).
> Suitable for ​detecting outliers i​ n your data (displayed with circles/stars and
case number).
> Box plot from bottom to top: 1.5 times height of the box, first quartile,
median, third quartile, 1.5 times height of the box , outliers.
> If you can’t find any good reason to leave out the outliers, leave them in.

Stem and leaf display
Gives the distribution and summarizes the data in a particular way (if you
rotate it 90 degrees you get sort of a histogram).
> Suitable for ​small datasets,​ you can easily draw it yourself.
> Cuts out the extreme values.


1.2 Normality
> Normal distribution: bell-shaped, symmetrical, unimodal. Completely
described by μ and σ (→ see figure).
> Sometimes, visuals (charts etc.) isn’t enough to decide if the variable is
normally distributed
→ skewness/kurtosis (only for ratio/interval).




Skewness Kurtosis
> Measure of (a)symmetry. > Measure of ‘peakyness’ or ‘flatness’.
> Approaches 0 for symmetric distributions > Approaches 3 for normal distributions.
(normal distribution have therefore no skew).
>3: leptokurtic: values concentrate around specific
>0: positive skew,:most values to the left of the mean. values (can have more peaks).
≈0: no skew: normal distribution. ≈3: mesokurtic: normal distribution.
<0: negative skew: most values to the right of the mean. <3: platykurtic: more uniform distributions.



Q-Q plot/quantile plot
> Has many names and there are a lot of different ways to run the plot: the outcome is the same.
> Plots observed value against the expected normal distribution (linear line): if it’s on the line, it’s normal.
> More precise than a histogram.
