Statistics for Data Analysis @NikB 6/13/2014

Introduction
Average do a great Job, but still doesnt tell
you full story,
Measure of Variability and Spread It tells the typical value of data set, but not
sufficient information
Will discuss
Range and Variation

Situation: Coad need a New

Player in a Team Lets see the data set
After all the trial, he narrowed to Three players
What you recommend?
All three has same
average score
What to do?

Range Lets See things with this

Compute, mean, lower bound upper bound and
range, and say about it

What is range of Score

for each player?
Does it help?

Outliers Outliers
Lets See Outliers

Range and Outliers Avoid outliers

Range that exclude outliers
Be careful with range, It is easy but can mislead the
interpretation.

Is this good??

Quartiles Interquartile Range: IQR

Very Less Sensitive to outliers
50% of middle is counted

Chunks: quartiles, Q1:Lower Q3: Upper

Range: Q3-Q1: Interquartile Range (IQR)

Finding Compute

Rang:
Lower quartile
Upper Quartile
IQR

Other Range option

Percentile Percentile

Percentile
GATE Score
Deciles
Interpercentile range
and Percentile
Quartles has
P25, P50, P75

Visualization of Range
Finding Percentile Box plot
Box and whisker diagram
Shows range, IQR, and median of data
Great way of comparing data sets

Variance Example
Variance is The average of the squared differences from the Example: height of dogs (millimeter)
Mean. 600mm, 470mm, 170mm, 430mm and 300mm
What is mean and variance?
Mean =394

Variance Why square? Why not abs?

Distance from mean

Why square???

Standard Deviation Standard Deviation

Variance is 21,704
Standard Deviation: = 21,704 = 147.32...
= 147

Standard Deviation Exercise

Compute Mean variance and Standard Deviation
