Types of Statistical Analyses
Five Types of Statistical Analysis:
1. Descriptive analysis: used to describe the data set
2. Inferential analysis: used to generate conclusions about the population’s characteristics based on the sample data
Slide 3

Understanding Data Via Descriptive Analysis
Two sets of descriptive measures:–Measures of central tendency: used to report a
single piece of information that describes the most typical response to a question
–Measures of variability: used to reveal the typical difference between the values in a set of values

Understanding Data Via Descriptive Analysis Measures of Central Tendency:
– Mode: the value in a string of numbers that occurs most often
– Median: the value whose occurrence lies in the middle of a set of ordered values
– Mean: sometimes referred to as the “arithmetic mean”; the average value characterizing a set of numbers

Understanding Data Via Descriptive Analysis Measures of Variability:
– Frequency distribution reveals the number (percent) of occurrences of each number or set of numbers
– Range identifies the maximum and minimum values in a set of numbers
– Standard deviation indicates the degree of variation in a way that can be translated into a bell-shaped curve distribution
Slide 7
Descriptive statistics
If we wanted to characterize the students in a first year medical class we would find that they are:– Young– Fit– Male & Females
How young? How fit is this class? What is the distribution of males and females?

Slide 8
Frequency distribution
The frequency with which observations are assigned to each category or point on a measurement scale.– Most basic form of descriptive statistics– May be expressed as a percentage of the total
sample found in each category
11/04/2023
Slide 9
Frequency distribution
The distribution is “read” differently depending upon the measurement level– Nominal scales are read as discrete measurements at each level– Ordinal measures show tendencies, but categories should not be
compared– Interval and ratio scales allow for comparison among categories

Discrete and Continuous data
Data consisting of numerical (quantitative) variables can be further divided into two groups: discrete and continuous.
1. If the set of all possible values, when pictured on the number line, consists only of isolated points.
2. If the set of all values, when pictured on the number line, consists of intervals.
The most common type of discrete variable we will encounter is a
counting variable.

Slide 13
Accuracy & Precision Accuracy: the closeness of the measurements to the “actual” or “real” value
of the physical quantity.– Statistically this is estimated using the standard error of the mean
Precision: is used to indicate the closeness with which the measurements agree with one another.
- Statistically the precision is estimated by the standard deviation of the mean
Precision is related to random errors that can be dealt with using statistics
Accuracy is related to systematic errors and are difficult to deal with using statistics

Slide 16
Two types of error Systematic error
– Poor accuracy– Definite causes– Reproducible
Random error– Poor precision– Non-specific causes– Not reproducible
11/04/2023
Slide 17
Systematic error
Diagnosis– Errors have consistent signs– Errors have consistent magnitude
Treatment– Calibration– Correcting procedural flaws– Checking with a different procedure
11/04/2023
Slide 18
Random error
Diagnosis– Errors have random sign– Small errors more likely than large errors
Treatment– Take more measurements– Improve technique– Higher instrumental precision

Bar Graphs For categorical data Like a histogram, but with gaps between bars to show
that each bar is a separate group. Useful for showing two samples side-by-side

Pie Chart The pie chart is a commonly used graphical device for presenting relative frequency distributions for qualitative data.
First draw a circle; then use the relative frequencies to subdivide the circle into sectors that correspond to the
relative frequency for each class.

Slide 27
Skewness of distributions Measures look at how lopsided distributions are—how far from the ideal
of the normal curve they are When the median and the mean are different, the distribution is skewed.
The greater the difference, the greater the skew. Distributions that trail away to the left are negatively skewed and those
that trail away to the right are positively skewed If the skewness is extreme, the researcher should either transform the
data to make them better resemble a normal curve or else use a different set of statistics—nonparametric statistics—to carry out the analysis

Symmetry: Kurtosis
A high kurtosis distribution has a sharper "peak" and fatter "tails", while a low kurtosis distribution has a more rounded peak with wider "shoulders".

5. Measures of relationship…
Spearman Rho Pearson r
11/04/2023
Slide 35
correlations
determines whether and to what degree a relationship exists between two or more quantifiable variables
the degree of the relationship is expressed as a coefficient of correlation.
the presence of a correlation does not indicate a cause-effect relationship primarily because of the possibility of multiple confounding factors

So
Descriptive statistics are used to summarize data from individual respondents, etc.– They help to make sense of large numbers of individual
responses, to communicate the essence of those responses to others
They focus on typical or average scores, the dispersion of scores over the available responses, and the shape of the response curve

Chi square (χ2 ) test
11/04/2023
Slide 42
Used to:
Test for goodness of fit Test for independence of attributes Testing homogeneity Testing given population variance
11/04/2023
Slide 43
Introduction
The test we use to measure the differences between what is observed and what is expected according to an assumed hypothesis is called the chi-square test.
11/04/2023
Slide 44
Important The chi square test can only be used on
data that has the following characteristics:
The data must be in the form of frequencies
The frequency data must have a precise numerical value and
must be organised into categories or groups.
The total number of observations must be greater than 30.
The expected frequency in any one cell of the table must be
greater than 5.
11/04/2023
Slide 45

Conclusion
Compare χ2Calc. and Χ2

Calc. Is larger than χ2Critical. then reject null hypothesis and
accept the alternative Here since χ 2
Calc. is much greater than χ 2Critical, we can easily
reject null hypothesisthat is ; there lies a relation between the gender and choice of selection.
