1. CREATING A DATA SET
A data set (or dataset) is a collection of data. In the
case of tabular data, a data set corresponds to one or
more database tables, where every column of a table
represents a particular variable, and each row
corresponds to a given record of the data set in
question. The data set lists values for each of the
variables, such as for example height and weight of an
object, for each member of the data set. Data sets can
also consist of a collection of documents or files.
CREATING A DATA SET
PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC
STATISTICS
A parameter of a population is a constant feature that it
shares with other populations.
STATISTICAL TESTS
(PARAMETRIC)
Descriptive tests will reveal the “shape”
of the data in the sense of
how the values of a variable
are distributed.
Inferential tests will suggest results
form a sample in relation to a
population.
Univariate analysis – analyses the qualities of one
variable at a time. Only descriptive tests can be
used in this type of analysis.
Bivariate analysis – considers the properties of
two variables in relation to each other. Inferences
can be drawn from this type of analysis
The results of the various statistical tests are expressed as numbers which
indicate the characteristic and strenght of the associations
