(2.1) How to represent relationship of two categorical variables?

Graphical representation: bar graphs
Numerical representation: two-way tables, conditional relative frequencies

New cards

(2.1) How to represent relationship of two quantitative variables?

Graphical reps: scatterplots
Numerical reps: correlation, linear regression, coefficient of determination

3
New cards

(2.2) How to determine if there is association between the two categorical variables?

If distributions are not the same in each group, there is an association between the two variables

4
New cards

(2.2) How to make graphical displays to show relationship of two categorical variables?

Side-by-side graph, segmented bar graph, mosaic plot

5
New cards

(2.3) How to use summary statistics to determine if there is association between two categorical variables?

If distribution of conditional relative frequencies are not the same for all groups, then there is association

6
New cards

(2.4) Explanatory and Response variables

Explanatory (x) variables predict or 'explain' trends in the response (y) variable

7
New cards

(2.4) Form & Unusual Features

Form can be linear or non linear. Unusual features can be clusters or apparent outliers.

8
New cards

(2.4) Strength and Direction

New cards

(2.4) When describing relationships between two quantitative variables include what?

Should include direction, form, strength, unusual features, context

10
New cards

(2.5) Is Correlation = Causation?

Correlation ≠ causation

11
New cards

(2.5) Relationship between magnitude of correlation coefficient and strength of linear relationship?

When r is closer to 0 its weaker, when its closer to -1 or 1 it is stronger

12
New cards

(2.5) Sign of correlation coefficient and direction of a linear relationship?

When r is negative, direction is negative. When r is positive, direction is positive.

13
New cards

(2.5) What to watch out for in correlation and causation?

Beware of other variables, as well as coincidental correlations

14
New cards

(2.6) Linear Regression Model Formula?

Ĺ·= a + bx


Ĺ· = predicted y-value

a = y-intercept

b = slope

15
New cards

(2.6) Problems of extrapolation?

Extrapolation is dangerous since trends may not continue.

16
New cards

(2.7) Residual formula?

y - Ĺ·

where y is the actual value and Ĺ· is the predicted value

17
New cards

(2.7) Residual Values and Linear Model Fit

  • 'Apparent randomness', centering at zero = good sign of model fit

  • Patterns = bad sign for model fit

18
New cards

(2.7) What do positive and negative residual values indicate?

  • Positive residual values = Under-prediction

  • Negative residual values = Over-prediction

19
New cards

(2.9) How do you assess the effectiveness of transformations?

  • By seeing if patterns in the residual plots were reduced

  • By seeing if the r2 values increased
