DATA ANALYSIS Making Sense of Data ZAIDA RAHAYU YET
Types of Data The type(s) of data collected in a study determine the type of statistical analysis used.
Types of Data Qualitative Data Quantitative Data Discrete Continuous Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio
Terms Describing Data • Quantitative Data: • Deals with numbers. • Data which can measured. • (can be subdivided into interval and ratio data) • Example:- length, height, weight, volume • Qualitative Data (Categorical data ): • Deals with descriptions. • Data can be observed but not measured. • (can be subdivided into nominal and ordinal data) • Example:- Gender, Eye color, textures
Discrete data -- Gaps between possible values 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Discrete Data • A quantitative data is discrete if its possible values form a set of separate numbers: 0,1,2,3,…. • Examples: • Number of pets in a household • Number of children in a family • Number of foreign languages spoken by an individual
Continuous data -- Theoretically, no gaps between possible values 0 1000 Continuous Data • A quantitative data is continuous if its possible values form an interval • Measurements • Examples: • Height/Weight • Age • Blood pressure
Qualitative (Categorical) data Nominal data : • A type of categorical data in which objects fall into unorderedcategories. • To classify characteristics of people, objects or events into categories. • Example: Gender (Male / Female). Ordinal data (Ranking scale) : • Characteristics can be put into ordered categories. • Example: Socio-economic status (Low/ Medium/ High).
Which graph to use? • Depends on type of data: • For categorical you will typically use either a bar or pie graph • For quantitative you can use dotplot, stemplot, histogram, boxplot.
Parametric Assumptions • Independent samples • Data normally distributed • Equal variances
RSM Example • In the article “Sealing Strength of Wax-Polyethylene Blends” by Brown, Turner, & Smith, the effects of three process variables (A) seal temperature, (B) cooling bar temperature, & (C) % polyethylene additive on the seal strength y of a bread wrapper stock were studied using a central composite design.
RSM-Regression Analysis (MINITAB) Response Surface Regression: Response versus temp, cooling, polyethylene The analysis was done using uncoded units.
