Guidelines to Analyze data
 First learn something about the context:
 What was measured?
 What are the units?
 How was the measurement carried out?
 Where the data measured for a particular purpose?
 Then make a picture.
It is sometimes said that there are three rules for starting a
data analysis:
 Plot the data, plot the data, and plot the data.
 Look for an overall pattern and for deviations from that
pattern. Such deviations are called outliers.

2. If we selected a soldier at random from this group, would you
estimate that he or she is more likely to be taller than 65 inches or
shorter than 65 inches? (Hint: No calculation is needed. Judge from

Displaying Categorical Data
Three Rules of Data Analysis: -
 Make a picture – It will reveal things you can not
see on a table and will help you think clearly
 Make a picture – Well designed display will show
the important features and patterns in your data i.e.
missing wrong data or unexpected patterns
 Make Picture –It is the best way to tell others what
about your data.

Principles of Graphical
Excellence
 Well-Designed Presentation of Data that Provides:
 Substance
 Statistics
 Design
 Communicate Complex Ideas with Clarity, Precision
and Efficiency
 Gives the Largest Number of Ideas in the Most
Efficient Manner
 Almost Always Involves Several Dimensions
 Telling the Truth about the Data
© 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Errors in Presenting Data
 Using ‘Chart Junk’
 No Relative Basis in Comparing Data
between Groups
 Compressing the Vertical Axis
 No Zero Point on the Vertical Axis

Displaying Categorical Data Three Rules of Data Analysis: -  Make a picture – It will reveal things you can not see on a table and will help you think clearly  Make a picture – Well designed display will show the important features and patterns in your data i.e. missing wrong data or unexpected patterns  Make Picture –It is the best way to tell others what about your data.
