This chapter discusses data exploration techniques including preparing data for analysis through data reduction, coding, and descriptive statistics. Graphic and descriptive techniques are used to summarize and describe data numerically and graphically. Common graphs discussed are frequency distributions, scatterplots, line graphs, bar graphs, and box-and-whisker plots which can show relationships between variables and the distribution of data. Checks for invalid, missing, and outlier data are recommended before conducting inferential statistical analyses.

Unit III - Statistical Process Control (SPC)Dr.Raja R
The seven tools of quality – Statistical Fundamentals – Measures of central Tendency and Dispersion, Population and Sample, Normal Curve, Control Charts for variables Xbar and R chart and attributes P, nP, C, and u charts, Industrial Examples, Process capability, Concept of six sigma – New seven Management tools.
Use of Excel in Statistics: Problem Solving Vs Problem UnderstandingIJITE
MS-Excel’s statistical features and functions are traditionally used in solving problems in a statistics class.
Carefully designed problems around these can help a student visualize the working of statistical concepts
such as Hypothesis testing or Confidence Interval.
The presentation is about basic statistical techniques and how statistics can be used effectively in the quality control and process control. It also presents statistical package Minitab version 16 and some of its applications in the field of statistical process control.

and Descriptive Techniques
2. Preparing Data for Analysis
Once the data is collected:
Put the data into a summary data sheet.
Do preliminary statistics and plots.
Check for invalid data
Check for missing data
Check for wild data
Describe data numerically.
Describe data graphically.
Perform inferential statistics.
3. Data Reduction
Process of transcribing data from individual
data sheets to a summary form or data file.
4. Data Reduction
謄錄到資料表
Contain all the data in a matrix format
Rows indicated subjects
Columns indicate variables
上頁案例 :
某一教授開設 ES 課程,有兩個班級,分別是
早上 8 點、 11 點上課,他每門課考了 2 次考試
,每次考試總分為 20 分。他要分析這兩個班級
考試成績差異。
5. Coding Guide
List that specifies the variables of the study,
columns that the variables occupy in the data
file, and their possible values.
Located either on summary form, in notebook,
or both!
16. Measures of Central Tendency
Descriptive statistic that is the average of the
distribution.
Mode = Most common score
Median = Middlemost score
Mean = Sum of all the scores divided by
the number of scores.
17. Measures of Central Tendency
中位數
不受到其他值與中位數之差距,只在乎高於、
低於中位數之個數
平均數
對於極端質敏感
18. Measures of Variability
Range
Highest score – Lowest score
Percentile
Score below which a certain number of cases in a
distribution fall
Interquartile Range
75th
percentile – 25th
percentile
Q3 – Q1
Semi-interquartile range
(Q3 – Q1)/2
21. Most Common Measures of
Variability
Variance
Average of the squared deviations from the
mean.
Standard Deviation
Square root of the variance.
24. Table, Graph
Help us summarize data and understand the
relationships between variables.
A picture is worth a thousand words
表 :
水平軸— X 軸,常呈現自變數值
垂直軸— Y 軸,常呈現依變數值
25. Frequency Table
The professor wants to see how many people
earned each test score.
26. Frequency Distribution
Graph that shows how many scores fall into
particular bins, or divisions of the variable
Histogram
28. The Shape of Distributions

A
mode = median=mean
B (left skew)
mode __ median__mean
C (right skew)
mode __ median__mean
30. Cumulative Frequency Distribution
a = Normal Curve
b = Positively Skewed
c = Negatively Skewed
A frequency distribution that
shows the number if scores
that fall at or below a certain
score
31. Scattergram
A graph showing the responses of a
number of individuals on two variables;
visual display of correlational data
32. Scattergram
Often used with correlation coefficient
A correlation is a statistic indicating the
strength of the relationship between two
variables
Prediction of one of the variables can be
achieved with regression
33. Correlation Coefficient
Measures strength of association between variables.
Does NOT indicate causation
Most commonly used is Pearson’s r
Value is between – 1.0 and +1.0
Scattergram of Paired Values of x and y; (a) r = +1.00, (b) r=−1.00, (c) r = 0.50, (d) r = 0, and (e) r = 0
34. Correlation Coefficient
Correlation
Less than 0.2: weak
0.2-0.4: moderately weak
0.4-0.6: moderate
0.6-0.8: moderately strong
0.8-1: strong
Pearson correlation coefficient is a measure of a linear
(straight-line) function.
It can not reflect the curvilinear relationship
35. Regression
Predicting the value of one variable from
another from the equation for a line
Slope of the line (m) reflects
Correlation
Scale of measurement for the two variables
Squaring the correlation (determination
coefficient) yields a goodness of fit measure
37. Line Graph
A graphical representation using lines to show
relationships between quantitative variables
Y-axis is the dependent variable
X-axis is the independent variable
39. Frequency Data and Graphs
Test Score as a Function of Class Membership
Frequency Distribution of Test Scores by
Class Membership
40. Time Series Graph
X-axis represents the passage of time
Time-Series Graph Cumulative Record
41. Indicating Variability
Error Bars
Vertical lines above and below each point or
bar on a graph that show +/- one standard
deviation from the mean.
42. Box and Whisker Plot
Graph based on median and percentiles rather than mean
and standard deviation.
43. Box and Whisker Plot

44. Checking for Problem Data
Invalid Data
Outside the range of possible values
Find and correct
Missing Data
Empty cells
If necessary, replace with code
Outliers
Possible, but improbable answers
Check to see if they are different enough to
remove
45. Style Guide for Figures
Be clear
Use black ink
Label both axes
Label units of measurement
Provide a caption for the figure
Beware of chartjunk (parts that aren’t
necessary to understand the chart)
