Crosstabulation

-tabular summary of two variables the two variables can be either categorical or quantitative buy quantitative variables must be converted to categorical by creating intervals

4 options for illegitimately missing data

1. discard observations (rows) that have missing data 2. discard the variable (column) that has missing data 3. fill in missing values with estimated values 4. apply a data mining algorithm capable of dealing with missing values

experiments have three characteristics

1. each experimental trial only has two mutually exclusive outcomes 2. each experimental trial is independent of all other trials 3. The probability of success is constant and therefore the probability of failure is also constant if a trial has all three characteristics then the trial is said to be a bernoulli trial

6 Rules of probability

1. probability must be a number no smaller than 0 & no greater than 1 2. probability of an event is equal to the sum of the probabilities of the elementary outcomes in the event set 3. the sum of the probabilities of the elementary outcomes in the sample space must equal 1. Pr(s) = 1 where s represents the sample space 4. multiplicative rule: Pr (A n B) = Pr (A and B) = Pr (A) Pr (BIA) or Pr(B) Pr(BIA) 5. additive rule: Pr (AuB) = Pr(A or B) = Pr (A) + Pr (B) - Pr (AnB) 6. law of complements: Pr (A) = 1 - Pr(Ac)

use tables to display data when

1. reader needs to refer to specific numerical values 2. reader needs to make precise comparisons between values and not just relative comparisons 3. the values being displayed have different units or very different magnitudes

mutually exclusive or incompatible events

two events A & B are mutually exclusive if the occurrence of one event eliminates the possibility of the other event occurring ex. flipping a coin, & getting heads eliminates the possibility of getting tails on the same flip. if 2 events A & B are mutually exclusive, then the Pr(AIB) = 0 and the Pr (BIA) = 0

independence

two events A & B are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event has NO impact on the probability of the other event occurring Pr(AIB) = Pr (A) if A and B are independent Pr(BIA) = Pr(B) if A and B are independent

independence

two events A and B are independent if: Pr (A I B) = Pr (A) and Pr ( B I A) = Pr (B) You can use this idea to test for independence calculate Pr(A I B) and see if it equals Pr (A) if they are not equal then A & B are not independent

Table design principles

•Avoid using vertical lines in a table unless they are necessary for clarity. •Horizontal lines are generally necessary only for separating column titles from data values or when indicating that a calculation has taken place. -columns of numerical data could generally be right aligned -all numerical values in a column should display the same number of digits to the right of the decimal -text should be left aligned
