Statistics:
• The art of sciene
• Collecting, analyzing, presenting and interpreting data
• Providing information to support decision-making
Data matrix:
• Columns = variables
• Rows = observations, elements, cases, subjects
• Each cell = measurement, data point
Types of variables: level of measurement
• Nominal data: categories
• Ordinal data: ordered categories (sport competitions, from unsatisfied to satisfied)
• Interval data: differences between measurements but no true zero
• Ratio data: differences between measurements, true zero exists
, Types of data sets:
• Cross-sectional data
o Survey of cases, all measured at one period of time
• Time-series data
o Variables measured over time (stock prices)
• Panel data
o Combination of both: multiple cases, same variables measured at multiple
time points (every year the same survey)
Sources of data:
• Primary data
• Secondary data
Key statistical concepts:
• Population: the group of all items/cases of interest
• Sample: the group of items/cases drawn from the population
