1. Introduction 

⑴ probability and Statistics

① probability: a mathematical and theoretical study of possibilities

② Statistics: the study of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, or expressing data

○ probability and statistics are similar but clearly different

③ descriptive Statistics: statistical technique that summarizes and describes data

④ inference Statistics: statistical techniques that calculate the probability of a value occurring beyond the summary of numbers

⑵ the meaning of probability

① Frequentist

○ claims that probability is an intrinsic attribute of an object

○ example: a coin is an object that has a half probability at the front and the back

② Bayesianist 

○ claims that probability is nothing but human belief

○ example: investigating the frequency of the front and back of a coin does not really prove that each frequency is one-half

⑶ trends in Statistics

① major issues in classical Statistics: finding distribution, increasing power

② major issues in modern Statistics: big data, machine learning



2. Basic statistical terminology 

⑴ average (mean)

⑵ most frequent number (mode)

⑶ central value (median)

① the value in the middle in order: both sides should be equal in width relative to the median in the probability distribution

② less sensitive to changes in distribution than average


drawing
Figure 1. mean (left) and median (right)


○ only change at the right-hand part of the median changes cannot change median value

○ thus, the median value is less sensitive 

○ unexpectedly, many people do not know



3. Definition of data

⑴ data, information, and knowledge

① data : given data

② information : Name of the data

③ knowledge: The relationship between information and information

⑵ types of datasets

① relation

② tree

③ network

⑶ type of attribute

class 1. continuous type data: quantitative data 

1-1. ratio scale (ratio scale): 1st-ranked scale

○ absolute zero + same interval + rank + category

○ concept of ratio between scales can be established

○ absolute zero exists: no negative concept

○ example: absolute temperature

1-2. interval scale (interval scale): second-order scale

○ same interval + rank + category

○ the concept of ratio between scales cannot be established

○ no absolute zero: negative concept exists

○ example : Celsius temperature, Fahrenheit temperature

class 2. categorical data: qualitative data

2-1. ordinal scale

○ rank + category

○ the intervals cannot be said to be equal to each other: quantification and averaging are impossible

○ example : 2 students in 3rd grade and 2 students in 1st grade cannot be considered as 2 students in 2nd grade on average

2-2. nominal scale (categorical scale)

○ category: same as name for each material

○ example: gender, blood type

⑷ attribute semantics

① spatial : quantitative 

② temporal : quantitative

③ sequential : ordinal

④ diverging : quantitative

⑤ cyclic : categorical, ordinal, quantitative

⑥ hierarchical: categorical 



4. Visualization of data

⑴ classification of analysis

frequency analysis: An analysis that identifies the characteristics of a distribution for one categorical variable

cross analysis: an analysis that identifies the characteristics of the combination distribution for two or more categorical variables. it is able to analyze independence and relevance

⑵ advantageous forms of expression according to data types: the more advantageous the data type is at higher

○ length 

○ angle

○ slope

○ area

③ extended line chart: area chart (≒ stacked line chart), etc

④ extended scatter plot: bubble chart (cf. point size also can be a variable), etc

⑤ symbol map: spatial (2D) + quantitative (1D)

class 3. representation of multidimensional information

① faceting: expressing two or three dimensional information for each parameter. multiple types of graphs are produced

② Chernoff face 

③ star plot: also called as spider plot, radar chart, cobweb chart, or polar chart
