FINAL ASSESSMENT Flashcards
2 types of stats (Analytics)
DESCRIPTIVE - Inform / Explanatory
INFERENTIAL - Predict / Trend
4 Levels of Measurement
NOIR
Nominal
Ordinal
Interval Ration
Continuous data with a Unique Zero point
RATIO
Qualitative objects placed in some type of order
Ordinal
Identify, Group, Categorize
Nominal
OUTLIERS create this type of Error
Out-of-Range
Error the occurs from missing data (space not filled in) = distorted results
Omission Error
Error that REPEATS itself. Leads to skewed results
Systematic Error
The process of Quality Control
Reduce / minimize errors
ALL variable measurements and manipulations are under the Researchers Control
Experimental Study
Impractical or Impossible to control the Conditions of the study
Observational Study
Questions favor an outcome OR if interviewer asks questions that favor an outcome
Information BIAS
Average outcome (Payoff) when future includes scenarios that may or may not happen
EMV Analysis (Expected Monetary Value)
Observation points that are distant from other observation points that can be Included or Excluded in analysis
Outliers Note
Bias that occurs from NOT selecting a Random Sample
Measurement Bias
Bias that introduced from respondents belief that it will be Beneficial if selected
Conscious Bias
The measured distance between the the THIRD and FIRST quartile
IQR (inter-quartile range)
MUST be ordered LOW –> High
Used to STUY the Composition of data set and examine the distribution
Box Plot
Given the PROB of A given PROB of B… can use this to find the P of B given the P of A
Bayes Theorem
MUST know P (A), P (B) and P(A) given B
RULE used then looking for TWO events occurring (AND)
Multiplication
RULE used then looking for One OR the other event happening (OR)
Addition
Simple Regression where Time is the Independent Variable
Time Series
General SLOPE that is UPWARD or DOWNWARD over a Period of Time
Trend
