The document discusses various measures of central tendency, including the mean, median, and weighted mean. It explains how to calculate the arithmetic mean of a data set by summing all values and dividing by the number of values. The mean works for vector data by taking the mean of each dimension separately. However, the mean can be overly influenced by outliers. Alternatively, the median is not influenced by outliers, as it is the middle value of the data when sorted. The document provides examples to illustrate these concepts for measuring central tendency.
This document discusses representing data as vectors. It explains that vectors are simply sets of numbers, and gives examples of representing human body measurements and image pixels as vectors of various dimensions. Higher-dimensional vectors can be used to encode complex data like images, time series, and survey responses. Visualizing vectors in coordinate systems becomes more abstract in higher dimensions. The key point is that vectors provide a unified way to represent diverse types of data.
This document discusses using linear algebra concepts to analyze data. It explains that vectors can be used to represent data, with each component of the vector corresponding to a different attribute or variable. The amount of each attribute in the data is equivalent to the component value. Vectors can be decomposed into the sum of their components multiplied by basis vectors, and recomposed using those values. This relationship allows the amount of each attribute to be calculated using the inner product of the vector and basis vector. So linear algebra provides a powerful framework for understanding and analyzing complex, multi-dimensional data.
The document discusses pattern recognition and classification. It begins by defining pattern recognition as a method for determining what something is based on data like images, audio, or text. It then provides examples of common types of pattern recognition like image recognition and speech recognition. It notes that while pattern recognition comes easily to humans, it can be difficult for computers which lack abilities like unconscious, high-speed, high-accuracy recognition. The document then discusses the basic principle of computer-based pattern recognition as classifying inputs into predefined classes based on their similarity to training examples.
1. The document discusses principal component analysis (PCA) and explains how it can be used to determine the "true dimension" of vector data distributions.
2. PCA works by finding orthogonal bases (principal components) that best describe the variance in high-dimensional data, with the first principal component accounting for as much variance as possible.
3. The lengths of the principal component vectors indicate their importance, with longer vectors corresponding to more variance in the data. Analyzing the variances of the principal components can provide insight into the shape of the distribution and its true dimension.
The document discusses distances between data and similarity measures in data analysis. It introduces the concept of distance between data as a quantitative measure of how different two data points are, with smaller distances indicating greater similarity. Distances are useful for tasks like clustering data, detecting anomalies, data recognition, and measuring approximation errors. The most common distance measure, Euclidean distance, is explained for vectors of any dimension using the concept of norm from geometry. Caution is advised when calculating distances between data with differing scales.
This document provides an introduction to probability and probability distributions for data analysis. It explains that probability, like histograms, can help understand how data is distributed. Probability distributions describe the "easiness" or likelihood that a random variable takes on a particular value, and can be discrete (for a finite number of possible values) or continuous (for infinite possible values). Key probability distributions like the normal distribution are fundamental to many statistical analyses and machine learning techniques. Understanding probability distributions allows expressing data distributions with mathematical formulas parameterized by a few values.
This document discusses multi-variable data and multi-variable analysis in statistics. It defines multi-variable data as data represented by combinations of two or more variables. It explains that multi-variable analysis examines relationships between variables, such as whether higher scores on one variable tend to be associated with higher or lower scores on another variable, using correlation and regression analysis. It also introduces scatter plots as a way to visually represent multi-variable data by plotting the values of two variables.

This document discusses statistical inference and random sampling. It explains that fully examining all data in a population is often impossible due to cost and time constraints. Therefore, statistical inference involves randomly sampling a portion of the population and using that sample to infer properties of the entire population. Random sampling helps ensure the sample is representative of the population, though random chance could still result in a non-representative sample. The key idea of statistical inference is randomly drawing samples from a population, like drawing lots, to learn about the overall population.
The document discusses predictive modeling and regression analysis using data. It explains that predictive modeling involves collecting data, creating a predictive model by fitting the model to the data, and then using the model to predict outcomes for new input data. Regression analysis specifically aims to model relationships between input and output variables in data to enable predicting outputs for new inputs. The document provides examples of using linear regression to predict exam scores from study hours, and explains that the goal in model fitting is to minimize the sum of squared errors between predicted and actual output values in the data.
This document appears to be lecture notes for a statistics class being taught in spring 2021 at Kansai University. It discusses hypothesis testing and constructing confidence intervals. Specifically, it covers how to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean of a normal population when the population variance is unknown, using a t-distribution and t-statistic. Formulas and steps are provided for determining the boundary values of the confidence interval based on the t-distribution and degrees of freedom.
This document discusses statistical concepts like inferential statistics, normal distributions, z-scores, t-scores, standardization, and correlations. Some key points covered include:
1. Inferential statistics helps determine if observations from a sample represent the population. It assumes the sample is similar to the population and follows a normal distribution.
2. Z-scores and t-scores are used to standardize scores from different distributions to allow comparisons. Standardization converts scores to distance from the mean in standard deviation units.
3. Scatter plots show relationships between two variables and can suggest correlations. A line of best fit indicates the direction of the relationship, whether positive or negative. Covariance and correlation coefficients measure the strength
- The document is a lecture on statistical inference from the spring 2021 semester at Kansai University.
- It discusses estimating the mean of a population by taking samples and calculating confidence intervals around the sample mean to infer what the true population mean is likely to be.
- Specifically, it explains how taking multiple samples and calculating their average results in a distribution of sample means centered around the true population mean, even though the true mean is unknown. This allows establishing a range or interval that has a high probability of containing the population mean.
An assessment of the the BER's manufacturing survey in South AfricaGeorge Kershoff
This document analyzes the impact of weight adjustment on the accuracy of business tendency survey (BTS) results in South Africa. It compares BTS results calculated using only firm and sector weights to results calculated with additional ex post weight adjustment. Weight adjustment accounts for non-responses by increasing weights of respondents. The correlation between adjusted-weight results and a reference series is lower than for unadjusted-weight results, suggesting weight adjustment does not improve accuracy. This finding supports the BER's current weighting methodology and indicates BTS results are robust to weighting methods when a business register is unavailable.
This document outlines a lesson on measuring central tendency. The lesson is one hour and involves reviewing measures of central tendency like mean, median, and mode. Students will work through three case studies calculating these measures and discussing their strengths and limitations. Assessments will evaluate students' ability to calculate the measures and understand how they are affected by changes in data. The lesson aims to help students calculate common measures of central tendency, interpret them, and discuss their limitations.

BUS308 – Week 1 Lecture 2
Describing Data
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. Basic descriptive statistics for data location
2. Basic descriptive statistics for data consistency
3. Basic descriptive statistics for data position
4. Basic approaches for describing likelihood
5. Difference between descriptive and inferential statistics
What this lecture covers
This lecture focuses on describing data and how these descriptions can be used in an
analysis. It also introduces and defines some specific descriptive statistical tools and results.
Even if we never become a data detective or do statistical tests, we will be exposed and
bombarded with statistics and statistical outcomes. We need to understand what they are telling
us and how they help uncover what the data means on the “crime,” AKA research question/issue.
How we obtain these results will be covered in lecture 1-3.
Detecting
In our favorite detective shows, starting out always seems difficult. They have a crime,
but no real clues or suspects, no idea of what happened, no “theory of the crime,” etc. Much as
we are at this point with our question on equal pay for equal work.
The process followed is remarkably similar across the different shows. First, a case or
situation presents itself. The heroes start by understanding the background of the situation and
those involved. They move on to collecting clues and following hints, some of which do not pan
out to be helpful. They then start to build relationships between and among clues and facts,
tossing out ideas that seemed good but lead to dead-ends or non-helpful insights (false leads,
etc.). Finally, a conclusion is reached and the initial question of “who done it” is solved.
Data analysis, and specifically statistical analysis, is done quite the same way as we will
see.
Descriptive Statistics
Week 1 Clues
We are interested in whether or not males and females are paid the same for doing equal
work. So, how do we go about answering this question? The “victim” in this question could be
considered the difference in pay between males and females, specifically when they are doing
equal work. An initial examination (Doc, was it murder or an accident?) involves obtaining
basic information to see if we even have cause to worry.
The first action in any analysis involves collecting the data. This generally involves
conducting a random sample from the population of employees so that we have a manageable
data set to operate from. In this case, our sample, presented in Lecture 1, gave us 25 males and
25 females spread throughout the company. A quick look at the sample by HR provided us with
assurance that the group looked representative of the company workforce we are concerned with
as a whole. Now we can confidently collect clues to see if we should be concerned or not.
As with any detective, the first issue is to understand the.

The document provides details about an MBA team called "Art of War" including the team leader's name, email, and mobile number. It then discusses using SPSS software to analyze placement data from an MBA batch. Key findings from the SPSS analysis include that work experience is the most important factor for placements and that MBA percentage has a negative effect. The document proposes ideas like 1-day internships, an online student portfolio, and business simulations to help address student problems and improve the placement process.
This document appears to be lecture slides for a statistics class discussing interval estimation when measurements are uncertain. It covers calculating variance and standard deviation from a sample, which are used to determine a confidence interval for the true population mean when the population is assumed to be normally distributed. The slides provide an example of determining a 95% confidence interval for a population mean based on a sample. They discuss using the sample variance as an estimate for the unknown population variance in such calculations.
This document provides an overview of various techniques for visualizing and summarizing numerical data, including scatterplots, dot plots, histograms, the mean, median, variance, standard deviation, percentiles, box plots, and transformations. It discusses how these metrics and visualizations can be used to describe the center, spread, shape, and outliers of distributions.
USE OF EXCEL IN STATISTICS: PROBLEM SOLVING VS PROBLEM UNDERSTANDINGIJITE
ABSTRACT
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
KEYWORDS
MS Excel, Data Analysis,Hypothesis Testing, Confidence Interval
Use of Excel in Statistics: Problem Solving Vs Problem UnderstandingIJITE
This document discusses using Microsoft Excel to help students better understand statistical concepts rather than just solve problems. It presents exercises using Excel functions to visualize probability distributions, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. For example, the normal distribution can be demystified by using Excel to generate normal distribution tables from the NORM.S.DIST function. Sampling and the central limit theorem are illustrated by generating random samples from a population and calculating sample means and standard deviations. Confidence intervals and hypothesis testing are demonstrated on sample data where the population is known. The goal is for students to intuitively understand the statistical concepts behind techniques rather than just using tools to solve pre-made problems.

Matching it up: working arrangements and job satisfactionGRAPE
We leverage the flexibility enactment theory to study empirically the link between working arrangements and job satisfaction. We provide novel insights on the match between the individual inclination to work in non-standard working arrangements and the factual conditions of employment. We thus reconcile the earlier literature, which found both positive and negative effects of non-standard employment on job satisfaction. Using data from the European Working Conditions Survey we characterize the extent of mismatch between individual inclination and factual working arrangements. We provide several novel results. First, the extent of mismatch is substantial and reallocating workers between jobs could substantially boost overall job satisfaction in European countries. Second, the mismatch more frequently plagues women and parents. Finally, we demonstrate that the extent of mismatch is heterogeneous across countries, which shows that one-size-fits-all policies are not likely to maximize the happiness of workers, whether flexibility is increased or reduced.
Intergenerational mobility, intergenerational effects, the role of family background, and equality of opportunity: a comparison of four approaches
Anders Björklund
SOFI, Stockholm University
SITE, Stockholm, September 2, 2014
This document provides an overview of a workshop that demonstrates how to use Microsoft Excel and the Real Statistics add-in to perform statistical analysis and descriptive statistics. It discusses concepts like mean, standard deviation, and normal distribution. It then walks through examples of calculating the mean and standard deviation of student performance data in mathematics, and generating a histogram and normal distribution curve of those scores. The goal is to help teachers better understand and apply basic statistical and descriptive analysis in their research.
This document discusses non-structured data analysis, focusing on image data. It defines structured and non-structured data, with images, text, and audio given as examples of non-structured data. Images are described as high-dimensional vectors that are generated from analog to digital conversion via sampling and quantization. Various types of image data and analysis tasks are introduced, including image recognition, computer vision, feature extraction and image compression. Image processing techniques like filtering and binarization are also briefly covered.
This document introduces artificial intelligence (AI) and discusses examples of AI being used in everyday life. It defines AI as machines that mimic human intelligence, and notes most current AI is specialized or "weak AI" that can only perform specific tasks rather than general human-level intelligence. Examples discussed include voice recognition, chatbots, facial recognition, image recognition for medical diagnosis, recommendation systems, AI in games like Go, and applications in business like sharing economies and customer monitoring.
This document discusses clustering and anomaly detection in data science. It introduces the concept of clustering, which is grouping a set of data into clusters so that data within each cluster are more similar to each other than data in other clusters. The k-means clustering algorithm is described in detail, which works by iteratively assigning data to the closest cluster centroid and updating the centroids. Other clustering algorithms like k-medoids and hierarchical clustering are also briefly mentioned. The document then discusses how anomaly detection, which identifies outliers in data that differ from expected patterns, can be performed based on measuring distances between data points. Examples applications of anomaly detection are provided.

Ethical Frameworks for Trustworthy AI – Opportunities for Researchers in Huma...Karim Baïna
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping societies and raising complex ethical, legal, and geopolitical questions. This talk explores the foundations and limits of Trustworthy AI through the lens of global frameworks such as the EU’s HLEG guidelines, UNESCO’s human rights-based approach, OECD recommendations, and NIST’s taxonomy of AI security risks.
We analyze key principles like fairness, transparency, privacy, robustness, and accountability — not only as ideals, but in terms of their practical implementation and tensions. Special attention is given to real-world contexts such as Morocco’s deployment of 4,000 intelligent cameras and the country’s positioning in AI readiness indexes. These examples raise critical issues about surveillance, accountability, and ethical governance in the Global South.
Rather than relying on standardized terms or ethical "checklists", this presentation advocates for a grounded, interdisciplinary, and context-aware approach to responsible AI — one that balances innovation with human rights, and technological ambition with social responsibility.
This rich Trustworthy and Responsible AI frameworks context is a serious opportunity for Human and Social Sciences Researchers : either operate as gatekeepers, reinforcing existing ethical constraints, or become revolutionaries, pioneering new paradigms that redefine how AI interacts with society, knowledge production, and policymaking ?

Understanding Tree Data Structure and Its ApplicationsM Munim
A Tree Data Structure is a widely used hierarchical model that represents data in a parent-child relationship. It starts with a root node and branches out to child nodes, forming a tree-like shape. Each node can have multiple children but only one parent, except for the root which has none. Trees are efficient for organizing and managing data, especially when quick searching, inserting, or deleting is needed. Common types include **binary trees**, **binary search trees (BST)**, **heaps**, and **tries**. A binary tree allows each node to have up to two children, while a BST maintains sorted order for fast lookup. Trees are used in various applications like file systems, databases, compilers, and artificial intelligence. Traversal techniques such as preorder, inorder, postorder, and level-order help in visiting all nodes systematically. Trees are fundamental to many algorithms and are essential for solving complex computational problems efficiently.
