# Introduction to Statistics 统计学概论

What is statistics? 什么是统计?
Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation of data.
统计学是对数据的收集、组织、分析和解释的研究。

# Basics of statistics 统计学基础

Population 人群
the entire group of individuals that we want information about.
我们想要了解的整个个人群体。
Sample 样本
a part of the population that we actually examine in order to gather information about the whole population.
我们实际检查的一部分人口,以收集有关整个人口的信息。

# Types of statistics 统计类型

Descriptive statistics 描述性统计
utilizes numerical and graphical methods to look for patterns in a data set, to summarize the information revealed in a data set, and to present the information in a convenient form.
利用数值和图形方法在数据集中寻找模式,总结数据集中揭示的信息,并以方便的形式呈现信息。
Inferential statistics 推论统计
use a fact about a sample to estimate the truth about the whole population.
使用关于样本的事实来估计关于整个总体的真相。

# Descriptive Statistics 描述性统计

General two types of data:
一般有两种类型的数据:

Qualitative data 定性数据
observations that cannot be measured on a numerical scale. They can only be classified into one of a group of categories.
无法在数字尺度上测量的观察结果。它们只能归入一组类别中的一个。
Example: species of fish, eye color, marital status etc.
例如:鱼的种类、眼睛颜色、婚姻状况等。
Quantitative data 定量数据
measurements that are recorded on a naturally occurring numerical scale.
以自然发生的数字标度记录的测量值。
Example: height of person, score of test, etc.
例如:人的身高、考试成绩等。

# Numerical Methods 数值方法

  • Consider a quantitative dataset with nn observations, denoted as {x1,,xn}\{x_1,\cdots,x_n\}.
    定义一个定量数据集n={x1,,xn}n = \{ x_1, \cdots ,x_n \}

# Location Measures 位置测量

Sample Mean 样本均值
arithmetic average, denoted by xˉ\bar{x}
算术平均值,用 xˉ\bar{x} 表示。
The corresponding population parameter is population mean, denoted by μ\mu.
对应的总体参数为总体均值,表示为μ\mu

xˉ=x1++xnn=1ni=1nxi=1nxi\bar{x} = \frac{x_1+\cdots+x_n}{n} = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i=\frac{1}{n}\sum x_i

Sample median 样本中位数
middle number when the observations are arranged in ascending order, noted by x~\tilde{x}.
当观测值按升序排列时的中间数,记为 x~\tilde{x}

x~={x(n+1)/2,ifnis odd,12(xn/2+xn/2+1),ifnis even.\tilde{x} = \begin{cases} x_{(n+1)/2}, & \text{ if } n \text{ is odd,} \\ \frac{1}{2}(x_{n/2} + x_{n/2+1}), & \text{ if } n \text{ is even.} \end{cases}

Median is less sensitive than mean to extremely large or small observations, which is good.
中值对极大或极小的观察值不如均值敏感。
For example, a dataset {3,0,4}\{-3,0,4\}, the sample mean is 1/31/3 and the sample median is 00.
例如,一个数据集 {3,0,4}\{-3,0,4\}样本均值1/31/3样本中位数00.
If the observation 4 is changed to 18, then the sample mean becomes 55, while the sample median stays unchanged as 00.
如果将值 4 更改为 18,则样本均值变为55,而样本中位数保持不变仍为 00.

# Variability Measures 变异性度量

Sample range 样本范围
measure of variability, xmaxxminx_{\max} -x_{\min}
可变性的度量
Sample variance 样本方差
measure of variability, spread out, denoted by s2s^2
变异性的度量,分布,用 s2s^2 表示
The corresponding population parameter is population variance, denoted as σ2\sigma^2.
对应的总体参数为总体方差,记为 σ2\sigma^2

s2=(x1xˉ)2++(xnxˉ)2n1=i=1n(xixˉ)2n1s^2 = \frac{(x_1-\bar{x})^2+\cdots+(x_n-\bar{x})^2}{n-1} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}

Sample standard deviation 样本标准差
s=s2s = \sqrt{s^2}, common way for measuring how far observations are away from the mean.
测量观测值与均值相差多远的常用方法。
The corresponding population parameter is the population standard deviation, denoted as σ\sigma.
对应的总体参数为总体标准差,记为 σ\sigma.

# 使用 R 来计算

  • Consider a tiny dataset with three observations 0, 1 and 5. Find the sample mean, sample median, sample variance, and sample standard deviation.
    考虑一个包含三个观测值 0、1 和 5 的小数据集。找出样本均值、样本中值、样本方差和样本标准差。

    xˉ=(0+1+5)/3=2\bar{x} = (0+1+5)/3 = 2

    x~=1\tilde{x} = 1

    s2=131[(02)2+(12)2+(51)2]=4+1+931=7s^2 = \frac{1}{3-1}\left[(0-2)^2+(1-2)^2+(5-1)^2\right] = \frac{4+1+9}{3-1} = 7

    s=7s = \sqrt{7}

  • Use var to find the variance of one attribute Petal.Width .
    使用 var 找到属性 Petal.Width 的方差。

    variance
    # Generate variance for numeric attributes

    • The class intervals in the frequency table form the scale of the horizontal axis.
      频率表中的类间隔形成了横轴的刻度。

    • A vertical bar is placed over each class interval, with height equal to either the class frequency or class relative frequency.
      在每个班级间隔上放置一个垂直条,其高度等于班级频率或班级相对频率。

    • Used to plot the density of the data
      用于绘制数据的密度

  • How to plot histogram in R? Use the function hist . The following is a histogram of Petal.Width in iris dataset.
    如何在 R 中绘制直方图?使用函数 hist 。下面是直方图 Petal.Widthiris 数据集。

    irisHisto
    #Histogram of Petal Width with 10 bins
    hist(iris$Petal.Width, breaks = seq(0,2.5,l=11),col = "blue", main = "Histogram of Petal Width",xlab="Petal Width")

    irisHisto
    #Histogram of Petal Width with 20 bins
    hist(iris$Petal.Width, breaks = seq(0,2.5,l=21),col = "blue", main = "Histogram of Petal Width",xlab="Petal Width")

    third quartile Q3/75th Percentile 第三四分位数
    the middle value between the median and the highest value (not the “maximum”) of the dataset.
    数据集的中位数和最大值(不是 “最大值”)之间的中间值。
    interquartile range IQR 四分位距
    25th to the 75th percentile.
    第 25 到第 75 个百分位数。
    “maximum”
    Q3+1.5IQRQ3 + 1.5*IQR
    “minimum”
    Q11.5IQRQ1 -1.5*IQR
  • Use the boxplot function to create a boxplot of Petal Width.
    使用 boxplot 函数创建花瓣宽度的箱线图。

    boxplot(iris$Petal.Width, horizontal = TRUE)

  • par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) creates a grid of size 1x2 for plots; it divides the plot area into a grid so you see several plots on the same page as opposed to separately. Try changing the 1 and the 2 to something else!
    par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) 为绘图创建一个大小为 1x2 的网格;它将绘图区域划分为一个网格,因此你可以在同一页面上看到多个绘图,而不是单独显示。尝试将 1 和 2 更改为其他内容!

    par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
    boxplot(iris$Sepal.Length)
    boxplot(iris$Sepal.Width)
    abline(h = min(iris$Sepal.Width), col = "Blue")
    abline(h = max(iris$Sepal.Width), col = "Yellow")
    abline(h = median(iris$Sepal.Width), col = "Green")
    abline(h = quantile(iris$Sepal.Width, c(0.25, 0.75)), col = "Red")
