12: Categorical Data

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 12.1: Stem-and-Leaf Graphs (Stemplots), Line Graphs, and Bar Graphs
    A stem-and-leaf plot is a way to plot data and look at the distribution, where all data values within a class are visible. The advantage in a stem-and-leaf plot is that all values are listed, unlike a histogram, which gives classes of data values. A line graph is often used to represent a set of data values in which a quantity varies with time. These graphs are useful for finding trends.  A bar graph is a chart that uses either horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories.
  • 12.2: Test of Independence
    Tests of independence involve using a contingency table of observed (data) values. The test statistic for a test of independence is similar to that of a goodness-of-fit test.
