 Graphs for Categorical values

 What values of the variable have measured


 How often has each value been accrued
 Statistical Table
 A list of the categories being considered along with a measure of how
often each value occured
 Qualitative/Categorical tables are a list of category
 Ways to measure how often each value has occured
 1. Frequency
 2. Relative Frequency
 3. Percentage
 Frequency
 The number of measurements in each category
 Relative Frequency
 The proportion of measurements in each category
 Frequency/n
 Percentage
 Frequency*100
 Graphs for Qquantitative Data
 Line Chart
 Dot Plot
 Stem and Leaf Plot
 Relative Frequency Histogram
 Quantitative Data over time (time-series) should be a line graph
 Dot Plot

 Stem and leaf plots


 Put the numbers in order
 Arrays in R
 Lists in R
 Different data types
 List elements are assesed via a $
 >x<- list(u=2, v=”abc”)
 $u
 $v
 x$u
 Data frame
 A list where each component is a vector corresponding to a column

 Subset command
 subset(data, data$gender==”F”)
 subset(data, data height>140)
