Topic 1 Introduction to data

1. Introductory concepts and vocabulary Four basic concepts: Data set Unit of observation Variable Variable types

Data Set Data is typically organized in a data table or data matrix (data set), that is made up of rows and columns. Rows in a data set are the units on which information is gathered. Columns are the variables or the pieces of information that are gathered about each unit.

Example: Dataset on movies Name Genre Budget Studio Audience 50/50 C 8 Ind 93 Warrior A 25 LG Harry Potter F 125 WB The help D DW 91 Money ball 50 Col 89 Legend: C – Comedy, A - A ction , F – Fantasy, D – Documentary Source: www.informationisbeautiful.net

Unit of observation 50/50 C 8 Ind 93 Warrior A 25 LG Harry Potter F Name Genre Budget Studio Audience 50/50 C 8 Ind 93 Warrior A 25 LG Harry Potter F 125 WB The help D DW 91 Money ball 50 Col 89 The movie is our unit of analysis (unit of observation)
