Copyright © 2005 Department of Computer Science CPSC 641 Winter Data Analysis and Presentation There are many “tricks of the trade” used in data analysis and results presentation A few will be mentioned here: –statistical analysis –multi-variate analysis –ANOVA –graphical/tabular presentation of results

Copyright © 2005 Department of Computer Science CPSC 641 Winter Statistical Analysis “Math and stats can be your friends!!!” CW There are lots of “standard” techniques from mathematics, probability, and statistics that are of immense value in performance work: –confidence intervals, null hypotheses, F-tests, T-tests, linear regression, least-squares fit, maximum likelihood estimation, correlation, time series analysis, transforms, Q-Q, EM... –working knowledge of commonly-observed statistical distributions

Copyright © 2005 Department of Computer Science CPSC 641 Winter Multi-Variate Analysis For in-depth and really messy data analysis, there are multi-variate techniques that can be immensely helpful In many cases, good data visualization tools will tell you a lot (e.g., plotting graphs), but in other cases you might try things like: –multi-variate regression: find out which parameters are relevant or not for curve fitting –ANOVA: analysis of variance can show the parameters with greatest impact on results

Copyright © 2005 Department of Computer Science CPSC 641 Winter Presentation of Results Graphs and tables are the two most common ways of illustrating and/or summarizing data –graphs can show you the trends –tables provide the details There are good ways and bad ways to do each of these Again, it is a bit of an “art”, but there are lots of good tips and guidelines as well

Copyright © 2005 Department of Computer Science CPSC 641 Winter Table Tips Decide if a table is really needed; if so, should it be part of main paper, or just an appendix? Choose formatting software with which you are familiar; easy to import data, export tables Table caption goes at the top Clearly delineate rows and columns (lines) Logically organize rows and columns Report results to several significant digits Be consistent in formatting wherever possible

Copyright © 2005 Department of Computer Science CPSC 641 Winter Graphing Tips (1 of 2) Choose a good software package, preferably one with which you are familiar, and one for which it is easy to import data, export graphs Title at top; caption below (informative) Labels on each axis, including units Logical step sizes along axes (10’s, 100’s…) Make sure choice of scale is clear for each axis (linear, log-linear, log-log) Graph should start from origin (zero) unless there is a compelling reason not to do so

Copyright © 2005 Department of Computer Science CPSC 641 Winter Graphing Tips (2 of 2) Make judicious choice of type of plot –scatter plot, line graph, bar chart, histogram Make judicious choice of line types –solid, dashed, dotted, lines and points, colours If multiple lines on a plot, then use a key, which should be well-placed and informative If graph is “well-behaved”, then organize the key to match the lines on the graph (try it!) Be consistent from one graph to the next wherever possible (size, scale, key, colours)

Copyright © 2005 Department of Computer Science CPSC 641 Winter Summary There are many “tricks of the trade” used in data analysis and presentation A few have been mentioned here Effective data analysis and presentation is important in an effective performance evaluation study Not always easy to do, but it is worth it!
