Skeleton data Estimate age at death from skeletal remains Common problem in forensic anthropology Based on wear and deterioration of certain bones Measurements on 400 skeletons Two estimation methods Di Gangi et al., aspects of the first rib Suchey-Brooks, most common, pubic bone http://www.bestcoloringpagesforkids.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Skeleton-Coloring-Page.gif

Mean
25
Median = -13 Mean = -14.2 Mean is not a robust statistic. Median is a robust statistic. Robust statistic
26
Median = -13 Mean = -14.2 10% trimmed mean … eliminate upper and lower 10% of data (i.e. 40 points). 10% trimmed mean = mean of 320 middle data values = -13.8 Trimmed mean is more robust. Trimmed mean

31
range (variační rozpětí) MAX - min
32
Range Range changes when we add new data into dataset Always Sometimes Never

34
Cut off data IQR, mezikvartilové rozpětí
35
Interquartile range, IQR Let’ take this quiz, answer yes ot not. 1. About 50% of the data fall within the IQR. 2. The IQR is affected by every value in the data set. 3. The IQR is not affected by outliers. 4. The mean is always between Q1 and Q3. 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 90 Q2Q1=1 Q3=3
36
Define outlier Sample $38,946 $43,420 $49,191 $50,430 $50,557 $52,580 $53,595 $54,135 $60,181 $10,000,000 What values are outliers for this data set? 1.$60,000 2.$80,000 3.$100,000 4.$200,000
37
Problem with IQR normal bimodal uniform
38
Options for measuring variability Find the average distance between all pairs of data values. Find the average distance between each data value and either the max or the min. Find the average distance between each data value and the mean.
39
Average distance from mean Sample 10 5 3 2 19 1 7 11 1 1
40
Average distance from mean Sample 10 5 3 2 19 1 7 11 1 1
41
Average distance from mean Sample 104 5 3-3 2-4 1913 1-5 71 115 1-5 1 Find the average distance between each data value and the mean.
42
Preventing cancellation How can we prevent the negative and positive deviations from cancelling each out? 1. Ignore (i.e. delete) the negative sign. 2. Multiply each deviation by two. 3. Square each deviation. 4. Take absolute value of each deviation.
