Outline Research Question: What determines height? Data Input Look at One Variable Compare Two Variables Children’s Height and Parents Height Children’s Height and Gender Graphic Packages: ggplot2
2
What factors are most responsible for height? Outcome = (Model) + Error
3
Galton’s Notebook on Families & Height
4
X1X2X3Y Galton’s Family Height Dataset
5

6
Dataset Input Function Filename Object h <- read.csv("GaltonFamilies.csv")
7
str() summary() Data Types: Numbers and Factors/Categorical
8
Outline One Variable: Univariate Dependent / Outcome Variable Two Variables: Bivariate Outcome and each Predictor All Four Variables: Multivariate
9
Steps Continuous Categorical Histogram Scatter Boxplot Child’s Height Linear Regression Dad’s Height Gender Continuous Y X1, X2 X3 Type Variable Mom’s Height
10
Frequency Distribution, Histogram hist(h$child)
11
Area = 1 Density Plot plot(density(h$childHeight))
12
hist(h$childHeight,freq=F, breaks =25, ylim = c(0,0.14)) curve(dnorm(x, mean=mean(h$childHeight), sd=sd(h$childHeight)), col="red", add=T) Mode, Bimodal

In ggplot2 a plot is made up of layers. ggplot2 Plot Grammar of Graphics Layer -Data - Mapping -Geom -Stat -Postiion Scale Coord Facet
16
ggplot2 library(ggplot2) h.gg <- ggplot(h, aes(child)) h.gg + geom_histogram(binwidth = 1 ) + labs(x = "Height", y = "Frequency") h.gg + geom_density()
17
ggplot2 h.gg <- ggplot(h, aes(child)) + theme(legend.position = "right") h.gg + geom_density() + labs(x = "Height", y = "Frequency") h.gg + geom_density(aes(fill=factor(gender)), size=2)

Correlation and Regression
21
1.Calculate the difference between the mean and each person’s score for the first variable (x). 2.Calculate the difference between the mean and their value for the second variable (y). 3.Multiply these “error” values. 4.Add these values to get the cross product deviations. 5.The covariance is the average of cross-product deviations Covariance
22
Y X Persons 2,3, and 5 look to have similar magnitudes from their means
23
Covariance Calculate the error [deviation] between the mean and each subject’s score for the first variable (x). Calculate the error [deviation] between the mean and their score for the second variable (y). Multiply these error values. Add these values and you get the cross product deviations. The covariance is the average cross-product deviations:
24
Covariance depends upon the units of measurement Normalize the data Divide by the standard deviations of both variables. The standardized version of covariance is known as the correlation coefficient Standardizing the Covariance
25
Correlation ?cor cor(h$father, h$child) 0.2660385
26
Scatterplot Matrix: pairs()
27
Correlations Matrix library(car) scatterplotMatrix(heights)

Box Plot
31
Children’s Height vs. Gender boxplot(h$child~gender,data=h, col=(c("pink","lightblue")), main="Children's Height by Gender", xlab="Gender", ylab="")
32
Descriptive Stats: Box Plot 69.23 64.10 5.13 ======
33
Subset Males men<- subset(h, gender=='male')
34
Subset Females women <- subset(h, gender==‘female')
35
Children’s Height: Males hist(men$childHeight)
36
Children’s Height: Females hist(women$child)
37
ggplot2 library(ggplot2) h.bb <- ggplot(h, aes(factor(gender), child)) h.bb + geom_boxplot() h.bb + geom_boxplot(aes(fill = factor(gender)))
