Chap 3 Data Analytics Using R
This chapter has three sections
An overview of R
Using R to perform exploratory data analysis tasks using visualization
A brief review of statistical inference
Hypothesis testing and analysis of variance
2
3.1 Introduction to R
Generic R functions are functions that share the same name but behave differently depending on the type of arguments they receive (polymorphism)
Some important functions used in this chapter (most are generic)
head() displays first six records of a file
summary() generates descriptive statistics
plot() can generate a scatter plot of one variable against another
lm() applies a linear regression model between two variables
hist() generates a histogram
help() provides details of a function

3.1 Introduction to R Example: number of orders vs sales
lm(formula = (sales$sales_total ~ sales$num_of_orders)
intercept = -154.1 slope = 166.2

summary(), mean(), median(), sd()
5
3.1.1 Getting R and RStudio
Download R and install (32-bit and 64-bit)
R-3.5.1 for Windows (32/64 bit)
https://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/windows/base/R-3.5.1-win.exe
Download RStudio and install
6
3.1.1 RStudio GUI

3.2 Exploratory Data Analysis Scatterplots show possible relationships
x <- rnorm(50) # default is mean=0, sd=1
y <- x + rnorm(50, mean=0, sd=0.5)
plot(y,x)

3.2 Exploratory Data Analysis
3.2.1 Visualization before Analysis
3.2.2 Dirty Data
3.2.3 Visualizing a Single Variable
3.2.4 Examining Multiple Variables
3.2.5 Data Exploration versus Presentation
9
3.2.1 Visualization before Analysis Anscombe’s quartet – 4 datasets, same statistics
should be x
10
3.2.1 Visualization before Analysis Anscombe’s quartet – visualized
11
3.2.1 Visualization before Analysis Anscombe’s quartet – Rstudio exercise
Enter and plot Anscombe’s dataset #3
and obtain the linear regression line
More regression coming in chapter 6
)
x <- 4:14
x
y <- c(5.39,5.73,6.08,6.42,6.77,7.11,7.46,7.81,8.15,12.74,8.84)
y
summary(x)
var(x)
summary(y)
var(y)
plot(y~x)
lm(y~x)

3.2.2 Dirty Data Age Distribution of bank account holders
What is wrong here?
13
3.2.2 Dirty Data Age of Mortgage
What is wrong here?
14
3.2.3 Visualizing a Single Variable Example Visualization Functions
15
3.2.3 Visualizing a Single Variable Dotchart – MPG of Car Models
16
3.2.3 Visualizing a Single Variable Barplot – Distribution of Car Cylinder Counts
17
3.2.3 Visualizing a Single Variable Histogram – Income
18
3.2.3 Visualizing a Single Variable Density – Income (log10 scale)
19
In this case, the log density plot emphasizes the log nature of the distribution
The rug() function at the bottom creates a one-dimensional density plot to emphasize the distribution
3.2.3 Visualizing a Single Variable Density – Income (log10 scale)
20
3.2.3 Visualizing a Single Variable Density plots – Diamond prices, log of same
21
3.2.4 Examining Multiple Variables Examining two variables with regression
22
3.2.4 Examining Multiple Variables Dotchart: MPG of car models grouped by cylinder
23
3.2.4 Examining Multiple Variables Barplot: visualize multiple variables
24
3.2.4 Examining Multiple Variables Box-and-whisker plot: income versus region
Box contains central 50% of data
Line inside box is median value
Shows data quartiles
25
3.2.4 Examining Multiple Variables Scatterplot (a) & Hexbinplot – income vs education
The hexbinplot combines the ideas of scatterplot and histogram
For high volume data hexbinplot may be better than scatterplot
26
3.2.4 Examining Multiple Variables Matrix of Scatterplots
27
3.2.4 Examining Multiple Variables Variable over time – airline passenger counts
28
Data visualization for data exploration is different from presenting results to stakeholders
Data scientists prefer graphs that are technical in nature
Nontechnical stakeholders prefer simple, clear graphics that focus on the message rather than the data
3.2.5 Exploration vs Presentation
29
3.2.5 Exploration vs Presentation Density plots better for data scientists
30
3.2.5 Exploration vs Presentation Histograms better to show stakeholders
31
Model Building
What are the best input variables for the model?
Can the model predict the outcome given the input?
Model Evaluation
Is the model accurate?
Does the model perform better than an obvious guess?
Does the model perform better than other models?
Model Deployment
Is the prediction sound?
Does model have the desired effect (e.g., reducing cost)?
3.3 Statistical Methods for Evaluation Statistics helps answer data analytics questions
32
3.3.1 Hypothesis Testing
3.3.2 Difference of Means
3.3.3 Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test
3.3.4 Type I and Type II Errors
3.3.5 Power and Sample Size
3.3.6 ANOVA (Analysis of Variance)
3.3 Statistical Methods for Evaluation Subsections
33
Basic concept is to form an assertion and test it with data
Common assumption is that there is no difference between samples (default assumption)
Statisticians refer to this as the null hypothesis (H0)
The alternative hypothesis (HA) is that there is a difference between samples
3.3.1 Hypothesis Testing
34
3.3.1 Hypothesis Testing Example Null and Alternative Hypotheses
35
3.3.2 Difference of Means Two populations – same or different?
36
Student’s t-test
Assumes two normally distributed populations, and that they have equal variance
Welch’s t-test
Assumes two normally distributed populations, and they don’t necessarily have equal variance
3.3.2 Difference of Means Two Parametric Methods
37
Makes no assumptions about the underlying probability distributions
3.3.3 Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test A Nonparametric Method
38
An hypothesis test may result in two types of errors
Type I error – rejection of the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is TRUE
Type II error – acceptance of the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is FALSE
3.3.4 Type I and Type II Errors
39
3.3.4 Type I and Type II Errors
40
The power of a test is the probability of correctly rejecting the null hypothesis
The power of a test increases as the sample size increases
Effect size d = difference between the means
It is important to consider an appropriate effect size for the problem at hand
3.3.5 Power and Sample Size
41
3.3.5 Power and Sample Size
42
A generalization of the hypothesis testing of the difference of two population means
Good for analyzing more than two populations
ANOVA tests if any of the population means differ from the other population means
3.3.6 ANOVA (Analysis of Variance)
