Expended statistical analysis:-
In the context of business intelligence (BI), statistical analysis
involves collecting and scrutinizing every data sample in a set of
items from which samples can be drawn. ... Create a model to
summarize understanding of how the data relates to the underlying
population.
Two main statistical methods are used in data analysis: descriptive
statistics, which summarize data from a sample using indexes such
as the mean or standard deviation, and inferential statistics,
which draw conclusions from data that are subject to random
variation
Standard statistical Analysis :-
Measures of central tendency are a type of descriptive analysis
that are used to represent the central cluster or typical scenario
depicted by the data. The most commonly used measures here are
median, mean, and mode.
Median is calculated by arranging the data points in ascending
order and then taking the middle number. In case of two middle
numbers, their average is taken
Mean represents the average of the data points. It is calculated by
dividing the sum of all the data points by the number of data
points,
Mode represents the most frequently occurring data point in the
sample of data.
Measures of Dispersion
Measures of dispersion are a type of descriptive analysis that are
used to explain how far apart the data points are spread. The most
commonly used measure is standard deviation.
Standard deviation is a measure of how far data might lie from
the mean. Calculating standard deviation starts by taking the
difference of each data point from the mean of the data, squaring
them, then adding them up. Finally, square the sum by the number of
data points and then taking the square root,
If that sounds like a headache to calculate, one can use computer
software to calculate the standard deviation. With big data sets,
statisticians have no other choice.
Standard deviation is very useful in a normal distribution. A
normal distribution is a variable that is distributed evenly about
a mean. It is usually bell-shaped and symmetrical about the
mean,
Sensitivity:-
In medical diagnosis, test sensitivity is the ability of a test to
correctly identify those with the disease (true positive rate),
whereas test specificity is the ability of the test to correctly
identify those without the disease (true negative rate).
Uncertainty
It is refers to epistemic situations involving imperfect or unknown
information. It applies to predictions of future events, to
physical measurements that are already made, or to the unknown.
Uncertainty arises in partially observable and/or stochastic
environments, as well as due to ignorance, indolence, or both.
