1 Chapter 201 Descriptive Statistics Summary Tables Itroductio This procedure is used to summarize cotiuous data. Large volumes of such data may be easily summarized i statistical tables of meas, couts, stadard deviatios, etc. Categorical group variables may be used to calculate summaries for idividual groups. The tables are similar i structure to those produced by cross tabulatio. This procedure produces tables of the followig summary statistics: Cout Missig Cout Sum Mea Stadard Deviatio (Std Dev) Stadard Error (Std Error) Lower 95% Cofidece Limit for the Mea (95% LCL) Upper 95% Cofidece Limit for the Mea (95% UCL) Media Miimum Maximum Rage Iterquartile Rage (IQR) 10th Percetile (10th Pctile) 25th Percetile (25th Pctile) 75th Percetile (75th Pctile) 90th Percetile (90th Pctile) Variace Mea Absolute Deviatio (MAD) Mea Absolute Deviatio from the Media (MADM) Coefficiet of Variatio (COV) Coefficiet of Dispersio (COD) Skewess Kurtosis Types of Categorical Variables Note that we will refer to two types of categorical variables: Group Variables ad Break Variables. The values of a Group Variable are used to defie the rows, sub rows, ad colums of the summary table. Up to two Group Variables may be used per table. Group Variables are ot required. Break Variables are used to split a database ito subgroups. A separate report is geerated for each uique set of values of the break variables

2 Data Structure The data below are a subset of the Resale dataset provided with the software. This (computer simulated) data gives the sellig price, the umber of bedrooms, the total square footage (fiished ad ufiished), ad the size of the lots for 150 residetial properties sold durig the last four moths i two states. This data is represetative of the type of data that may be aalyzed with this procedure. Oly the first 8 of the 150 observatios are displayed. Resale dataset (subset) State Price Bedrooms TotalSqft LotSize Nev Nev Vir Nev Nev Nev Nev Nev Missig Values Observatios with missig values i either the group variables or the cotiuous data variables are igored. The procedure also allows you to specify up to 5 additioal values to be cosidered as missig i categorical group variables. Summary Statistics The followig sectios outlie the summary statistics that are available i this procedure. Cout The umber of o-missig data values,. If o frequecy variable was specified, this is the umber of rows with o-missig values. Missig Cout The umber of missig data values. If o frequecy variable was specified, this is the umber of rows with missig values. Sum The sum (or total) of the data values. Sum = x i i=

3 Mea The average of the data values. x = i=1 x i Variace The sample variace, s 2, is a popular measure of dispersio. It is a average of the squared deviatios from the mea. Stadard Deviatio (Std Dev) s 2 i = 1 = ( x x ) The sample stadard deviatio, s, is a popular measure of dispersio. It measures the average distace betwee a sigle observatio ad the mea. It is equal to the square root of the sample variace. i 1 2 s = i = 1 ( x x ) i 1 2 Stadard Error (Std Error) The stadard error of the mea, a measure of the variatio of the sample mea about the populatio mea, is computed by dividig the sample stadard deviatio by the square root of the sample size. 95% Cofidece Iterval for the Mea (95% LCL & 95% UCL) s x = This is the upper ad lower values of a 95% cofidece iterval estimate for the mea based o a t distributio with 1 degrees of freedom. This iterval estimate assumes that the populatio stadard deviatio is ot kow ad that the data for this variable are ormally distributed. s 95% CI = ± t a s x /2, 1 x Miimum The smallest data value. Maximum The largest data value

4 Rage The differece betwee the largest ad smallest data values. Percetiles Rage = Maximum Miimum The 100p th percetile is the value below which 100p% of data values may be foud (ad above which 100p% of data values may be foud).the 100p th percetile is computed as Z 100p = (1-g)X [k1] + gx [k2] where k1 equals the iteger part of p(+1), k2=k1+1, g is the fractioal part of p(+1), ad X [k] is the k th observatio whe the data are sorted from lowest to highest. Media The media (or 50th percetile) is the middle umber of the sorted data values. Media = Z 50 Iterquartile Rage (IQR) The differece betwee the 75th ad 25th percetiles (the 3rd ad 1st quartiles). This represets the rage of the middle 50% of the data. It serves as a robust measure of the variatio i the data. IQR = Z 75 Z 25 Mea Absolute Deviatio (MAD) A measure of dispersio that is ot affected by outliers as much as the stadard deviatio ad variace. It measures the average absolute distace betwee a sigle observatio ad the mea. MAD = i = 1 x i x Mea Absolute Deviatio from the Media (MADM) A measure of dispersio that is eve more robust to outliers tha the mea absolute deviatio (MAD) sice the media is used as the ceter poit of the distributio. It measures the average absolute distace betwee a sigle observatio ad the media. MADM xi Media i= =

5 Coefficiet of Variatio (COV) A relative measure of dispersio used to compare the amout of variatio i two samples. It is calculated by dividig the stadard deviatio by the mea. Sometimes it is referred to as COV or CV. Coefficiet of Dispersio (COD) s COV = x A robust, relative measure of dispersio. It is calculated by dividig the robust mea absolute deviatio from the media (MADM) by the media. It is frequetly used i real estate or tax assessmet applicatios. Skewess COD = MADM Media = i= 1 xi Media Media Measures the directio ad degree of asymmetry i the data distributio. where m r = i = 1 ( x x ) i r m Skewess = 3 m 3/2 2 Kurtosis Measures the heaviess of the tails i the data distributio. where m r = i = 1 ( x x ) i r m Kurtosis = 4 m

6 Procedure Optios This sectio describes the optios available i this procedure. To fid out more about usig a procedure, tur to the Procedures chapter. Variables Tab This pael specifies the variables that will be used i the aalysis ad the summary table cotets ad layout. Summary Table Cotets ad Layout Data Variable(s) Specify oe or more variables whose descriptive statistics are to be calculated. These statistics, selected from those available, will be computed for each combiatio of the values i the categorical group variables (if ay) that you have selected. The data i these variables must be umeric. Text values will be skipped i the calculatios. Table Positio for Data Variable(s) Select the positio for Data Variable(s) i the summary table(s). See Layout Preview for Items i the Table. The optios are Auto The positio for the data variable(s) is automatically determied based o the locatio of other items i the table. Rows Each data variable is listed as a separate row i the table. Colums Each data variable is listed as a separate colum i the table. Sub Rows Each data variable is listed as a separate sub row i the table. Tables A separate table is created for each data variable. The positios for Data Variable(s) ad for Statistics ca both be set to Tables oly if there is at least oe group variable. I this case, a separate table is created for each Data Variable/Statistic combiatio. Plots Plots are created with a table s row item o the group axis ad the colum item as the leged variable. Whe there is oly oe colum, the sub row item is used as the leged variable. For combied plots from tables with rows, sub rows, ad colums, the rows ad sub rows are combied oto the group axis ad the colums are icluded i the leged. Statistics Select oe or more statistics to be icluded i the table(s) ad plot(s). The statistics are computed separately for each Data Variable. If oe or more Group Variables are etered, the statistics are computed for each combiatio of the group values. The order of the statistics o the table(s) ad plot(s) ca be chaged usig the up/dow arrow buttos to the right

7 Table Positio for Statistics Select the positio for Statistics i the summary table(s). See Layout Preview for Items i the Table. The optios are Auto The positio for the statistics is automatically determied based o the locatio of other items i the table. Rows Each statistic is listed as a separate row i the table. Colums Each statistic is listed as a separate colum i the table. Sub Rows Each statistic is listed as a separate sub row i the table. Tables A separate table is created for each statistic. The positios for Data Variable(s) ad for Statistics ca both be set to Tables oly if there is at least oe group variable. I this case, a separate table is created for each Data Variable/Statistic combiatio. Plots Plots are created with a table s row item o the group axis ad the colum item as the leged variable. Whe there is oly oe colum, the sub row item is used as the leged variable. For combied plots from tables with rows, sub rows, ad colums, the rows ad sub rows are combied oto the group axis ad the colums are icluded i the leged. Iclude Group Variable 1, 2 Check to iclude a categorical group variable i the table. Whe oly Group Variable 1 is used, statistics are computed for each uique group value. Whe both Group Variable 1 ad Group Variable 2 are used, statistics are computed for each combiatio of group values. Group Variable 1, 2 Specify oe or more categorical group variables. The categories may be text (e.g. Low, Med, High ) or umeric (e.g. 1, 2, 3 ). Whe oly Group Variable 1 is used, statistics are computed for each uique group value. Whe both Group Variable 1 ad Group Variable 2 are used, statistics are computed for each combiatio of group values. If more tha oe variable is etered for Group Variable 1, a separate table will be created for each variable etered. The data values i each variable will be sorted alpha-umerically before beig listed i the table. If you wat the values to be displayed i a differet order, specify a custom value order for the data colums etered here usig the Colum Ifo Table o the Data Widow

8 Table Positio for Group Variable 1, 2 Select the positio for the values of the Group Variable i the summary table(s). See Layout Preview for Items i the Table. The optios are Auto The positio for the group variable is automatically determied based o the locatio of other items i the table. Rows Each group variable is listed as a separate row i the table. Colums Each group variable is listed as a separate colum i the table. Sub Rows Each group variable is listed as a separate sub row i the table. Plots Plots are created with a table s row item o the group axis ad the colum item as the leged variable. Whe there is oly oe colum, the sub row item is used as the leged variable. For combied plots from tables with rows, sub rows, ad colums, the rows ad sub rows are combied oto the group axis ad the colums are icluded i the leged. Create Other Group Variables from Numeric Data Check this box to create group variables from umeric data. Whe checked, additioal optios will be displayed to specify how the umeric data will be classified ito categorical variables. If you choose to create group variables from umeric data, you do ot have to eter a categorical group variable i the iput box above (but you ca). If both umeric ad categorical group variables are etered, a separate table ad aalysis will be calculated for each variable. Numeric Variable(s) to Categorize Specify oe or more variables that have oly umeric values. Numeric values from these variables will be combied ito a set of categories usig the categorizatio optios that follow. If more tha oe variable is etered, a separate table will be created for each variable. For example, suppose you wat to tabulate a variable cotaiig idividual icome values ito four categories: Below 10000, to 40000, to 80000, ad Over You could select the icome variable here, set Group Numeric Data ito Categories Usig to List of Iterval Upper Limits ad set the List to

9 Group Numeric Data ito Categories Usig Choose the method by which umeric data will be combied ito categories. The choices are: Number of Itervals, Miimum, ad/or Width This optio allows you to specify the categories by eterig ay combiatio of the three parameters: Number of Itervals Miimum Width All three are optioal. Number of Itervals This is the umber of itervals ito which the values of the umeric variables are categorized. If ot eough itervals are specified to reach past the maximum data value, more will be added. Rage Iteger 2 Miimum This value is used i cojuctio with the Number of Itervals ad Width values to costruct a set of itervals ito which the umeric variables are categorized. This is the miimum value of the first iterval. Rage This value must be less tha the miimum data value. Width This value is used i cojuctio with the Number of Itervals ad Miimum values to costruct a set of itervals ito which the umeric variables are categorized. All itervals will have a width equal to this value. A data value X is i this iterval if Lower Limit < X Upper Limit. List of Iterval Upper Limits This optio allows you to specify the categories for the umeric variable by eterig a list of iterval boudaries directly, separated by blaks or commas. A iterval of the form L1 < X L2 is geerated for each iterval. The actual umber of itervals is oe more tha the umber of items specified here. For example, suppose you wat to tabulate a variable cotaiig idividual icome values ito four categories: Below 10000, to 40000, to 80000, ad Over You would set List of Iterval Upper Limits to Note that would be icluded i the Below iterval, but ot the to iterval. Also, would be icluded i the to iterval, ot the Over iterval. Layout Preview for Items i the Table This sectio provides a represetatio of how the results will be laid out i the table based o your item positio choices. Colors are used oly to highlight the positio of items i the table. The actual output will all be black

10 Breaks, Frequecies Tab This pael lets you specify up to eight break variables ad a frequecy variable. These variables are completely optioal. Break Variables Eter up to 8 categorical break variables. The values i these variables are used to break the output up ito separate reports ad plots. A separate set of reports is geerated for each uique value (or uique combiatio of values if multiple break variables are specified). The break variables will be applied i the order that they are listed here. Frequecy Variable Specify a optioal frequecy (cout) variable. This data colum cotais itegers that represet the umber of observatios (frequecy) associated with each row of the dataset. If this optio is left blak, each dataset row has a frequecy of oe. This variable lets you modify that frequecy. This may be useful whe your data are tabulated ad you wat to eter couts. Missig Values Tab This pael lets you specify up to five missig values (besides the default of blak). For example, 0, 9, or NA may be missig values i your database. Missig Value Iclusio Specifies whether to iclude observatios with missig values i the tables. Delete All idicates that you wat the missig values totally igored. Iclude i All idicates that you wat the missig values treated just like ay other category. Missig Values Specify up to five idividual missig values here, oe per box. Report Optios Tab The followig optios cotrol the format of the reports. Group Variable Margial Totals Display Group Variable Margial Total o the Summary Tables Check to display margial totals for group variables (if used) o the tables. If o group variables are beig used the this optio is igored. Report Optios Variable Names This optio lets you select whether to display oly variable ames, variable labels, or both. Value Labels This optio lets you select whether to display oly values, value labels, or both. Use this optio if you wat the table to automatically attach labels to the values (like 1=Yes, 2=No, etc.). See the sectio o specifyig Value Labels elsewhere i this maual

11 Summary Table Formattig Colum Justificatio Specify whether data colums i the tables will be left or right justified. Colum Widths Specify how the widths of colums i the cotigecy tables will be determied. The optios are Autosize to Miimum Widths Each data colum is idividually resized to the smallest width required to display the data i the colum. This usually results i colums with differet widths. This optio produces the most compact table possible, displayig the most data per page. Autosize to Equal Miimum Width The smallest width of each data colum is calculated ad the all colums are resized to the width of the widest colum. This results i the most compact table possible where all data colums have the same with. This is the default settig. Custom (User-Specified) Specify the widths (i iches) of the colums directly istead of havig the software calculate them for you. Custom Widths Eter oe or more values for the widths (i iches) of colums i the cotigecy tables. Sigle Value If you eter a sigle value, that value will be used as the width for all data colums i the table. List of Values Eter a list of values separated by spaces correspodig to the widths of each colum. The first value is used for the width of the first data colum, the secod for the width of the secod data colum, ad so forth. Extra values will be igored. If you eter fewer values tha the umber of colums, the last value i your list will be used for the remaiig colums. Type the word Autosize for ay colum to cause the program to calculate it's width for you. For example, eter 1 Autosize 0.7 to make colum 1 be 1 ich wide, colum 2 be sized by the program, ad colum 3 be 0.7 iches wide. Wrap Colum Headigs oto Two Lies Check this optio to make colum headigs wrap oto two lies. Use this optio to codese your table whe your data are spaced too far apart because of log colum headigs. Use Short Statistical Names o Reports ad Plots Normally, the ames of the statistical items i the reports ad plots are complete ames, such as Stadard Deviatio. Checkig this optio causes a shorter ame, such as SD, to be used istead so that more colums ca be displayed together i tables ad so that plot titles ad labels are ot so log. A maximum of 13 colums ca be displayed o a sigle row

12 Decimal Places Item Decimal Places These decimal optios allow the user to specify the umber of decimal places for items i the output. Your choice here will ot affect calculatios; it will oly affect the format of the output. Auto If oe of the Auto optios is selected, the edig zero digits are ot show. For example, if Auto (0 to 7) is chose, is displayed as is displayed as The output formattig system is ot desiged to accommodate Auto (0 to 13), ad if chose, this will likely lead to lies that ru o to a secod lie. This optio is icluded, however, for the rare case whe a very large umber of decimals is eeded. Plots Tab The optios o this pael cotrol the appearace of the plots that may be displayed. Click the plot format butto to chage the plot settigs. Show Separate Plots of each Statistic for each Table Check to display plots for each statistic i each table. This may result i several plots beig created for each table. Plots are created with a table s row item o the group axis ad the colum item as the leged variable. Whe there is oly oe colum, the sub row item is used as the leged variable. Show a Combied Plot for each Table Check to display a sigle plot for each table that cotais all of the iformatio i the table. Plots are created with a table s row item o the group axis ad the colum item as the leged variable. Whe there is oly oe colum, the sub row item is used as the leged variable. For combied plots from tables with rows, sub rows, ad colums, the rows ad sub rows are combied oto the group axis ad the colums are icluded i the leged. Display Break Variables Values as Subtitles o the Plots Specify whether to display the values of the break variables as the secod title lie o the plots. Display Group Variable Margial Totals o the Plots Check to display margial totals for group variables (if used) o the plots. If o group variables are beig used the this optio is igored

Output Summary Table of Pai Time Drug Statistic Kerlosi Mea Mi th Pctile Media th Pctile Max Laposec Mea Mi th Pctile Media th Pctile Max Placebo Mea Mi th Pctile Media th Pctile Max The table is displays Group Variable 1 (Drug) values as the rows, the statistics as the subrows, ad Group Variable 2 (Time) values as the colums. Plots of each Statistic for Pai (More Statistic Plots Follow) Idividual plots are created with the table row item (Group Variable Drug ) o the group (X) axis ad the table colum item (Group Variable Time ) as the leged variable. A separate plot is created for each statistic. These plots are very useful for seeig overall treds. From the plots show here, it is apparet that the average ad miimum pai respose is lower for both drugs tha for placebo ad that the pai cotrol is better over time. Kerlosi appears to cotrol pai the best from these results. Statistical tests would eed to be performed, however, to assert statistical sigificace i the differeces

20 Combied Plot of Pai The combied plot displays all of the iformatio i the table. We rotated the group axis labels so they would ot overlap ad be readable. The table row item (Group Variable Drug ) ad table sub row item (Statistic) are combied o the group (X) axis. The table colum item (Group Variable Time ) is the leged variable. Example 3b Adjust Item Table Positios (Group 2 Variable i Rows, Group 1 Variable i Sub Rows, ad Statistics i Colums) To chage the orietatio o the tables ad plots, simply chage the positio the items. Let s display the Statistics as the colums ad Time as the rows. This will put Drug as the sub row. Go back to the Descriptive Statistics Summary Tables procedure widow ad chage the positio for Statistics to Colums ad the positio for Group Variable 2 (Time) to Rows (or load the completed template Example 3b by clickig o Ope Example Template from the File meu) ad ru the procedure agai to get the results. 9 Specify the statistics ad group variables.
