Otherwise it is a futile exercise in mathematics. Data Descriptors It is a common observation that the individuals in any sizable body of data tend to cluster around some central value. This value is often quoted as a descriptor of some general characteristic of the entire set. The single data descriptor most commonly used is the average value or arithmetic mean. However, this has its limitations as will be seen in the following sets. 0 All of the data sets in the box above have the same average value, X, but they differ widely.
5C) fits much data when large differences from the central value occur more frequently than small departures, as in the case of environmental data, for example. The log normal distribution becomes a normal © 2004 by CRC Press LLC GENERAL PRINCIPLES distribution when the logarithms of the data are used as if they were the actual data points. 6. 6B has already been commented on. 6C results from a number of unresolved distributions lumped together unknowingly, because no effort was made to resolve them, or resolution may have been difficult if not impossible.
Second, every data point should be independent, that is to say uninfluenced by any other data point in the set. Third, the data points should be randomly distributed around the mean. There is no way to unequivocally prove that these requirements are met in any situation. The only thing that can be done is to look for departures from the requirements. This should always be done before applying statistical treatment to any data set. 11. Probability plots. violations are found, there is no reason to believe that there are violations (note that this is different from saying that the requirements have been met).
