2 Outline 1 Estimates of Spread Estimates of Spread The Sample Standard Deviation Effect of Multiplication/Addition by a Constant (WMU) S1600 #6 S1600, Lecture 6 2 / 11
3 Estimates of Spread (or Uncertainty, Variation) an estimate of spread is a measure of uncertainty, or variation, or give or take when two or more comparable data sets (comparable means data sets are of same type/same unit of numerical measurements) are compared, the one with smallest spread has least uncertainty around the estimate of center (i.e., least scattered) estimates of spread are non-negative (WMU) S1600 #6 S1600, Lecture 6 3 / 11
4 Estimates of Spread (or Uncertainty, Variation) an estimate of spread is a measure of uncertainty, or variation, or give or take when two or more comparable data sets (comparable means data sets are of same type/same unit of numerical measurements) are compared, the one with smallest spread has least uncertainty around the estimate of center (i.e., least scattered) estimates of spread are non-negative (WMU) S1600 #6 S1600, Lecture 6 3 / 11

X), i.e., how much an obs. missed by the mean (i.e., deviation) Step 3. Calculate (obs. X) 2. That is, calculate squared ( missed by ) s (i.e., deviation 2 ) Step 4. Calculate SS, the total squared ( missed by ) s Step 5. Take square-root of SS/(n 1) to get SD (WMU) S1600 #6 S1600, Lecture 6 4 / 11

13 Sample Standard Deviation is Not Robust As an estimate of the spread of a data set, the sample standard deviation is sensitive to outliers. (WMU) S1600 #6 S1600, Lecture 6 6 / 11

15 iclicker Question 6.2 Recall that an estimate is robust if it is insensitive to outliers. Which of the following statements is true. A. The sample mean and the standard deviation are robust. B. The sample mean is robust but the standard deviation is not. C. The sample mean is not robust but the standard deviation is. D. The sample mean and the standard deviation are not robust. E. None of the previous statements is true. (WMU) S1600 #6 S1600, Lecture 6 8 / 11
