Linear Transformations (in a Descriptive Statistics Setting)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- I discuss linear transformations, in the context of descriptive statistics. I discuss what a linear transformation is, give an example, discuss the effect of the linear transformation on various summary statistics, and work through a numerical example.
The temperature data is from here:
climate.weathe...
(The original data was given in Celsius, but I converted it to Fahrenheit for use in this video.)
0:00 Introduction and example
1:36 Illustration of the effect of the additive constant on measures of central tendency and variability.
3:58 Illustration of the effect of the multiplicative constant on measures of central tendency and variability.
6:52 Formulas for the new mean, standard deviation, and variance after the linear transformation.
7:50 A numerical example of the effect of a linear transformation on the mean, median, standard deviation, and variance (converting temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius).
R code to calculate the mean and standard deviation for the examples:
mean(c(3,4,5))
[1] 4
sd(c(3,4,5))
[1] 1
It's great to see that Prof. Balka is uploading new videos again!
Such a great Video. I loved the explanation. Please make more such videos
Thanks for the kind words!
Great teachings
Nice, you're back! can you also make something on similar transformations, thanks
Fantastic video, super helpful to understanding!!!
Thanks! I'm glad I could help!
Very basic topic , nice explanation
Gold
very useful!
