Initial Steps: 1-Variable Data Analysis
Clusters are isolated groups of points.
Gaps are large spaces between data points or between clusters of data points.
Outliers are data values substantially larger or smaller than any other data points.
The maximum value of a data set is the largest value in the set. It is also called the upper extreme.
The minimum value of a data set is the smallest value in the set. It is also called the lower extreme.
The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of a data set.
The mode of a data set is the value that occurs most often in the data set. A data set can have more than one mode, and if no data value occurs more often than any other, there is no mode.Thursday, February 13, 2014
