Graphic representation and
graphic analysis



Graphic representations are used for evident
representation of statistical quantities they allow
to analyze them deeper.
The graphic representation can be built both
after absolute and after relative quantities.
Using the graphic method, it is important to know
that the type of graphic representation must
strictly answer the maintenance of every index.
Source data and graph types
Relative quantities:
intensive indices
 extensive indices
 index of correlation
 index of evidence

Source data and graph types

Intensive quantities - 4 types of
diagrams:
-
column
linear
mapgram
mapdiagram
Source data and graph types
Extensive quantities: (they characterize
the structure) sector or inwardly-column
diagram.
 Indices of correlation: the same
diagrams, that for intensive quantities
(column and linear diagrams, mapgram,
mapdiagram).

Source data and graph types
Indices of evident: the principles of
graphic representation are the same,
that for intensive quantities.
 Column diagrams – for illustration of
homogeneous, but not interconnected
indices. They represent the static’s of
the phenomena.

Source data and graph types


Linear diagrams – for the representations of
dynamics of that or other phenomenon (a
typical example is a temperature curve,
change of birth-rate, death rate level).
Radial diagram – is built on the system of
polar co-ordinates of the phenomenon
representations during the close cycle of time
(days, week, year). For example: structure of
morbidity or cause of mortality, where in a
circle every cause of mortality, depending on
its percent occupies a certain sector.
Source data and graph types
Mapgram is the representations of
statistical quantities on a geographical
map (or scheme of card). Absolute and
other indices can be marked.
 Mapdiagram is the representations of
different types of diagrams on the
geographical map.

Common rules of construction
of graphs
every graphic representation must have a
name, where its contest, time and place is
mentioned;
Common rules of construction
of graphs
it must be built to a certain scale;
Common rules of construction
of graphs
for every graphic representation explanation
of colored application must be given (as
conditional denotations or shading).
Types of graphs


Linear diagram is used for illustration of the
frequency phenomena which changes with
time, that for the representations of the
phenomena dynamics.
The base of this diagram is the rectangular
system of co-ordinates. For example: on
abscising axis – Х - segments are put aside
on a scale, on a y-axis – indices of morbidity
(х : y = 4: 3).
Types of graphs


Column diagram (rectangular) is used for illustration
of homogeneous, but not connected between
themselves intensive indices. It represents dynamics
or static of the phenomena.
At construction of this kind of diagram columns are
drawn, the height of which must suit the quantities of
the represented indices taking the scale into account.
It is necessary to take into account that the wideness
of all the columns and also the distance between
them must be identical and arbitrary. Columns on a
diagram can be vertical or horizontal. For example:
growth of number of beds in permanent
establishment from 1990 to 2003 year.
Types of graphs


Sector diagram is used for illustration of
extensive indices, which characterize the
structure of the phenomenon, thus they give
imagination about specific gravity of the
phenomena in common.
The circle is taken as 100 % (if indices are
shown in %) thus 1 % equal to 3,60
circumferences. With the help of protractor
the segments, which suit the size of an index
are put aside on a circle.
Types of graphs
Radial diagram is the type of the linear
diagram built on polar co-ordinates.
 At the construction of radial diagram in
the role of abscising axis - Х is the
circle divided on the identical number of
parts, according to the spans of time of
that or another cycle.

Types of graphs

Linear diagrams are made according to
system of rectangular coordinates where the
horizontal scale is postponed at the left - to
the right on a line of abscissas (X), and
vertical - from below - upwards on a line
which is called as ordinate (Y). The obligatory
requirement of construction of any schedule
is scale, that is the image on drawing should
be reduced, compared with corresponding
figures.
Types of graphs

Long-pillar diagrams are for comparison of
several sizes. It is possible to rectangular
which represent sizes, it is possible to place
also on the plane diagram not on a vertical,
and across and then there will be a tape
diagram (Fig.4). In some cases the image of
sizes as tapes (stirs) is more convenient, than
as columns because it is easier to sign with
each tape by a horizontal inscription.
Quantitative types of connection
 functional
one is the connection, at
which the strictly defined value of the
second sign answers to any value of
one of the signs (for example, the
certain area of the circle answers to
the radius of the circle)
Quantitative types of connection

correlation - connection at which a few values of
one sign answer to the value of every average
size of another sign associated with the first one
(for example, it is known that the height and
mass of man’s body are linked between each
other; in the group of persons with identical
height there are different valuations of mass of
body, however, these valuations of body mass
varies in certain sizes – round their average
size).
Correlative connection


Correlative connection foresees the dependence
between the phenomena, which do not have
clear functional character.
Correlative connection is showed up only in the
mass of supervisions that is in totality. The
establishment of correlative connection foresees
the exposure of the causal connection, which will
confirm the dependence of one phenomenon on
the other one.
Correlative connection


Correlative connection by the direction (the
character) of connection can be direct and
reverse. The coefficient of correlation, that
characterizes the direct communication, is
marked by the sign plus (+), and the coefficient
of correlation, that characterizes the reverse one,
is marked by the sign minus (-).
By the force the correlative connection can be
strong, middle, weak, it can be full and it can be
absent.

Types of correlative
connection
By direction
direct (+) – with the increasing of one sign
increases the middle value of another one;
 reverse (-) – with the increasing of one sign
decreases the middle value of another one;

Types of correlative
connection
By character
 rectilinear - relatively even changes of
middle values of one sign are
accompanied by the equal changes of the
other (arterial pressure minimal and
maximal)
 curvilinear – at the even change of one
sing there can be the increasing or
decreasing middle values of the other sign.
Terms Used To Describe The
Quality Of Measurements
Reliability is variability between subjects
divided by inter-subject variability plus
measurement error.
 Validity refers to the extent to which a test
or surrogate is measuring what we think it
is measuring.

Measures Of Diagnostic Test
Accuracy




Sensitivity is defined as the ability of the test to identify
correctly those who have the disease.
Specificity is defined as the ability of the test to identify
correctly those who do not have the disease.
Predictive values are important for assessing how
useful a test will be in the clinical setting at the individual
patient level. The positive predictive value is the
probability of disease in a patient with a positive test.
Conversely, the negative predictive value is the
probability that the patient does not have disease if he
has a negative test result.
Likelihood ratio indicates how much a given diagnostic
test result will raise or lower the odds of having a disease
relative to the prior probability of disease.
Measures Of Diagnostic Test
Accuracy
Expressions Used When
Making Inferences About Data

Confidence Intervals
- The results of any study sample are an estimate of the true value
in the entire population. The true value may actually be greater or
less than what is observed.



Type I error (alpha) is the probability of incorrectly
concluding there is a statistically significant difference in
the population when none exists.
Type II error (beta) is the probability of incorrectly
concluding that there is no statistically significant
difference in a population when one exists.
Power is a measure of the ability of a study to detect a
true difference.
Multivariable Regression
Methods


Multiple linear regression is used when the
outcome data is a continuous variable such as
weight. For example, one could estimate the
effect of a diet on weight after adjusting for the
effect of confounders such as smoking status.
Logistic regression is used when the outcome
data is binary such as cure or no cure. Logistic
regression can be used to estimate the effect of
an exposure on a binary outcome after adjusting
for confounders.
Survival Analysis


Kaplan-Meier analysis measures the ratio of
surviving subjects (or those without an event)
divided by the total number of subjects at risk for
the event. Every time a subject has an event, the
ratio is recalculated. These ratios are then used
to generate a curve to graphically depict the
probability of survival.
Cox proportional hazards analysis is similar to
the logistic regression method described above
with the added advantage that it accounts for
time to a binary event in the outcome variable.
Thus, one can account for variation in follow-up
time among subjects.

Data recorded in surveys are
displayed by a statistical graph.
There are some specific types of
graphs to study in the data
statistics graphs. There are eleven

Introduction to types of
statistical graphs:
Let us see some content about types of
statistical graphs. The statistical data's are
used to represent by some graphs format. The
statistical data's are either continuous or
discontinuous. There are more types of
statistical graphs. Each and every graph is
used in various purposes. The graphs and
charts are commonly used by the business
trends.
Types of Statistical Graphs:
There are several types of statistical data.
Each graph is used to show the data levels of the
business without the any calculations. The types of
statistical graphs are following below:

Statistical graph 1: Line graph.

Statistical graph 2: Bar graph.

Statistical graph 3: Pie chart.

Statistical graph 4: Histogram.

Statistical graph 5: Scatter plot.
These are the types of the statistical graphs
used to draw the statistical data's.
Statistical graph 1: Line graph:
The line graph is used to conspire
the continuous data. The data's are
plotted as points. The points are
joined by the lines. This graph is
used to compare multiple data sets.
But the line graph only using
continuous data's.
This is the symbolization of the
line graph.
Linear diagram

Statistical graph 2: Bar graph:
The bar graph displays discrete data in
disconnect columns. A double bar
graph can be used to evaluate two
data sets. It is visually muscular. It is
used to easily evaluate two or three
data sets. It uses only discrete data.
This is the symbolization of the
bar graph.
Statistical graph 3: pie chart:
The pie chart displays data as a
percentage of the whole. It
displays the percentage of each
category. But, it has no exact
data's.
This is the symbolization of the
pie chart.
Sector diagram
Statistical graph 4: Histogram:
The
histogram
shows
the
continuous data in order to
columns. It is same as the line
graph but it is represented as in
column format.
This is the histogram for the
given statistical data.
Graphical Representation of
Statistical Data
A histogram is a
two-dimensional
graphical
representation of a
continuous
frequency
distribution.
A histogram is a
special type of bar
diagram.
Histogram
A histogram is a way of summarizing data
pictorially. Histograms show the distribution
of the data.
They are constructed from a frequency table,
which is a summary of the data. The general
format
for a histogram is a vertical scale that
demonstrates frequencies and a horizontal
scale that
represents the individual intervals, sometimes
called classes. Bars are used to represent
each
individual interval with the height of the bar
corresponding to the frequency.
A histogram is drawn according to the
steps given below.
Prepare
a
grouped
frequency
distribution table of the given data.
 Show class-limits on X-axis with a
suitable scale.
 Show frequencies on Y-axis with a
suitable scale.
 Draw rectangles having base equal to
the
class
limits
and
heights
proportional to the frequencies. These
rectangles should be joined to each
other.

A frequency distribution
table is shown below

Histogram
The following points can be inferred
from the above histogram.
 It
is not necessary that the scale on
the X-axis and the Y-axis be the
same. Different scales may be taken
on the axes considering the nature
of the data, size of the paper etc. A
histogram should look neat and
attractive.
 The position of origin on the Y-axis
is according to the scale, which is
not so on the X - axis. This is
indicated by drawing √mark on
 The
X-axis near the origin. If
necessary, the mark can be made
on the Y-axis or on both axes.
 In a histogram, it is necessary that
the adjacent rectangles be attached
to each other. Therefore, if the
given classes are not continuous, it
is necessary to make them
continuous e.g.; if the classes are 2
to 5, 6 to 9, 10 to 13,…. It should be
as 1.5 to 5.5, 5.5 to 9.5, 9.5 to 13.5…
Statistical graph 5: Scatter
plot:
The scatter pot shows the
relationship between two factors
of the experiment. It displays the
relationship between two data's.
This is the example of the scatter
plot.
WHAT IS A CARTOGRAM?
A cartogram is a colored map
that
gives
a
graphical
representation of statistical data.
It is used for an immediate view
of a phenomenon or behavior.
