Università Roma Tre

- Introduction.
- Frequency distributions: absolute frequencies, relative frequencies, percentages, cumulated frequencies. Classes of modalities for quantitative variables.
- Statistical plots: bar charts, pie charts, stem and leaf, histograms, time series plot.
- Position indexes: mean, median, mode. Position index properties.
- Variability indexes: variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, range. Concentration.
- Box-plot
- Data transformation. Linear transformation. Standardization.
- Contingency tables. Pearson chi-square index. Independence and dependence on average.
- Covariance and correlation.
- Simple linear regression model.
- Statistical indexes for social science.

The course will focus on the main statistical function on Excel. In particular:
Pivot tables . Plots: bar charts, pie charts, histograms, plots for two variables. Position indexes: mean, mediann and mode. Variability indexes: variance and deviazione standard. Covariance, correlation, regression.
