This document summarizes a student's statistical analysis project examining factors that predict life expectancy. The student collected data on 221 countries regarding birth rate, GDP, female literacy rate, and life expectancy. Descriptive statistics showed non-normal distributions. Simple linear regression of life expectancy on birth rate was significant but violated assumptions. Further research with additional variables and non-parametric methods could provide a better predictive model. Limitations included non-normal data and insufficient variables to fully address the question.
The document provides a summary of Amárach Research's monthly Economic Recovery Index (ERI) for Ireland from August 2009 to August 2013. Some key points:
- The ERI has remained above trend levels for the past three months, though negative emotions are rising and positive emotions falling as the summer comes to an end.
- In August 2013, 38% of respondents felt the economic situation was getting worse, while the ERI score was 23.7, sustaining higher levels since June.
- Levels of stress, worry, anxiety and sadness reported in August 2013 have risen compared to previous months, while enjoyment and happiness have fallen.
A report on the mood of the Irish consumer, from spending and savings, to the economy to their emotional wellbeing.
Based on a survey of 1,000 adults on the Amárach Research monthly online omnibus.
The document summarizes the findings of an Economic Recovery Index survey conducted in Ireland in February 2015. It finds that while the overall economic outlook continues to improve, consumer behavior indicators like spending, saving, and borrowing remain mixed. The survey finds that most Irish people believe the economy is improving but momentum has slowed in early 2015. Consumer sentiment is improved over 2009 levels but stress, worry and anxiety remain elevated compared to before the recession. The report concludes that further momentum is expected in coming months as unemployment falls but consumers will still be cautious.
The document summarizes the results of Amárach Research's monthly Economic Recovery Index survey in Ireland from April 2009 to May 2015. The key points are:
1) The Economic Recovery Index reached its highest level in April 2015, breaking through the "40 barrier" and remaining close to that peak in May 2015. This indicates the economic recovery is much stronger now compared to 2009-2010.
2) Consumer sentiment measures such as relaxation about spending and optimism have risen significantly from their lowest levels in 2009-2010 and remain elevated.
3) While some financial well-being indicators fell slightly from April's peaks, most measures of public mood have improved steadily since 2009, with less stress, worry and sadness reported in
The document summarizes the results of Amárach Research's June 2015 Economic Recovery Index survey of 1,000 Irish adults. Key findings include:
- The Economic Recovery Index has plateaued near its recent peak in April 2015, remaining over twice the level of six years ago and indicating the economy is improving.
- Consumer sentiment is positive, with more people feeling financially comfortable and relaxed about spending. However, debt repayment remains a top priority.
- Reported levels of enjoyment, happiness and optimism are up from the depths of the recession, though stress, worry and anxiety remain common emotions.
- The summary concludes momentum is growing in Ireland's economic recovery as consumers loosen their purse strings and are willing
John Erickson presented on a failed decision support system (DSS) project for a freight transportation company called ACME. The DSS was initially successful in improving key metrics like asset utilization and margins. However, after the 2009 financial crisis caused an unexpected downturn, the DSS could not adapt and implicit assumptions in its forecasts and models broke down. This led management to lose trust in the DSS. Key lessons included being wary of implicit assumptions, limiting complexity, maintaining vigilance over a model's performance over time, and ongoing training and socialization of the model with its users.

The document is a report from a student summarizing an industrial visit made by students from their college to an MRF Tyres factory. The report outlines that 61 students and 2 faculty members visited the factory and were given a tour where they observed the various production processes for making tires. The visit lasted from 10am to 3pm and gave the engineering students insight into mechanical applications and industrial robotics used at the factory. The student requests that more such industrial visits be arranged to provide practical training for students.
This is an example of a logical step on a statistical investigation. A group of students as research team came up with a problem statement, did data gathering, presented and analyzed the data and then interpreted the results...

Commonly Used Statistics in Survey ResearchPat Barlow
This is a version of our "commonly used statistics" presentation that has been modified to address the commonly used statistics in survey research and analysis. It is intended to give an *overview* of the various uses of these tests as they apply to survey research questions rather than the point-and-click calculations involved in running the statistics.

A key challenge faced by social organisations is the last mile gap -- communicating the insights and actions to the masses.
The problem is one of attention. Very few people spend time on anything that appears unengaging.
The problem is also one of complexity. Most of the audience is lost if the message is not communicated in the form of a simple story.
Data visualisation provides a mechanism for visually engaging stories that can can explain complex results in a simple fashion. It is seeing widespread adoption among the media, NGOs and the Government.
This Webinar discusses examples of how data visualisation has provided insights in areas of social interest, and has communicated these to a broader audience. We will what techniques and support mechanisms are available in the market today to enable visual storytelling.

This document provides information on various descriptive statistical methods for presenting continuous data, including tabular methods like frequency distributions and graphical methods like histograms, frequency polygons, stem-and-leaf plots, and cumulative frequency plots. It discusses how these different methods organize and display data in a way that helps readers understand the distribution at a glance. Frequency distributions involve grouping data into intervals and showing the number or frequency of observations within each interval. Histograms and frequency polygons are useful ways to display frequency distributions graphically.
This document summarizes a study that used multiple linear regression to predict life expectancy based on various health, socioeconomic, educational, and demographic factors. Separate regression models were developed for factors relating to health, race, poverty, and education. A final stepwise regression model included the variables of African American race, Asian American race, school enrollment, smoking, binge drinking, diabetes, and immunization rates. The final model indicated that African American race and smoking negatively impact life expectancy, while the other variables positively impact life expectancy. Assumption checks confirmed the normality and equal variance of the final regression model.

This document provides an overview of key statistical concepts for non-statisticians. It defines different types of data and variables, different ways of displaying and summarizing data, measures of central tendency and dispersion, normal and non-normal distributions, and different types of clinical research studies. The goal is to introduce basic statistical concepts in an accessible way for those without a statistics background.
The document summarizes a presentation on analyzing the heterogeneous impacts of Malawi's cash transfer program based on characteristics of children in households. It finds that impacts varied based on whether households had children, the sex and ages of children, and other child characteristics. For example, households with orphans or very young children (ages 0-4) experienced smaller impacts than the average. The analysis suggests explicitly considering child characteristics can provide insights to better target programs and improve child wellbeing outcomes.
The document analyzes the relationship between human birth rates and death rates in 18 countries. A scatter plot showed a strong negative correlation, indicating that higher birth rates were associated with lower death rates. Calculations for standard deviation, least squares regression, and Pearson's correlation coefficient supported this relationship. A chi-square test rejected independence, showing that birth and death rates were dependent. However, limitations included older data and lack of representation from all global regions. Overall, the analysis found an interdependent relationship between birth and death rates.

The document presents a time series analysis of life expectancy at birth in Pakistan using ARIMA models. It analyzes data from 1960-2012 to develop ARIMA models and forecasts life expectancy out to 2042. The best fitting model was found to be ARIMA (2,2,0) based on having the lowest AIC and SBIC values compared to other models tested. This model forecasts that life expectancy at birth in Pakistan will be 66.4489% in 2020 and will reach 62.256% by 2042. Residual diagnostics confirmed the best model satisfied assumptions of normality, independence and no autocorrelation.
This document discusses different methods for measuring multi-dimensional poverty for children using household survey data. It compares the properties of three indices: a simple "sum-count" index, the Alkire Foster index, and a "categorical counting" index. Through analysis of simulated and real survey data, it finds the categorical counting index exhibits issues like exaggeration, asymmetry, and nonlinear sensitivity to correlation between indicators compared to the other indices. These properties could impact its ability to reliably measure poverty levels, changes over time, and differences between groups as required for SDG monitoring. The results provide insight into how the different index properties should inform decisions around their optimal use.

This is a 2-hour timed closed book exam. You can use a calculator (not your phone) for calculations.
Questions:
1. Facebook remains the top choice of social media over all ages, with 65% using Facebook most often among those using social media sites. However, more visually oriented social networks such as Snapchat and Instagram continue to draw in younger audiences. When asked “Which one social networking site or service do you use most often?’’ here are the top sites chosen by Americans aged 12–24 who currently use any social networking site or service:
Social Media Site Percentage Who Use Most Often
Facebook 43%
Instagram 18%
Snapchat 15%
Twitter 8%
Google+ 4%
Pinterest 3%
a) What is the sum of the percentages for these top social media sites? What percent of Americans aged 12–24 use other social media sites most often?
b) Make a bar graph to display these data. Be sure to include an “Other social media site’’ category.
c) Would it be correct to display these data in a pie chart? Why or why not?
2. Table below gives the number of active nurses per 100,000 people in each state.
a) Why is the number of nurses per 100,000 people a better measure of the availability of nurses than a simple count of the number of nurses in a state?
b) Make a stemplot that displays the distribution of nurses per 100,000 people. The data will first need to be rounded. What units are you going to use for the stems? The leaves? You should round the data to the units you are planning to use for the leaves before drawing the stemplot. Write a brief description of the distribution. Are there any outliers? If so, can you explain them?

This document discusses adjuvant chemotherapy in luminal breast cancer and aims to determine which patients need chemotherapy and how much. It finds that:
- Postmenopausal patients with luminal breast cancer and a recurrence score of 0-25 by the 21-gene assay did not benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in any subgroup analyzed and can likely forego chemotherapy.
- Premenopausal patients with luminal breast cancer and a recurrence score of 0-25 benefited significantly from the addition of chemotherapy to endocrine therapy, with a 46% decrease in invasive disease-free survival events.
- The benefit of chemotherapy for premenopausal patients was observed across subgroups defined by recurrence score, number of positive nodes, and other factors.

Difference in Differences - Does Strict Speed Limit Restrictions Reduce Road ...ThinkInnovation
Objective
To identify the impact of speed limit restrictions in different constituencies over the years with the help of DID technique to conclude whether having strict speed limit restrictions can help to reduce the increasing number of road accidents on weekends.
Context*
Generally, on weekends people tend to spend time with their family and friends and go for outings, parties, shopping, etc. which results in an increased number of vehicles and crowds on the roads.
Over the years a rapid increase in road casualties was observed on weekends by the Government.
In the year 2005, the Government wanted to identify the impact of road safety laws, especially the speed limit restrictions in different states with the help of government records for the past 10 years (1995-2004), the objective was to introduce/revive road safety laws accordingly for all the states to reduce the increasing number of road casualties on weekends
* The Speed limit restriction can be observed before 2000 year as well, but the strict speed limit restriction rule was implemented from 2000 year to understand the impact
Strategies
Observe the Difference in Differences between ‘year’ >= 2000 & ‘year’ <2000
Observe the outcome from multiple linear regression by considering all the independent variables & the interaction term
Do People Really Know Their Fertility Intentions? Correspondence between Sel...Xiao Xu
Fertility intention data from surveys often serve as a crucial component in modeling fertility behaviors. Yet, the persistent gap between stated intentions and actual fertility decisions, coupled with the prevalence of uncertain responses, has cast doubt on the overall utility of intentions and sparked controversies about their nature. In this study, we use survey data from a representative sample of Dutch women. With the help of open-ended questions (OEQs) on fertility and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, we are able to conduct an in-depth analysis of fertility narratives. Specifically, we annotate the (expert) perceived fertility intentions of respondents and compare them to their self-reported intentions from the survey. Through this analysis, we aim to reveal the disparities between self-reported intentions and the narratives. Furthermore, by applying neural topic modeling methods, we could uncover which topics and characteristics are more prevalent among respondents who exhibit a significant discrepancy between their stated intentions and their probable future behavior, as reflected in their narratives.

1. LIFE EXPECTANCY: CAN IT BE PREDICTED?
By John C. Erickson
Spring 2014
Statistics Project—STAT 350
Presented to Dr. Elizabeth Johnson
George Mason University
2. Background
Many people & organizations are trying to help others either live
longer and/or more productive lives
United Nations Millenium Development Goals
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Gates’ donates money for computers to schools
Clean water programs are being established in Africa and some parts of
Asia
The Catholic church in Africa does a lot of medical work/hospitals,etc
Many western nations have advanced medical care and a good
economy
Yet it seems natural to think there are some relationships to be observed
between life span and other variables
What countries have obviously low-life spans? What can they tell us?
3. Abstract
Since most of us seem to care about the quality of life of others on this
planet, it is a worthwhile goal to conduct analysis of various factors to see if
lifespan can be predicted.
Hypothesis for this Study: Life Span can be predicted
Key Questions for this Study:
What factors predict life expectancy?
Does the country I live in, or other factors, affect my life span?
Does female literacy rate or GDP have anything to do with life span?
To answer the above, we focus on three explanatory (independent) variables:
1) Birth Rate; 2) GDP; 3) Female Literacy Rate. The response (dependent)
variable is life expectancy. The data collected is from over 220 countries.

-The goal: to predict life expectancy from GDP, female literacy rate, and/or birth rate. If
the data doesn’t let us do to not passing assumptions, produce descriptive statistics
5. Data Set
•There are 221 countries in the total data set (see exhibit B, “Data Set” attached). The data
was collected at the CIA Worldfactbook website located at
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
• The data was collected by manipulating data in Excel and then running descriptive statistics
and regression in Minitab.
6. Preliminary Analysis
Descriptive Statistics from Minitab
-The above descriptive statistics include the IQR (in case data is not normal).
See next slide for each variable’s boxplot distribution and description
7. Preliminary Analysis
Shape, Center, Spread
*Since the variables are all non-normal, the normal description (shape, center, and spread) of the data will be modified to
direction of skew, median value, and the range/IQR.
Interpretations:*
•Birth Rate is right skewed;
median births (per 1000 people)
is 16.88 children; IQR = 13.015
•GDP(billions) is strongly right
skewed ; median GDP of $32
billion; IQR = $192 billion
•Life Expectancy is slightly left
skewed ; with a median age of
74.25 years; IQR = 11.67
• Female literacy rate is
strongly left skewed; median
percentage is 92.30; IQR =
25.55.
8. Correlation
Interpretation:
-There appears to be a ….
-weak, negative correlation between GDP and Birth Rate.
-strong, negative correlation between Life Expectancy and Birth Rate.
-strong, negative correlation between Female Literacy Rate and Birth Rate.
- weak, positive correlation between Life Expectancy and GDP
- weak, positive correlation between Female Literacy and GDP.
-Conclusion: There appears to be correlation between life expectancy and birth rate and between life
expectancy and female literacy. (See scatterplots on the next slides).
9. Preliminary Analysis:
Scatterplot of Birth Rate vs GDP (Billions)
The above scatterplot is not normal. It is non-linear. This fails to meet the
assumption for simple and multiple regression.
10. Preliminary Analysis:
Life Expectancy vs GDP (Billions)
The above scatterplot is not normal. It is non-linear. This fails to meet the
assumption for simple and multiple regression.
11. Preliminary Analysis:
Life Expectancy vs Female Literacy Rate
The above scatterplot is not normal. It is non-linear. This fails to meet the
assumption for simple and multiple regression. However, there is a noticeable
cluster of high literacy rate nations with higher life expectancy nations.
13. Assumptions Check
Simple Regression Assumptions
The mean of the probability distribution
of e is 0.
The variance of the probability
distribution of e is constant for all values
of x.
The probability distribution of e is
normal.
The values of e associated with any two
observed values of y are independent.
The residual plots above show cause for concern. There is some
minor to medium curvature in the normal probability plot and some
minor appearance of a trend in the variance of the residuals (top right
corner). We will run the simple regression between life expectancy
and birth rate because it is the most normal of the scatterplots.
14. Simple Regression

R denotes an observation with a large standardized residual.
X denotes an observation whose X value gives it large
leverage.
-The regression equation is Life Expectancy = 87.0 – 0.781*Birth Rate. There are a
number of unusual observations, which is not surprising given the data is not normally
distributed. Note the “R” and “X” values in the residuals column above.
15. Fitted Line Plot: Simple Regression
- There is a strong indicator that many of the countries with high birth rates in the data
DO show a low life expectancy.
16. Possible Confounding Variables
For the Simple Regression Model
Healthcare /Hospital Care
Women in the workforce
War / Conflict areas
Drinking Water (potable water by region)
Sanitary Conditions
HIV / Diseases
Education level (by gender)
-This is a complex issue that most likely cannot be predicted with
just birth rates. However, it is our opinion that the birth rates are
indicators of something else: the level of healthcare and other
factors listed above that all potentially affect lifespan.
17. Other potential models?
Even if we added many more variables to avoid
confounding/lurking variables, the variables will be likely non-
normally distributed. This would require a non-parametric test(s).
Non-parametric regression possibilites..
Regression trees and splines
Gaussian / Kriging
Penalized Least Squares
Kernel regression
Multiplicative regression
-Since the simple regression was borderline unacceptable
due to some problems with passing the assumptions, we can
analyze the data by way of descriptive statistics

22. Limitations of this Study
Non-normality of data
Too little variables to accurately answer the
original question. This topic requires much
more data and many more explantory
variables.
Skills of the student not enough for non-
parametric regression
23. Interesting Areas for Further Research
(Life Expectancy)
Human Development Index (HDI) developed
by the UN.
UN Millenium Development Goals
Clean cook stoves (many women die of
cooking food over dung-fires, and their
children are exposed to it)
Health care in Africa—it does seem the lowest
life spans are mostly African countries and yet
they have the most children
24. Lessons Learned
The real world has “messy” data. This study proved to be no exception to that
rule. Collecting the data was easy; the hard part is cleaning the data for
statistical modeling. The most I could do in this study was descriptive statistics.
If I had more time, I could break the countries down by continent, region, or by
GDP groupings, and do more analysis by those groups. Once they were in
those groups, I could try to do see if the data became linear in the scatterplots
and run two-way ANOVA tests for means.
Also, I stumbled upon the United Nation’s Human Development Index, which
takes into account almost all the necessary variables required for a truly
meaningful statistical study into life expectancy. I did not realize that my
interest in life expectancy, GDP, birth rate, etc are something that the United
Nations looks at very seriously each year and the HDI is a very good tool when
looking at the world’s countries.
I would like to seriously consider taking additional classes in non-parametric
statistics. Since real-world data seems to be “messier” than in-class examples,
this is probably a good skill to have (at least for predictions).
25. Conclusion
Birth rate is a good indicator of life
expectancy, but NOT a good predictor. With
more variables and advanced regression
techniques, a good statistical model for
prediction could be found.
