Unlocking Data Secrets: How Descriptive Statistics Shape Our Understanding of the World
Descriptive statistics are numbers that help us understand a group of data. They show us things like the average, the most common number, and how spread out the data is. In regular statistics, we use these numbers to compare different sets of data. In spatial statistics, we adjust these numbers to work with maps and locations. Some common spatial statistics include finding the middle point, how spread out the data is, and drawing an ellipse around the data.
