Exploratory Data Analysis
1.1. EDA Introduction 1.1.2. How Does Exploratory Data Analysis differ from Classical Data Analysis?
|
|||
| Classical | The classical approach imposes models (both deterministic and probabilistic) on the data. Deterministic models include, for example, regression models and analysis of variance (ANOVA) models. The most common probabilistic model assumes that the errors about the deterministic model are normally distributed--this assumption affects the validity of the ANOVA F tests. | ||
| Exploratory | The Exploratory Data Analysis approach does not impose deterministic or probabilistic models on the data. On the contrary, the EDA approach allows the data to suggest admissible models that best fit the data. | ||
