    • Therefore, we can learn much more by displaying the bivariate data in a graphical form that maintains the pairing. shows a scatter plot of the paired ages.
    • The presence of qualitative data leads to challenges in graphing bivariate relationships.
    • Compare the strengths and weaknesses of the various methods used to graph bivariate data.
  • Introduction to comparing two relations for the same set of actors

    • The basic question of bivariate descriptive statistics applied to variables is whether scores on one attribute align (co-vary, correlate) with scores on another attribute, when compared across cases.
    • The basic question of bivariate analysis of network data is whether the pattern of ties for one relation among a set of actors aligns with the pattern of ties for another relation among the same actors.
    • Three of the most common tools for bivariate analysis of attributes can also be applied to the bivariate analysis of relations:
  • Introduction to Bivariate Data

    • A dataset with two variables contains what is called bivariate data.
    • In this chapter we consider bivariate data, which for now consists of two quantitative variables for each individual.Our first interest is in summarizing such data in a way that is analogous to summarizing univariate (single variable) data.
    • We can learn much more by displaying the bivariate data in a graphical form that maintains the pairing.
  • Introduction

    • The type of data described in the examples is bivariate data - "bi" for two variables.
  • Summary

  • Lab 2: Regression (Textbook Cost)

    • Collect bivariate data (number of pages in a textbook, the cost of the textbook).
  • Regression Toward the Mean: Estimation and Prediction

    • Regression towards the mean can be defined for any bivariate distribution with identical marginal distributions.
    • Not all such bivariate distributions show regression towards the mean under this definition.
    • However, all such bivariate distributions show regression towards the mean under the other definition.
