XLStatistics Overview: The Data Analysis Workbooks

The XLStatistics Data Analysis Workbooks


The XLStatistics Analysis Workbooks are designed with an important key fact in mind:
The statistical analysis of data depends to a very large extent on the number and
type of variables involved in the investigation.
And there are only two types of variables that you initially need be concerned with:
-
Numerical (Num) variables. When we measure a numerical variable we get a
number. For example, 'Temperature' is a numerical variable.
-
Categorical (Cat) variables. When we measure a categorical variable we get a
label for a category. For example, 'Sex' is a categorical variable.
XLStatistics has separate workbooks for analysis of data comprising variables of these
two types. The workbooks are named according to the number and type of variables
they are intended to analyse, so that the workbook 1Num1Cat, for instance, is
designed for the analysis of data with 1 Numerical variable and 1 Categorical variable.
The workbooks in the set are: 1Num, 1Cat, 2Num, 1Num1Cat, 2Cat, 2Num1Cat,
1Num2Cat, nNum, nNum1Cat, 1NumnCat, nCat. Further help on using each of these
is in the files themselves.

The Other XLStatistics Workbooks


The Other Workbooks in XLStatistics provide some additional tools that you might
find useful:

PDF Can be used to determine probabilities of events with various associated


Probability Distribution and Density Functions.

Control Contains analyses of data using control charts of various types.

SampSel Used to create sample data.

Transfrm For transforming data before analysis.

Populate Analyses of data for a whole population.

Further help on using each of these is in the files themselves.

XLStatistics Overview: Quick start steps - 1

Quick start step 1: Open XLStatistics.xlam (Excel 2007) or


XLStats.xls (Excel 5-2003).
Open the XLStatistics file from within Excel or double-click on the file's icon.

You may be warned that the workbook contains macros; if you are, click 'Enable
macros'.

The XLStatistics ribbon (Excel 2007) or Launch-pad and menu (Excel 5-2003) will
appear.

XLStatistics Overview: Quick start steps - 2

Quick start step 2: Hide Launch-pad (Excel 5-2003, optional).

The XLStatistics Launch-pad (with buttons for accessing the various XLStatistics
workbooks) shows the overall structure of XLStatistics, with different workbooks for
analysis of data with different numbers and types of variables. But it is more
convenient to access the workbooks from the XLStatistics menu. To help avoid any
confusion you may wish to hide the Launch-pad by clicking the button labeled 'Hide
Launch-pad' (lower right of window). The XLStatistics menu will remain on Excel's
main menu bar not matter what.

(In Excel 2007 the XLStatistics ribbon replaces the laundpad/menu combination.)

XLStatistics Overview: Quick start steps - 3

Quick start step 3: Organize your data in a data matrix.

For analysis, your data should normally be recorded on a sheet in an Excel file,
organized in a matrix with
- the variables in columns
- each row corresponding to a separate case.

There must be one header row at the top containing the names of the variables.
Variable names can be any character string.

Columns containing numerical variables should contain numbers (though any non-
numbers will be ignored in the analysis).

Columns containing categorical variables can contain any labels - descriptive words
like 'Female' or 'Male' or codes like '0' and '1'.

There is no limit (other than limits imposed by Excel) on the number of columns
(variables) and rows (cases).

Close

Page 17
XLStatisticsOverview7-1

XLStatistics Overview: Quick start steps - 4

Quick start step 4: Highlight the data in your data matrix.

Use your mouse or keyboard to highlight one rectangular block of data, making sure
to cover the variables you wish to analyse and including the header row with the
names of the variables.

The variables you wish to analyse do not need to be in adjacent columns - simply
highlight all intermediate variables as well if they are not. You can highlight whole
columns - XLStatistics will then use the largest rectangular block in the selected
columns that contain data.

You cannot select multiple areas (using Ctrl-click, for example) - only one rectangular
block of contiguous cells can be highlighted.

Close

Page 18
XLStatisticsOverview8-1

XLStatistics Overview: Quick start steps - 5

Quick start step 5: Select the appropriate analysis workbook


from the XLStatistics ribbon or menu.
The appropriate workbook depends on the number and type of the variables you wish
to analyse. The type can be either numerical (Num) or Categorical (Cat).

Ignore any extra variables you may have highlighted in Step 4 above when deciding
what workbook to use - consider only the variables you wish to analyse. After you
have selected the appropriate workbook, the workbook will be opened and the data
linked to it.

XLStatisticsOverview9-1

XLStatistics Overview: Quick start steps - 6

Quick start step 6: (If necessary) select the variables you wish
to analyse.
If you had highlighted a number of extra variables in Step 4 (other than the ones you
wish to analyse) or if you wish to analyse different variables, use the drop-down boxes
in Row 2 near the top of the Data area to select your variables.

If the analysis workbook is for a combination of numerical and categorical variable(s),


a small N or C in a column at the top of the Data area indicates the type of variable
that must go in the column.

Quick start step 7: View results and adjust their appearance if


necessary.
Most analyses appropriate for your variables are carried out automatically on sheets
in the XLStatistics workbooks. Most workbooks contain links to other workbooks that
contain further results if needed.

You may need or want to make some adjustments to the provided analyses. Text that
you can safely alter is in blue and there are usually checkboxes, etc, that can be used
to alter the basic analyses that are provided. You may need to alter formatting of cells
(the number of decimals places that are displayed, for example) or charts (to place
legends as you want them, for example).

Cliquez sur le raccourci ou ouvrir simplement le classeur Excel en cliquant dessus. S’il
y a un avertissement que le dossier contient des macros, les activer. Il n’y aura pas de
changement définitif à votre installation. La feuille de démarrage de XLStatistics
apparaîtra, et un menu est ajouté dans la barre de menu principale d’Excel.

Quick start step 2: Feuille de démarrage (Excel 5-2003,


facultative).
La feuille de démarrage « Launchpad » est une bonne manière de voir la structure
globale de XLStatistics, avec différents classeurs pour l'analyse des données selon le
nombre et le type de variable. Mais il est plus commode d'accéder toujours aux
classeurs par le menu déroulant de XLStatistics. On peut alors cacher la feuille de
démarrage avec le bouton ‘Hide Launch-pad’ en bas à droite, et utiliser le menu dans
la barre Excel.

Quick start step 3: Organiser vos données dans un classeur


séparé.
Vos données doivent être stockées dans un classeur de travail séparé, organisé dans
une matrice avec les variables dans les colonnes et chaque rangée correspondant à
un cas séparé. Il doit y avoir une rangée d'en-tête contenant les noms des variables.
Les colonnes contenant des variables numériques doivent contenir des nombres (les
non-nombres seront ignorés dans l'analyse). Les colonnes contenant des variables
catégorielles doivent contenir des étiquettes (ou « labels ») - mots descriptifs comme
‘femme’ et ‘homme’ ou des codes comme le ‘0’ et ‘1’. Les noms des variables
numériques ou catégorielles peuvent être n'importe quelle chaîne de caractères.

Quick start step 4: Sélectionner les données sur votre feuille de


travail de l'étape 3.
Sélectionner un bloc de données en veillant à couvrir exactement les variables qu’on
souhaite analyser, et incluant la rangée d'en-tête avec les noms des variables. Les
variables que l’on souhaite analyser n'ont pas besoin d'être dans des colonnes
adjacentes - inclure simplement toutes les colonnes qui sont au milieu, même si elles
ne sont pas analysées. On ne peut pas sélectionner des blocs multiples – il faut un
seul bloc de cellules contiguës.

Femer

Page 30
XLStatisticsOverview8-33

XLStatistics Overview: Quick start steps - 5

Quick start step 5: Choisir le classeur approprié d'analyse à


partir du menu de XLStatistics.
Le classeur XLStatistics approprié dépend du nombre et du type de variables que l’on
souhaite analyser. Le type peut être Num: numérique (continue) ou Cat : catégorielle
(discontinue). Les variables supplémentaires qu’on a pu sélectionner dans l'étape 4 ci-
dessus (car elles sont coincées entre des colonnes intéressantes) sont ignorées pour
décider quel classeur employer - considérer seulement les variables qu’on souhaite
analyser. Le bon classeur XLStatistics sera alors ouvert et les données seront liées à la
zone de données Data.

mauvais ordre, utiliser les petits menus déroulants dans la deuxième ligne en haut de
la zone de données pour sélectionner les variables.

Quick start step 7: Regarder et compléter l’analyse.

La plupart des analyses appropriées pour vos variables sont effectuées


automatiquement sur les différentes feuilles du classeur de XLStatistics choisi, mais il
faut souvent faire des ajustements. Le texte que l’on peut sans risque changer est en
bleu, et il y souvent des cases à cocher, un nombre de décimales à afficher, etc. On
peut changer le formatage des cellules et des graphiques. Il y a des liens vers
d'autres classeurs qui contiennent des résultats supplémentaires si nécessaire.

Femer

Quick start step 8: Sauvegarder vos résultats.

Ne jamais sauvegarder directement le classeur de travail de XLStatistics (!) – copier


les résultats requis dans une autre feuille Excel ou dans Word, Powerpoint etc. On
peut copier-coller (en utilisant toujours Copier-Coller Spécial… Image). Mais il est plus
facile d’utiliser la fonction « Record » de XLStatistics, comme suit :

Fonction « Record » : choisir à la souris un résultat


(cellules ou tables) ou cliquer pour sélectionner (dans le
cas de graphiques), puis utiliser « Record » dans le
menu de XLStatistics. Les résultats choisis sont copiés
comme images dans la colonne A d’une feuille appelée
‘XLStatistics Record’, ajoutée au classeur d’origine des XLStatistics Record Facility
données. Au fur et à mesure que les résultats sont
enregistrés sur la même feuille, on peut ajouter des
commentaires dans la colonne adjacente B. Astuce :

seulement le tracé ou la légende etc., cliquez dessus en
gardant la touche Ctrl enfoncée.

2. Select Record from the XLStatistics ribbon or menu.

The selected results are copied as pictures to cells in Column A in a sheet named 'XLStatistics

about each result in the adjacent Column B, or copy the picture from the sheet and paste into
Word for a report.

Many results can recorded onto the same 'XLStatistics Record' sheet. They normally appear in
successive rows in Column A, but actually the XLStatistics Record facility saves the next result
into the first "narrow" row it finds on the 'XLStatistics Record' sheet (a narrow row is one that is
no higher than a row on a normal new Excel sheet). So you can control the order with which
results are saved by inserting narrow rows. You can also group related results on different
sheets - XLStatistics will only record onto a sheet called 'XLStatistics Record'.

XLStatistics Movie
The following movie presents a Guide to XLStatistics.

To keep the size of the file as small as possible, the movie was recorded with no audio
(captions only) on a 640 x 480 VGA screen. This is a very small screen by modern standards,
so the toolbars in Excel have been hidden to get as much useable screen area as possible. If
your computer screen is set differently the appearance of Excel and/or XLStatistics may be
slightly different. The movie does not play on a Macintosh, sorry.

The name of the movie file is XLSGuide.scm. It was recorded using Lotus ScreenCam and is
viewed using the ScreenCam movie player (SCPlayer.exe), distributed with XLStatistics. While
the movie is playing, the Lotus ScreenCam window will appear that has some basic controls
(pause, fastforward, rewind).
