Find out what Table 1 means and the role it plays in a descriptive analysis.
- [Instructor] Welcome to chapter four,…section four, where you finally learn…what Table 1 is.…First, I'm going to describe to you what Table 1 is.…I'm going to also describe univariate, bivariate…and multivariate analyses, and how Table 1…and descriptive analysis fits in those definitions.…I'm going to show you how I set up a table shell…in Excel to show you what a Table 1 is,…and how it's going to look when we are done.…We'll go over how I made the table shell…in the next chapter.…
So, I'm just giving you a sneak peek now.…Okay, I promised I'd explain to you what Table 1 is.…I want to be clear that we call it Table 1,…but sometimes it's actually Table 2 or 3.…If you put a table earlier in the report,…then you can't really call it Table 1.…But the reason we refer to it in the industry…as Table 1 is that this should be the first part…of your results.…A lot of people don't realize that you always need…a descriptive analysis, even if you plan to later go on…and do a regression, or multivariate analysis.…
And remember, we aren't looking at the whole data set…
