Types of Statistical Analysis

Distinguish between univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistical analysis.

Univariate analysis

Univariate analysis is one of the primary forms of data analysis techniques. If we break down the term, “uni” means one and “variate” indicates variable. This means that it deals with only one variable and doesn’t consider the cause-and-effect relationship. As a result, we only explore each variable separately and don’t consider what the effect of variable x is on variable y. Univariate analysis helps us find patterns within data. We can perform it for both categorical and numerical variables.

We can use a variety of central tendency measures, including mean, median, mode, dispersion, and others, to find patterns within data. In addition, we can visualize univariate data using pie charts, histograms, bar charts, and so on.
