Commonly Applied Statistical Methods
Introduction
 Food issues are becoming important to consumers, most of
who depend on the food industry and other food workers
to provide safe, nutritious and palatable products
 Data obtained not only from laboratory experiments, but
also via surveys on consumers, as they are the users and
receivers of the end products
Introduction
 Understanding such diverse information demands an ability
to be at least aware of the process of analyzing data and
interpreting results
Statistical Analysis
 Statistical analysis refers to the analysis of data collected to
derive patterns, trends, or other meaningful conclusions. It
involves the use of statistical methods of data analysis
Statistical Analysis
 Basic statistical concepts such as population size, sample
size, sample space, variance, distribution, standard
deviation, T-tests, hypothesis and so on are much needed in
food technology to provide safe and quality food for
consumers and people
Types of Statistical Analysis
Main types
 Descriptive statistical analysis

 Inferential statistics
Descriptive Statistical Analysis
It refers to collecting, organizing, analyzing, and summarizing
data sets in an understandable format, like charts, graphs,
and tables. It makes a large data set presentable and
eliminates complexity to help analysts understand it. The
format of the summary can be quantitative or visual
Inferential Statistical Analysis
Inferential statistics derive inference about a large
population. It is based on the analysis and findings produced
for sample data from the large population
Types of Statistical Analysis
Other types
 Predictive analysis

 Prescriptive analysis

 Exploratory data analysis

 Causal analysis
Predictive Analysis
This analysis is used to forecast future events based on past
and present data. It uses machine learning tools, data
mining, big data, predictive modeling, artificial intelligence,
and simulations
Prescriptive Analysis
This analysis aims to prescribe the best possible outcome
based on the assessed data. It helps make informed
decisions and encourages efficient decision-making
Exploratory Data Analysis
In statistics, this method studies data sets to highlight their
major features, which is frequently done using statistical
graphics and other data visualization approaches
Casual Analysis
It focuses on the cause and effect. In simple terms, it focuses
on the crux of events occurring and the reason behind them;
based on data analysis, it aids in understanding why
something didn’t work out and failures in business and
professional activities
Methods of Statistical Analysis
 Mean

 Standard Deviation

 Regression

 Hypothesis Testing

 Sample Size Determination


Mean

It is one of the simplest and most popular analysis methods


easy to apply to data. The mean is the average value of data
used in research. In statistics, the term “mean” is commonly
used to indicate average. It is calculated by adding the data
values and dividing them by the total number of data points
Standard Deviation
It is a common statistical analysis tool to determine the
deviation of a set of values from the mean value. The
standard deviation value will be low if the deviation from the
mean is small and vice versa
Regression
The regression method helps comprehend the relationship
between two or more variables used in the analysis. It shows
how one variable is dependent on the other and their inter
effect on each other
Hypothesis Testing
The method tests the validity and authenticity of a
hypothesis, outcome, or argument. Hypothesis testing is an
assumption set at the beginning of the research; after the
test is over and a result is obtained based on it, the belief can
be either true or false
Sample Size Determination
The technique derives a sample from the entire population,
representing the total population. When there is a large data
set, and the analysis gets challenging, a small sample is taken
for study and research
Statistical Software
SPSS

SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences)


SPSS is the most widely used powerful software for complex
statistical data analysis
