Create a Descriptive Analysis

You can create a descriptive analysis in two ways. The first is through the menu bar, and the second is by dragging the column you want to analyze to the analysis panel.

Menu Bar

1. Click on "Create Analysis"
2. Then click on "Create descriptive statistics"

You will notice that a new analysis appears in the right panel.

Drag and Drop

1. Drag the column you want to analyze to the analysis panel
2. Drop the column in the area labeled "Drop for statistics"

Configure the Descriptive Analysis

Selecting Metrics

Once the analysis has been created, you can configure it by clicking on the metrics you want to display. There are three categories of metrics:

• Measures of Central Tendency: This section includes the mean, mode, and median.
• Dispersion: This group includes the range, variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and interquartile range.
• Quartiles and Percentiles: This section contains quartiles and percentiles.

Stratifying the Data

With QSuite you can stratify data very easily, which allows you to uncover hidden patterns. To do this, simply go to the "Split by" section and select from the dropdown list the variable you want to use to stratify your data.

Analyzing More Than One Data Column

With QSuite you can create statistical metrics for more than one column at a time. To do this, simply go to the "Columns" section and drag all the columns you want to analyze to the right-hand zone.

The results for each column will be displayed in a separate table, as shown in the image below.

Viewing the Results

After selecting the metrics, close the configuration area to view your results. If you chose to stratify the data, you will notice that the results table shows one column for each category of the variable used for stratification.

Descriptive Analysis of Categorical Variables

With QSuite you can also create descriptive analyses of categorical data, but with limitations. When you choose a column typed as categorical, you will only be able to use two metrics: count and mode. The remaining metrics will appear disabled.
