Instructor Review

This is coming along very nicely! I appreciate the organization and the examples. Here are some things to address before it is ready to go:

1. The grammar needs to be cleaned up throughout the document. Perhaps sitting down and reading it out loud to each other will help you catch mistakes - like missing articles ('the') or awkward phrasing.

2. The formatting needs to be cleaned up. There are spacing missing or extra spaces in some places.

3. Under "Frequency," provide the list of numbers first: In this list of numbers {1,1,1,2,3,3,...}, the frequency of 9 is...

4. Figures:

Only have one variable for the bar chart (instead of 4) to emphasize univariate

Shade the bars in the histogram

Increase the font of the x and y axis labels in both figures

5. Under "Histograms," divide the one sentence into two sentences. Those are really two different ideas.

6. When you are talking about measures of central tendancy, there is a non-specific sentence that starts "The important thing is..." This and the following sentence should be re-written to be more specific. Under what circumstances would using more than one measure be wise?

7. The section "Ways to describe Univeriate" is redundant and should be deleted.

Keep up the good work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichelleWiest (talk • contribs) 22:48, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey there! I reviewed your article on univariate and have a few suggestions.

First of all, the article can be condensed much more. There is a lot of information in the introduction that is repeated in other parts of the article. By removing some of these repeats, the article will be easier to read and more direct.

You also have a paragraph on multivariate data--since you did tag it, you probability don't need as much information that you provided on the subject (because it is an article on univariate data).

The definition provided in the first paragraph was a little bit confusing--the 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence did a bit of a better job to define the subject. the first paragraph was rather wordy and jargon-y.

Overall, though, it was a good article! Lots of really good information. Lond6846 (talk) 18:02, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

With regard to the article, I found that it was written in a very clear, concise manner. It is easy to understand. There is not much jargon and concepts in it, A phrase I liked was when the author defined what 'uni' means to someone who may not know that it is a Greek word meaning 'one'. Therefore, it is easy to remember that 'univariate' refers to one variable. There are my suggestion : this topic is very open and you can add more information like principle of univariate.

good luck and keep going, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noeer Alotaibi (talk • contribs) 06:03, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
