Creating a StatCrunch report Video Lecture - Statcrunch Tutorials for Beginners

hello folks Webster West here and this
is a short video in creating a nicely
formatted statcrunch report i'll start
with the data set entitled responses to
opinions on h1n1 which things shared on
the statcrunch site if you'd like to
take a look later on your own the data
set represents responses to a survey
conducted on the statcrunch site let's
focus on the first column in this
dataset which indicates whether or not
the respondent is concerned about
contracting h1n1 let's start by
constructing a pie chart this column by
going to the graphics and choosing the
pie chart with data option simply select
the concern column and then click create
graph we then see a pie chart which
shows that most respondents were not
concerned about contracting h1n1 let's
export this pie chart to our my results
folder so we can include it in our
report go to the options menu and choose
the export to my results option let's
title the result pie chart of concern
about h1n1 and then click export the
last column in the data set indicates
whether not respond it was a student
let's see how concerned about h1n1
varies between students and non-students
by creating a bar plot of the student
column grouped by the concern column to
do so go to the graphics menu and choose
the bar plot with data option simply
select the student column and then group
by concern and then click create graph
the resulting bar pop shows us those
concern in red and those not concerned
in blue most student respondents shown
above the yes label on the x-axis we're
not concerned about h1n1 but most not on
student respondents shown above the no
label on the x-axis were concerned let's
export this pie chart to our my results
folder so we can include it as well in
our report as before go to the options
menu and choose the export to my results
option let's title a result bar plot of
student status grouped by concern about
h1n1 and then click export
now let's create our report which will
include the data set and the two results
that we generated to get started go to
the my statcrunch drop-down and choose
the my reports option then from the
left-hand menu choose to create a new
report option and the report editing
screen that follows let's tile our
report our folks concerned about h1n1 if
we wanted to share our report with
everyone or with specific statcrunch
groups then we could consider the
sharing options in this case I will
share this report with everyone when you
do share a report is a good idea to use
tag so that folks can more easily find
the report when searching in this case
I'll simply tag the result with health
flu and h1n1 now let's drop down and
edit the body of our report by simply
typing our content into this text box in
this case I'll simply paste in pieces
that I've already typed into a text
editor so if yours won't have to wait
for me to type it in let's start with
the statement this report will focus on
the data below which was collected via
statcrunch survey about the h1n1 virus
and then on the next line below the
statement let's type the data tag less
than data 1 greater than so that the
data set which will specify Milou as
data set 1 will be positioned at this
point in the report then on a next line
let's enter the statement the pie chart
shown below suggests that most
respondents were not concerned about
h1n1 then below this statement let's
enter the result tag less than result 1
greater than so that our pie chart which
we will specify the lowest result 1 will
be positioned here in the report next
let's enter the statement the grouped
bar pot shows below shows that most
student respondents were not concerned
about h1n1 while most non student
respondents were concerned let's follow
this statement with the result 2 tag
less than result 2 greater than on the
next line
so there are grouped bar plot which will
we will define as a result 2 below we
position here in the report note that we
could format the text
our port using the editor tools if we so
desire now let's drop down and select
our data sets and results let's start
with the results for result 1 we select
our pie chart and for result 2 we select
our grouped bar plot now for the data
set we select the h1n1 data set for data
set 1 if we had not included any data
set tags or any result tags in the body
of our report the data set and results
we select it would simply be appended to
the bottom of the report why don't we
also add a thumbnail image to our report
for some visual interest let's do a
quick Flickr search on h1n1 and see what
we find
ok let's click on the policeman with the
masks for our thumbnail and that's
pretty much it
now let's click on the save option and
view the report we have created we see
we have a very simple report with a few
statements and our data sets and results
positioned appropriately to make changes
just click the edit link and then change
the fields which we've just discussed
that's it
