Certainly! When dealing with both numerical and categorical data, there are several formulas and methods you can use to aggregate and analyze your data on a monthly or yearly basis. Here are some examples:

Numerical Data

Numerical data can be aggregated using various statistical measures like sum, mean, median, etc.

Example: Calculate Monthly Total and Average Hours Studied

Suppose you have daily data for hours studied in a month.

| Date | Hours Studied | |------------|---------------| | 2024-07-01 | 4 | | 2024-07-02 | 3 | | ... | ... | | 2024-07-31 | 2 |

Formulas:

1. Monthly Total: [ \text{Total Hours Studied (July)} = \sum_{i=1}^{31} \text{Hours Studied}_i ]

2. Monthly Average: [ \text{Average Hours Studied (July)} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{31} \text{Hours Studied}_i}{31} ]

Example: Calculate Yearly Total and Median Mood Rating

Suppose you have daily data for mood ratings on a scale of 1 to 10.

| Date | Mood Rating | |------------|-------------| | 2024-01-01 | 7 | | 2024-01-02 | 6 | | ... | ... | | 2024-12-31 | 8 |

Formulas:

1. Yearly Total: [ \text{Total Mood Rating (2024)} = \sum_{i=1}^{365} \text{Mood Rating}_i ]

2. Yearly Median:

   • Arrange all mood ratings in ascending order.
   • If the number of observations (n) is odd, the median is the middle number: [ \text{Median Mood Rating} = \text{Mood Rating}_{\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)} ]
   • If n is even, the median is the average of the two middle numbers: [ \text{Median Mood Rating} = \frac{\text{Mood Rating}{\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)} + \text{Mood Rating}{\left(\frac{n}{2} + 1\right)}}{2} ]

Categorical Data

Categorical data can be aggregated using frequency counts and mode.

Example: Calculate Monthly Frequency of Task Completion

Suppose you have data on whether a task was completed each day.

| Date | Task Completed (Yes/No) | |------------|-------------------------| | 2024-07-01 | Yes | | 2024-07-02 | No | | ... | ... | | 2024-07-31 | Yes |

Formulas:

1. Monthly Frequency:

   • Count the number of "Yes" and "No" entries for the month.

   [ \text{Frequency of Yes (July)} = \sum_{i=1}^{31} \text{(Task Completed}i == \text{"Yes"}) ] [ \text{Frequency of No (July)} = \sum{i=1}^{31} \text{(Task Completed}_i == \text{"No"}) ]

2. Monthly Mode:

   • The mode is the value that appears most frequently.
   • If "Yes" appears more frequently than "No," then the mode is "Yes," and vice versa.

Example: Calculate Yearly Count of Different Categories

Suppose you have data on the type of exercise performed each day (e.g., Running, Yoga, Gym).

| Date | Exercise Type | |------------|---------------| | 2024-01-01 | Running | | 2024-01-02 | Yoga | | ... | ... | | 2024-12-31 | Gym |

Formulas:

1. Yearly Count:

   • Count the occurrences of each category (Running, Yoga, Gym).

   [ \text{Count of Running (2024)} = \sum_{i=1}^{365} \text{(Exercise Type}i == \text{"Running"}) ] [ \text{Count of Yoga (2024)} = \sum{i=1}^{365} \text{(Exercise Type}i == \text{"Yoga"}) ] [ \text{Count of Gym (2024)} = \sum{i=1}^{365} \text{(Exercise Type}_i == \text{"Gym"}) ]
