Design elements - Stratification diagram

The vector stencils library "Stratification diagram" contains 8 multiseries scatterplot templates.
Use it to design your stratification diagrams with ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"In statistics, stratified sampling is a method of sampling from a population.
In statistical surveys, when subpopulations within an overall population vary, it is advantageous to sample each subpopulation (stratum) independently. Stratification is the process of dividing members of the population into homogeneous subgroups before sampling. The strata should be mutually exclusive: every element in the population must be assigned to only one stratum. The strata should also be collectively exhaustive: no population element can be excluded. Then simple random sampling or systematic sampling is applied within each stratum. This often improves the representativeness of the sample by reducing sampling error. It can produce a weighted mean that has less variability than the arithmetic mean of a simple random sample of the population." [Stratified sampling. Wikipedia]
The stratification is one of the Seven Basic Tools of Quality. [Seven Basic Tools of Quality. Wikipedia]
The example of multiseries scatterplot templates "Design elements - Stratification diagram" is included in the Seven Basic Tools of Quality solution from the Quality area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This example was drawn on the base of fig. 13 "Scatter plot of DCAPE versus 0-6 km mean wind" from the article "Examination of Derecho Environments Using Proximity Soundings" by Jeffry S. Evans on the website of Storm Prediction Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"Figure 13 suggests the existence of an inverse relationship between DCAPE and mean wind when considering all derechos. Careful examination of this figure shows that this is the result of the separation into SF, WF, and hybrid categories; the SF cases are found in the upper left part of the figure, the WF cases are found in the lower right part, and the hybrid cases are in between, with some hint that they are more like the WF cases than the SF cases."

"In stratified sampling, the population is partitioned into non-overlapping groups, called strata and a sample is selected by some design within each stratum. ...
The principal reasons for using stratified random sampling rather than simple random sampling include:
1. Stratification may produce a smaller error of estimation than would be produced by a simple random sample of the same size. This result is particularly true if measurements within strata are very homogeneous.
2. The cost per observation in the survey may be reduced by stratification of the population elements into convenient groupings.
3. Estimates of population parameters may be desired for subgroups of the population. These subgroups should then be identified." [onlinecourses.science.psu.edu/ stat506/ node/ 27]
The multiserial scatterplot "Starification diagram example" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO software extended with the Seven Basic Tools of Quality solution from the Quality area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The library of vector stencils "Fishbone diagrams" contains 13 symbols for drawing the Ishikawa diagrams using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Ishikawa diagrams were popularized by Kaoru Ishikawa in the 1960s, who pioneered quality management processes in the Kawasaki shipyards, and in the process became one of the founding fathers of modern management.
The basic concept was first used in the 1920s, and is considered one of the seven basic tools of quality control. It is known as a fishbone diagram because of its shape, similar to the side view of a fish skeleton." [Ishikawa diagram. Wikipedia]
"The Seven Basic Tools of Quality is a designation given to a fixed set of graphical techniques identified as being most helpful in troubleshooting issues related to quality. They are called basic because they are suitable for people with little formal training in statistics and because they can be used to solve the vast majority of quality-related issues.
The seven tools are:
(1) Cause-and-effect diagram (also known as the "fishbone" or Ishikawa diagram);
(2) Check sheet;
(3) Control chart;
(4) Histogram;
(5) Pareto chart;
(6) Scatter diagram;
(7) Stratification (alternately, flow chart or run chart)." [Seven Basic Tools of Quality. Wikipedia]
