| Summary: | This report records a set of statistical diary-style data analysis for better understanding
social networks in Singapore. The contact data was first obtained from surveys
conducted in Singapore. Each survey focused on specific methodologica l questions
related to the number of contacts encountered during 2 weekdays and 1 weekend or 2
weekends and 1 weekday. Subsequently, data category and tabulation were done with
respect to the different ages, genders, contact types and days. Finally, the statistical
computing and graphics were analyzed and investigated using R program. The
analysis suggests that genders make no significant differences to the total contact
numbers. It is evident from the findings that the contact patterns occurring over the
different weekdays had a significant impact on the components of analyses. The
observed pattern of social contacts reveals a strong preference for contacting other
persons of similar age. |
