Abstract

The amount of data generated by the connection between a mobile terminal and the cellular network is high, and analyzing their behavior is a subject of research for several authors. But before starting an analysis, it is essential to perform a statistical analysis of the dataset, which should have been previously preprocessed, to know the behavior of the variables that make up the database. This article presents the statistical analysis of the measurements of the parameters of the cellular network in Quito city, collected from cellular applications. First, the data and analysis tools are described, in this case, Python and some libraries, then some statistical analyses are developed using graphs, which facilitate their interpretation. As result, we identified the variables that define the behavior of the data and whether they present an adequate distribution to obtain quality information. In addition, the correlation of the significant variables with the other variables was determined.
