STATISTICAL RESEARCH
- Analyzing The Data
- In this stage, we interpret the data to find some conclusion.
- The purpose of Data Analysis is to
extract useful information from data and
taking the decision based upon the data
analysis
- The major Data Analysis methods are:
- Text Analysis
- Prescriptive Analysis
- Diagnostic Analysis
- Data Organizing
- Here, we put the data in some systematic order.
- Techniques for data organization include:
- Mind-mapping:
- Affinity diagrams.
- Card sorting
- Data organization helps us to
arrange the data in order
that we can easily read and
work..
- Data Planning
- A data planning process ensures that all aspects of data management are explored at
the start of a project
- Effective management of data provides researchers with many benefits as:
- Time saved through reduced duplication of effort
- increased researcher profile through data dissemination and re-use
- Decreased risk of loss, theft or inappropriate use of data
- A data planning process is particularly important in the
context of collaborative research projects.
- Results Presentation
- In this stage the data are presented by graphs, diagrams, tables, etc.
- When presenting the data, some form of a written report is essential
- When presenting results, the format of the presentation
should be tailored to address the aims and objectives of the
survey and to satisfy the potential users of the results
- The presentation needs to be effective, easy to understand and convey the main features of the data.
- Data Collection
- It refers to gather some statisticas facts by
different methods.
- During data collection, the researchers must identify the data types,
the sources of data, and what methods are being used.
- Among the effects of data collection done incorrectly, include the following:
- Erroneous conclusions that squander resource
- The study's inability to be replicated and validated
- Incapacity to correctly respond to research inquiries
- The approach of data collection is different for different fields of study, depending on the required information
- Accurate data collecting is crucial to preserving the integrity of research, regardless of the subject of study or
preferred method for defining data (quantitative, qualitative).
- EXAMPLES
- Projective Technique.
- Questionnaires.
- Interviews.
