2.2.3 Data Collection Another crucial stage that cannot be ignored is deciding on the type and nature of data that is to be used in the research. Ideally‚ there are three types of data that a researcher can collect using primary research. First‚ the data can be quantitative in nature. This refers to data that is capable of been converted into a numerical value (Kothari 2004). One of the benefits of quantitative data is that its measurement does not require critical reviews‚ making it easy to collect

LECTURE 1 DATA TYPES Our interactions (inputs and outputs) of a program are treated in many languages as a stream of bytes. These bytes represent data that can be interpreted as representing values that we understand. Additionally‚ within a program we process this data that can be interpreted as representing values that we understand. Additionally‚ within a program we process this data in various way such as adding them up or sorting them. This data comes in different forms. Examples include: your

Interpreting your data is a process that involves answering a series of questions about the research. We suggest the following steps: 1) Review and interpret the data "in-house" to develop preliminary findings‚ conclusions‚ and recommendations. 2) Review the data and your interpretation of it with an advisory group or technical committee. This group should involve local‚ regional‚ and state resource people who are familiar with monitoring and with your product. They can verify‚ add to‚ or

Data mining Data mining is simply filtering through large amounts of raw data for useful information that gives businesses a competitive edge. This information is made up of meaningful patterns and trends that are already in the data but were previously unseen. The most popular tool used when mining is artificial intelligence (AI). AI technologies try to work the way the human brain works‚ by making intelligent guesses‚ learning by example‚ and using deductive reasoning. Some of the more popular

Using the Standard Deviation You made a number of observations about the data sets for the school activities. You used mean and median to measure the center of the data‚ and you used the interquartile range (IQR) to measure the spread. When outliers are present‚ the median and IQR are used to measure center and spread because they are unaffected by extreme values. When the data appears to be symmetric and there are no known outliers‚ the mean and standard deviation (another measure of spread)

Data Processing During the collection of data‚ our group noted the effect that temperature change had on aquatic macro invertebrates. Our data was collected from three different ponds amongst the Lake Harriet/Lake Calhoun vicinity. We took samples from the bird sanctuary pond‚ Lake Calhoun holding pond and the Lake Harriet duck area. Prior to our procedure‚ we measured the temperatures of each pond area. We used the low-temperature climate (bird sanctuary pond) to compare to the higher-temperature

A culture where decisions made upon analyzing real statistical information.
