ANALYSIS OF DATA
ANALYSIS OF DATA
Mrs. S. Andal, M.Sc(N).,
Professor cum Research Co-ordinator
Faculty of Nursing
ANALYSIS OF DATA
• This is the most important phase of the
research process, which involves computation
of certain measures along with searching for
patterns of relationship that exists among data
patterns of relationship that exists among data
group
• Analysis and interpretation of data includes
compilation, editing, coding, classification and
presentation of data.
Definition
• Analysis is the process of organizing and
synthesis of the data so as to answer research
questions and test hypothesis.
• Analysis is the process of breaking a complex
• Analysis is the process of breaking a complex
topic into smaller parts to gain better
understanding of it.
Analysis of Quantitative Data
Analysis
Data preparation:
It involves checking or logging the data in,
checking the data for accuracy, entering the
data and transforming the data. It involves
following steps
following steps
• Compilation
• Editing
• Coding
• Classification
• Tabulation
Cont…
• Compilation:
In this gathering towards all the collected data
in manner that a process of analysis can be
initiated.
initiated.
Cont…
• Editing:
It implies the checking of the gathered data for
accuracy, utility and completeness. The
researcher must see that none of the questions
researcher must see that none of the questions
has been skipped, all the answers have been
recorded and all the replies are internally
consistent with each other.
Cont…
• Coding:
The original data is transformed into symbols
compatible with manual or computer assisted
analysis. Code is an abbreviation, a symbol, a
analysis. Code is an abbreviation, a symbol, a
number or an alphabet which assigned by the
researcher to every scheduled item and
response category.
Cont…
• Classification:
In this process, we divide and arrange the
entire data into different categories,
classifications, groups or classes on the basis
classifications, groups or classes on the basis
of common characteristics.
Cont…
• Tabulation:
It is the recording of the classified data in
accurate mathematical terms. It is the tedious
process where raw data is to be summarized
process where raw data is to be summarized
and displayed in compact form, which can be
done manually or by computer.
Describing the data
• Descriptive statistics are used to describe the
basic features of data and to provide simple
summaries about the sample and the measures
used in study.
used in study.
Drawing inferences of data
• Inferential statistics helps in drawing
inferences from data. The most commonly
used inferential statistical data are Z test, T
test, ANOVA, Chi-Square Test etc.
test, ANOVA, Chi-Square Test etc.
Interpretation of data
• It refers to the critical examination of the
analyzed study results to draw inferences and
conclusions.
Steps of Qualitative Data Analysis
• Qualitative data is obtained through
loosely structured interview with open
ended questions, observations and
projective approaches.
• Irrespective of purpose and above
mentioned techniques, the researcher ends
up with a substantial number of pages of
written texts that needs to be analysed.
Cont…
The procedures are
• Describe the study sample characteristics
• Order and reduce/ code the data
•
• Summarizing the data
• Drawing conclusions
• If required, develop strategies for further
testing
Cont…
Description of study sampling characteristics
• A useful step in data processing as well as
reporting the findings is the description of the
study subjects.
Ordering and reduce/ code the data
Ordering and reduce/ code the data
• In ordering and coding of data, researchers can
handle two types of data
• Response or answers acquired through open
ended questions
• More elaborate narrative form loosely structured
interviews
Cont…
Open ended questions:
• List the answers of the samples
• Read the answers and remember the purpose of
questions
• Make the rough categories of answers that seem to
• Make the rough categories of answers that seem to
belong together and code them with respective
keywords
• List all the answers according to code
• Interpret each list and given meaningful or
characteristic keyword
Cont…
• Make final list of labeled categories and
code all
• This content analysis is the most
important purpose of the analysis by
important purpose of the analysis by
counting the answers under each label,
however the researcher will gain insight as
well in how common the different reasons
are.
Elaborate Narratives
• The data from interview are more bulky than
answers to open ended questions. The
carefully transcribed field notes and tapes
may consist of pages of narrative text.
• In addition data is not presented in order we
• In addition data is not presented in order we
need for our analysis, since informants may
jump from one topic to another.
• To make analysis easier we have to order and
reduce the data. Ordering is best done in
relation to the objectives and discussion on
topics.
Cont…
Steps:
• Reread research objectives and discussion
about topics
• Carefully read number of interviews,
• Carefully read number of interviews,
which need to be analyzed.
• List all keywords that being to a certain
topic in the subcategories
• Interpret the data
• Code all your qualitative data
Summarizing data in compilation
sheets
After ordering the data we will have to
summarize them. A useful first step is
summarizing all data of each study unit per
study population on separate compilation
sheet.
sheet.
Summarizations can be done further by
• Matrices
• Diagrams
• Flow charts
• Quasi Statistical Tables
• Narrative Analysis
Cont…
Matrices:
• A matrix is a chart that looks like a
cross table but contains words, it can be
useful in quantitative and also qualitative
useful in quantitative and also qualitative
data
Diagrams:
• A diagram is a figure with boxes
contains variables and arrows indicating
the relationships between these variables.
Cont…
Flow charts:
• They are special types of diagrams that
express the logical sequences of actions or
decisions. The preceding figure, indicating the
decisions. The preceding figure, indicating the
successive steps in protocol development
Cont…
Quasi Statistical Tables:
• This style typically begins with some
preconceived ideas about the analysis and
uses those ideas to sort the data.
• In this researcher searches the content
of the narrative data for particular words
or themes that have been specified in
advance.
• Then the result can be analyzed
statistically.
Cont…
Narrative Analysis:
• In this approach the stories of the
respondents are narrated. A researcher
always tries to compare ideas presented by
always tries to compare ideas presented by
respondents about self.
Drawing and Verifying Conclusion
• When researcher starts to summarize
data in compilation sheets. He or she
continuously draw conclusions and
modify or reject quite a number of them as
modify or reject quite a number of them as
they proceed.
Reporting the data
• Reporting qualitative data is of two
different types. One way is summarizing the
major result in a separate section of the
findings, following the objectives.
findings, following the objectives.
• The second possibility is to fully integrate
different data sets in the chapter of findings
ordered according to the objectives of the
entire study.
Establishing the validity of
Qualitative data
• Check for representatives of data
• Check for bias
• Cross check data with evidence from other
• Compare and contrast data
• Compare and contrast data
• Use extreme informants to the maximum
• Carry out additional research to test the finding
of your study
• Get feedback from your informant
