This document discusses data interpretation and provides details on what interpretation is, its importance, techniques for interpretation, and precautions that should be taken. Interpretation refers to drawing inferences from collected facts after analytical study and finding broader meanings of research results. It helps explain factors observed in a study and provides guidance for future research. Proper interpretation establishes connections between studies and explanatory concepts, and is necessary to understand abstract principles and the real significance of findings.
Statistical analysis, presentation on Data Analysis in Research.Leena Gauraha
This document summarizes statistical data analysis. It discusses the meaning of data analysis as inspecting, cleansing, transforming and modeling data to discover useful information for decision making. The objectives and steps of data analysis are defined as defining objectives, preparing data, descriptive analysis, confirmatory analysis, interpretation and reporting. Quantitative analysis involves measures like mean and standard deviation while qualitative analysis examines interviews and documents for common patterns. Benefits to business include informed decision making, identifying trends, cost efficiency and strategic planning. Methods of data interpretation are collecting clean data, choosing qualitative or quantitative analysis methods, observing qualitative data and using statistical measures for quantitative data.
Research meaning, Definition, Purpose, Objectives and Process.RajaKrishnan M
This document defines research and outlines the research methodology process. It states that research involves defining problems, formulating hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, making deductions, reaching conclusions, and testing conclusions. Research is described as a systematic, formal, and rigorous process used to discover facts, relationships, and solutions to problems. The purpose of research is to gain solutions to problems through organized investigation with clearly defined objectives in order to obtain the right solution.
Degrees of freedom represent the number of variables that can vary freely in a statistical calculation. They are used to ensure the validity of tests like the chi square test, t-tests, and F-tests by accounting for the number of observations. Degrees of freedom are calculated by subtracting constraints, like the number of groups in an experiment, from the total number of observations. Common formulas are Df=N-1 for a single sample test, and Df=n1+n2-2 for a two sample test, where N is the sample size and n1 and n2 are the sample sizes of two groups.
The document discusses various aspects of research design including:
1. Research design involves decisions about what, where, when, how much, and by what means to study a research problem.
2. Key parts of research design include sampling design, observational design, statistical design, and operational design.
3. Experimental designs aim to establish cause-and-effect relationships through control and manipulation of variables while quasi-experimental and non-experimental designs do not involve manipulation.
This document discusses research objectives, including their meaning, characteristics, need, and types. It states that a research objective provides direction to investigate variables and is the result sought by the researcher. Objectives should be SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound). Formulating objectives helps researchers focus, avoid issues, organize their work, and define directions. There are two types of objectives: general objectives which are broad goals, and specific objectives which are narrower and break general objectives into logically connected parts. The document provides examples to illustrate general and specific objectives for research statements.
The document discusses interpretation in research, which involves drawing meaningful conclusions from analyzed data. Interpretation reveals the significance of research findings and demands fair judgments. Both the analysis of data and its interpretation are interdependent processes. When interpreting data, researchers should consider factors affecting the problem, consult experts, and provide reasonable explanations while avoiding errors like making false generalizations or using improper statistical methods and measures. The goal of interpretation is to understand what was learned and help discover new relationships and predictions.
Hypothesis testing involves making an assumption about an unknown population parameter, called the null hypothesis (H0). A hypothesis is tested by collecting a sample from the population and comparing sample statistics to the hypothesized parameter value. If the sample value differs significantly from the hypothesized value based on a predetermined significance level, then the null hypothesis is rejected. There are two types of errors that can occur - type 1 errors occur when a true null hypothesis is rejected, and type 2 errors occur when a false null hypothesis is not rejected. Hypothesis tests can be one-tailed, testing if the sample value is greater than or less than the hypothesized value, or two-tailed, testing if the sample value is significantly different from the hypothesized value.

This document discusses selecting and defining a research problem. It explains that a research problem needs to be clearly defined and operationalized using measurable variables. The selection process involves evaluating potential problems based on criteria like the researcher's background and available resources. Problems should be novel, solve a current issue, and allow further research. The document provides guidance on refining broad topics into narrow, specific research problems suitable for different research methods like historical, descriptive or experimental studies.
A brief description of F Test and ANOVA for Msc Life Science students. I have taken the example slides from youtube where an excellent explanation is available.
Here is the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yQb_ZJnFXw
Amrita Kumari from Banaras Hindu University submitted an application discussing parametric tests. Parametric tests were developed by R. Fisher and make assumptions about the population distribution from which a sample is drawn. The key assumptions are that the population is normally distributed, observations are independent, populations have equal variance, and data is on a ratio or interval scale. Parametric tests can be used even when distributions are skewed or variances differ, and they have more statistical power than non-parametric tests. Common parametric tests include t-tests, z-tests, and ANOVA. The document then discusses one-sample, dependent, and independent t-tests in more detail. Both advantages like precision and disadvantages like sensitivity
The document discusses various statistical analysis methods and their purposes. It defines descriptive statistics as methods used to describe characteristics of a population or sample, such as measures of central tendency, dispersion, location, and distribution. Inferential statistics draw inferences from samples to make generalizations about populations. The document outlines specific descriptive and inferential statistical tests for both parametric and nonparametric data, and explains that the appropriate statistical method depends on the research problem and level of measurement used in a study.
This document provides an overview of research methodology. It defines research and thesis, discusses the objectives and importance of research.

This document discusses interpretation in research methodology. Interpretation involves drawing inferences from collected facts after analytical or experimental study. It has two main aspects: establishing continuity of research and explanatory concepts. Interpretation allows researchers to understand abstract principles, link findings across studies, serve as a guide for future research, and better appreciate the significance of their own study. Techniques of interpretation include generalization, considering extraneous information, consulting experts, and considering all relevant factors. Precautions in interpretation involve ensuring accurate data, avoiding wrong statistical interpretation, distinguishing broad vs restricted generalizations, and interacting empirical observation with theoretical concepts.
The document provides an overview of hypothesis testing. It begins by defining a hypothesis test and its purpose of ruling out chance as an explanation for research study results. It then outlines the logic and steps of a hypothesis test: 1) stating hypotheses, 2) setting decision criteria, 3) collecting data, 4) making a decision. Key concepts discussed include type I and type II errors, statistical significance, test statistics like the z-score, and assumptions of hypothesis testing. Factors that can influence a hypothesis test like effect size, sample size, and alpha level are also covered.
Research design and types of research design final pptPrahlada G
This document discusses research design. It defines research design as the conceptual framework for a research study that includes plans for data collection, measurement, and analysis. The main components of a research design are outlined, including the problem statement, literature review, objectives, methodology, and data analysis plan. Four common types of research designs are explored in more detail: exploratory, descriptive, experimental, and quasi-experimental. Key principles of experimental design like replication, randomization, and local control are also summarized.
Experimental research is the most conclusive scientific method because the researcher directly manipulates the independent variable and studies its effects on the dependent variable. This allows the researcher to determine causation, unlike other research methods. The purpose is to establish cause-and-effect relationships between variables. Basic steps include having an experimental group that receives a treatment and a control group that does not, then comparing outcomes. Key characteristics include random assignment to control threats to internal validity. Poor designs do not include control groups or random assignment, making it impossible to determine if results are due to the treatment.
This document discusses Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation and how it is used to measure the relationship between two variables. It defines positive, negative, and zero correlation, and explains that Pearson's correlation coefficient (represented by r) varies from -1 to 1, where -1 is total negative correlation, 0 is no correlation, and 1 is total positive correlation. The document also provides an example of calculating r using product-moment method for a set of test score data, and interprets the resulting correlation value.
This document provides an overview of non-parametric tests presented by Ms. Prajakta Sawant. It discusses non-parametric tests as distribution-free statistical tests that do not require assumptions about the underlying population distribution. Common non-parametric tests described include the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, and the chi-square test. Examples are provided for each test to illustrate their application and interpretation.

Applied vs basic research - Research Methodology - Manu Melwin Joy manumelwin
When discussing research methodology, it is important to distinguish between applied and basic research. Applied research examines a specific set of circumstances, and its ultimate goal is relating the results to a particular situation. That is, applied research uses the data directly for real world application.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in research methodology, including:
1. It defines research as an organized and systematic process of finding answers to questions through a defined set of steps and procedures.
2. It discusses different types of research including quantitative, qualitative, basic, applied, longitudinal, descriptive, classification, comparative, exploratory, explanatory, causal, theory testing, and theory building research.
3. It also discusses alternatives to research-based knowledge such as relying on authority, tradition, common sense, media, and personal experience.
1. Psychology uses the scientific method to conduct research in an organized and objective way to increase knowledge. The scientific method involves observing phenomena, formulating questions and hypotheses, testing predictions through research, drawing conclusions, and evaluating results.
2. There are different types of research including descriptive research using surveys and case studies, correlational research examining relationships between variables, and experimental research manipulating independent variables. Research also takes place in laboratories and natural settings.
3. Researchers analyze data using descriptive statistics to summarize results and inferential statistics to determine if findings are statistically significant. They interpret what conclusions can be drawn given the data while considering the study's limitations.
The document outlines the scientific method used in psychology. It discusses the 5 basic steps: 1) observe phenomena, 2) formulate a question/hypothesis, 3) test predictions through research, 4) draw conclusions, and 5) evaluate results and collaborate. It also describes different types of research (descriptive, correlational, experimental) and settings (laboratory, natural observation). Experimental research involves manipulating an independent variable to measure its effect on a dependent variable, while controlling for validity, experimenter bias, participant bias, and placebo effects. Data is analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to determine if results support hypotheses. Ethical standards require informed consent, debriefing, confidentiality, and humane treatment of research participants.
This document provides an introduction to quantitative and qualitative research methods. It explains that the research approach chosen depends on the research questions, underlying philosophy, and skills of the researcher. Quantitative research uses numerical data and statistical analysis, while qualitative research uses words and focuses on understanding phenomena. Both have advantages and limitations. The document also discusses research design principles, data sources, analysis techniques, and key aspects to consider for quantitative and qualitative approaches.
CRM 101: What is CRM?
This is a simple definition of CRM.
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a technology for managing all your company’s relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers. The goal is simple: Improve business relationships to grow your business. A CRM system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability.
When people talk about CRM, they are usually referring to a CRM system, a tool that helps with contact management, sales management, agent productivity, and more. CRM tools can now be used to manage customer relationships across the entire customer lifecycle, spanning marketing, sales, digital commerce, and customer service interactions.
A CRM solution helps you focus on your organization’s relationships with individual people — including customers, service users, colleagues, or suppliers — throughout your lifecycle with them, including finding new customers, winning their business, and providing support and additional services throughout the relationship.
Who is CRM for?
A CRM system gives everyone — from sales, customer service, business development, recruiting, marketing, or any other line of business — a better way to manage the external interactions and relationships that drive success. A CRM tool lets you store customer and prospect contact information, identify sales opportunities, record service issues, and manage marketing campaigns, all in one central location — and make information about every customer interaction available to anyone at your company who might need it.
With visibility and easy access to data, it's easier to collaborate and increase productivity. Everyone in your company can see how customers have been communicated with, what they’ve bought, when they last purchased, what they paid, and so much more. CRM can help companies of all sizes drive business growth, and it can be especially beneficial to a small business, where teams often need to find ways to do more with less.
Here’s why CRM matters to your business.
CRM is the largest and fastest-growing enterprise application software category, and worldwide spending on CRM is expected to reach USD $114.4 billion by the year 2027. If your business is going to last, you need a strategy for the future that’s centered around your customers, and enabled by the right technology. You have targets for sales, business objectives, and profitability. But getting up-to-date, reliable information on your progress can be tricky. How do you translate the many streams of data coming in from sales, customer service, marketing, and social media monitoring into useful business information?
A CRM system can give you a clear overview of your customers. You can see everything in one place — a simple, customizable dashboard that can tell you a customer’s previous history with you, the status of their orders, any outstanding customer service issues, and more. You can even choose to include information
The document discusses and compares quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative research uses numerical data and statistical analysis, while qualitative research uses narrative and visual data to understand phenomena. Both approaches are described in terms of data collection, research procedures, underlying beliefs, and examples of research questions they can address.

This document provides an overview of research, including definitions, characteristics, and types. It defines research as a systematic process of inquiry aimed at increasing understanding through collecting and analyzing information. The document outlines the main characteristics of research as being analytical, empirical, logical, cyclical, critical, and methodical. It also describes the main types of research based on their application, objectives, and mode of inquiry. The types discussed include pure research, applied research, descriptive research, correlational research, explanatory research, and exploratory research. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods are also defined.
This document differentiates between qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research relies on non-numerical personal accounts and observations to understand how people think, while quantitative research uses measurable data and statistical analysis to test relationships. Some key differences are that qualitative research uses interviews, documents and observations to collect open-ended data, while quantitative relies on experiments, surveys and databases to collect standardized data suitable for numerical analysis. Both approaches have benefits and limitations for addressing different types of research questions.
The document discusses validity and reliability in research. It defines reliability as the consistency of scores from one administration of an instrument to another, and validity as the appropriateness of inferences made from research findings. The document outlines different types of validity evidence including content, criterion, and construct validity. It also discusses threats to internal validity such as subject characteristics, loss of subjects, and location that could influence research outcomes. Methods for achieving validity and reliability are presented, including minimizing threats in experimental research designs.
The document discusses various stages and types of research processes. It describes the typical stages as formulating a problem, determining the research design, developing data collection methods and forms, collecting and analyzing data, and preparing the research report. It also discusses exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory research goals. Exploratory research is used to discover new ideas and form hypotheses, while descriptive research aims to observe relationships and explanatory research seeks to determine causes. The document also covers research design types like experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental designs as well as qualitative and quantitative methods.
The document discusses quantitative research methods. It begins by defining quantitative data as pieces of information that can be counted, often from large random samples. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are then described as complementary approaches. Key points about quantitative research include: it aims to determine relationships between variables; designs are descriptive or experimental; it focuses on numbers, logic and objectivity rather than divergent reasoning; and characteristics include using structured instruments, representative large samples, reliability, clearly defined questions, and numerical data. The strengths are broader generalization while weaknesses include less detail and flexibility.
This document provides guidance for students on their practical research assignments for weeks 5-7. It discusses key terms related to data analysis such as coding, collating, and different types of matrices. It also covers qualitative data analysis and drawing conclusions. For week 6, students are asked to explain pointers for writing a conclusion section. Week 7 involves answering questions about drawing valid conclusions and ensuring they are supported by evidence from the data analysis. The document emphasizes that conclusions must be logically supported by factual findings from the research.
The document discusses various aspects of research methods and processes. It defines research as the gathering of new knowledge from primary and secondary sources through systematic investigation. It notes that research involves identifying and formulating the problem, conducting an extensive literature review, developing hypotheses, preparing the research design, collecting and analyzing data, and preparing a research report. The key steps in the research process are formulating the problem, literature survey, developing a synopsis, identifying variables, setting hypotheses, research design, sampling, data collection, analysis, testing hypotheses, and reporting. The types of research designs discussed are exploratory, descriptive, causal, and experimental.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in educational research methods. It discusses the purposes of educational research as explaining educational issues and helping to understand, predict, improve, and generate new questions. It also outlines the main steps of scientific inquiry as recognizing a problem, collecting information, analyzing data, and stating implications. The document then distinguishes between basic, applied, and evaluation research. It explains quantitative and qualitative research methods and various research designs including descriptive, correlational, causal-comparative, experimental, and historical. It also discusses sampling techniques, variables and scales of measurement, types of instruments, validity and reliability, and statistical analysis methods.
Why limit ourselves to traditional quantitative metrics like visitor count, page weight, conversion, and revenue when there is so much valuable qualitative data available? We can turn qualitative data into quantitative data and use the same rigorous analysis techniques to help lead us to better designs, products, services, and experiences.
The document discusses developing effective test questions or items. It explains that questions should be carefully planned and executed to objectively measure students' abilities. The document provides guidelines for writing clear, appropriately difficult questions that reliably discriminate between high- and low-performing students. It also discusses analyzing questions based on difficulty level, discrimination index, and effectiveness of answer options. The goal is to include questions that accurately assess learning objectives.
This document discusses qualitative research methods. It defines qualitative research as seeking to understand opinions, experiences, and feelings through subjective data rather than numerical data. The document outlines several key characteristics of qualitative research, including that it takes place in natural settings, collects non-numerical data like words or illustrations, is concerned with processes, and analyzes data inductively by drawing out general ideas. It also discusses the need for qualitative research, ethics, and ways to link qualitative and quantitative research approaches.
The document discusses various methods for collecting quantitative and qualitative data for research purposes. It begins by defining the purpose of research as making descriptions, explanations, and predictions about phenomena. It then outlines four types of variables that are important in quantitative research: discrete, continuous, nominal, and ordinal variables. Examples are provided for each type. The main quantitative data collection methods discussed are surveys and one-on-one interviews. Surveys can be conducted using paper, online, or other means, while interviews can be done face-to-face, by telephone, or online. Both methods aim to systematically gather numerical data that can be analyzed to answer research questions. Qualitative data and secondary data collection are also briefly covered.

3. What does it mean that 55 youth reported
change in behavior, or 25% of participants
rated the program a 5 and 75% rated it a 4?
What does these numbers mean?
Why Interpret Research Results?
For example,
4. What is Interpretation in Research?
Interpretation refers to
the task of drawing inferences
from the data that has been
collected, analyzed, and
presented after an analytical
and or experimental study.
It involves making “inferences pertinent to the research
relations” investigated from where generalizations are
drawn (Calderon & Gonzales, 1993).
5. Interpretation reflects the
researcher’s own
understanding of the research
results which are guided by
logic and reason, established
theories and previous
findings.
7. 2 Types of Data to Interpret
• Quantitative
Data
• Qualitative
Data
8. Qualitative data includes narratives, logs,
experience from Focus groups, interviews,
open-ended survey items, diaries and
journals, notes from observations and etc.
9. • demographic data
• answers to closed-ended survey items
• attendance data
• scores on standardized instruments
• etc.
Quantitative data are data that is numerical,
counted, or compared on a scale
10. Qualitative data interpretation tends to
be more subjective in nature and many
times can be influenced by the
researcher’s biases ( Leed and
Ormrod, 2001)
Qualitative data requires understanding,
digesting, synthesizing, conceptualizing
descriptions of feelings, behaviors,
experiences and ideas.
11. Interpreting numerical data or
Quantitative data in order to make
predictions is known as inferential
statistics.
Some measures used in inferential
statistics include the standard error of
the mean, estimators and the p-value.
12. Techniques in Interpreting Research Results
• Give reasonable explanations of the
relations found.
• Find out the thread of
uniformity that lies under the
surface layer of diversified
research findings.
14. Do you consider negative results as
equivalent to bad results? Yes or No
Questions:
How will you deal with
unexpected results?
15. A contradictory result does not mean
that the study is bad or incorrect, but it
suggest the idea of further investigation.
An unexpected result maybe
attributed to the research
methodology- the research design,
sampling procedure, the research
instrument, data gathering
procedure and statistical treatment.
Editor's Notes
The way data is interpreted can have varying effects on the conclusion. It can be the most important key in proving or disproving the hypothesis. Whether the result is expected or unexpected, it is imperative that the researcher should give its interpretation.
Efforts must be put into the data collection process to eliminate bias including collecting more than one kind of data, get many different kinds of perspectives on the events being studied, purposely look for contradicting informations and acknowledging your biases that relate to your research report.
It is easy to interpret expected results because the researcher is ready for it.
Even positive results are not exempted from having their quality questioned. Negative results can indicate novel findings or unexpected outcomes of rigorous investigations, directly or indirectly contributing to scientific discovery.
