03 quantitative method
It describes the nature, process and limitations of quantitative approach to social and behavioural science research.
Clive M Jones - Excerpt from Symposium ICAP Paris July 2014
This document contrasts the differences between thinking as a scientist versus a practitioner. A scientist builds explicit taxonomies of knowledge, tests hypotheses detached as a passive observer, and generalizes knowledge through controlling variables and statistical analysis. A practitioner builds implicit schema through situated, engaged experience, applies hunches as an active participant impacted by the environment, and contextualizes knowledge through perceptual analysis of cause and effect within a situation. Both are important modes of thinking in psychological inquiry.
Meta analysis: Mega-silly or mega-useful?
This document discusses meta-analysis and its use and limitations in synthesizing data from multiple studies on a research question. It notes that while meta-analysis provides an objective means of synthesis, it is still susceptible to biases depending on how it is conducted. Key steps in performing a rigorous meta-analysis are outlined, including having a clear research question, documenting literature search methods, extracting study details, assessing heterogeneity and publication bias, and exploring potential moderators of findings. Concerns raised decades ago about the potential for meta-analyses to be "gamed" remain important to consider.
Theoretical framework
The document discusses theories, theoretical frameworks, and their purpose in research. A theory explains phenomena through generalizations and models. The theoretical framework presents the theory explaining the research problem and serves as a structure to support the research. It helps the researcher identify variables and provides a framework for data analysis. Formulating a theoretical framework involves presenting authoritative theories, key concepts, assumptions, and the relationship between variables.
Census and sample investigation
This document discusses methods of collecting statistical data. It describes census and sample investigation methods. The census method collects data from every unit of the population, while the sample method collects data from only a few representative units. The census method is more reliable but costly, while the sample method is less expensive but less accurate. Key differences between the two methods are also outlined.
The Scientific Process
The scientific method is a systematic process of empirical investigation used to solve problems. It involves making observations, inferring conclusions, formulating hypotheses, controlling variables in experiments, interpreting data, and communicating results. The key steps are identifying a problem, formulating hypotheses, testing hypotheses through experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. Important skills for scientists include observation, controlling variables, and interpreting experimental results. Values like patience, honesty, and curiosity are also important for scientists.
Statistical hypothesis
The document defines a hypothesis as a conjectural statement or tentative explanation about the relationship between two or more variables that can be tested. Several authors contribute definitions stating that a hypothesis makes a specific, testable prediction and must be falsifiable. Key aspects of a hypothesis include identifying variables, having explanatory power, and being testable, quantifiable, and generalizable. The document also distinguishes between statistical hypotheses about population parameters, null hypotheses being tested, and critical regions for rejecting null hypotheses based on sample data.

Selection of appropriate statistics and tools
This document provides an overview of selecting appropriate statistics and tools for research. It discusses various types of statistical analysis including descriptive analysis, inferential analysis, differences analysis, association analysis, and predictive analysis. Descriptive analysis involves summarizing data through tables, graphs, and numerical measures of central tendency, variation, and distribution. Inferential analysis makes conclusions about a population based on a sample. Differences analysis examines whether two or more groups are the same or different. Association analysis looks at relationships between variables. Predictive analysis forecasts one variable based on others. The document also explains when to use parametric versus non-parametric statistics depending on factors like sample size, distribution, and scale of measurement.
Applied statistics lecture_5
This document provides an overview of reliability analysis and factor analysis. It discusses the concepts of validity, reliability, and their importance in scientific research. Reliability is defined as the consistency or dependability of measurement, and is assessed using reliability analysis techniques like Cronbach's alpha. Factor analysis is introduced as a technique to simplify complex constructs into underlying dimensions or factors. The key steps of factor analysis include examining the correlation matrix, extracting initial factors using methods like principal component analysis, and rotating factors to arrive at the final factor solution. Decisions on the number of factors are based on statistical criteria like eigenvalues and scree plots, as well as conceptual grounds.
Scientific method
The scientific method involves five basic steps: (1) making an observation that leads to a question, (2) forming a hypothesis to answer the question, (3) designing an experiment to test the hypothesis, (4) collecting and analyzing data from the experiment, and (5) reporting results so other scientists can verify them. A hypothesis that is supported over time by many investigations and observations becomes a scientific theory, which provides an explanation supported by extensive evidence. Scientific laws describe consistent relationships in nature.

The document emphasizes that developing these skills allows students to become independent scientific thinkers and helps build critical thinking abilities.
Scientific Method
The scientific method is a process for conducting scientific investigations that involves asking a question, formulating a hypothesis, conducting an experiment, analyzing data, and drawing a conclusion. It involves making an educated guess about how things work, designing an experiment to test the hypothesis by changing one variable at a time, recording data in an organized table, analyzing the data by calculating averages and looking for trends, and determining whether the results accept or reject the original hypothesis.
Escalante, marvin
The document discusses the key processes used in science: observing to gather facts using the senses, forming hypotheses to answer problems which are then tested through experimentation, making inferences from observations, and predicting outcomes. It notes that variables must be controlled in experiments and conclusions drawn to answer the original problem. Mastering these scientific processes helps develop important skills for scientists.
Scientific method 2
The scientific method is a standardized process for making observations, forming hypotheses, testing predictions, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. It involves making an observation, forming a hypothesis to explain the observation, testing the hypothesis through experiments with controls, collecting and analyzing the resulting data, drawing conclusions, and communicating the results. The goal of the scientific method is to obtain knowledge through descriptions, predictions, explanations, and applications that can be verified objectively.

Inductative ,deductive methods
Deductive and inductive methods are two broad approaches to study in economics. The deductive method starts with a general theory or hypothesis and uses data to test it, moving from general to specific. It aims to test theories through a process of selecting a problem, formulating assumptions, developing hypotheses through logical reasoning, and verifying hypotheses. The inductive method gathers data and observations to develop broader generalizations and theories through a process of observing particulars and reasoning to identify patterns, form tentative hypotheses, and develop general conclusions, moving from specific to general. Both approaches have merits and limitations, and most economic research uses elements of both inductive and deductive reasoning.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Scientific method
- 2. The method or procedure adopted by scientist for their investigation is called scientific method.
- 3. The steps can be broadly classified under two processes. The logical process The technical process
- 4. LOGICAL PROCESS The logical process is the thought process by which an ordinary person solves the problem of daily life. It includes various mental processes like observation, comparison, reasoning etc.
- 5. Technical process The technical process include the action processes like measurement, experimentation, calculation, reporting… etc
- 6. 1. Sensing a problem 2. Defining the problem 3. Analyzing the problem 4. Collection of data 5. Interpreting data 6. Formulation of hypothesis 7. Selecting the most likely hypothesis 8. Drawing conclusion and generalization 9. Application of generalization
- 7. 1. Sensing a problem –A problem is felt difficulty. It is the situation where an immediate solution is not available. 2. Defining the problem – The problem is defined in clear , definite, concise language. 3. Analyzing the problem – In this we locate the relevant data. For this we analyze the key words in the problem. 4. Collection of data –After helps us to collect relevant data. These can be gathered by reading books, making field trips, performing experiments and discussing with experts. 5. Interpreting data – After collecting data it is critically examined with respect to relevance , appropriateness, clarity etc. The collected data should be organized. 6. Forming hypothesis – Tentative solution are formulated by interpreting and organizing the data. 7. Selecting the most likely hypothesis –The most likely hypothesis is accepted and tested experimentally. 8. Drawing conclusion and generalization – The tested hypothesis lead to the conclusion and generalization can be formed this. 9. Application of generalization – The generalized idea is then applied in new practical situation.
- 8. 1 . Induction :- This is founded by Francis Bacon It is the process of arriving at a conclusion from the facts observed. Here min moves from specific to general bottom to top; simple to complex; familiar to unfamiliar; known to unknown; concrete to abstract etc. All inductive inference are based on the following assumptions. a) The law of uniformity in nature : Nature is uniform in behavior. A phenomenon that takes in certain circumstances will repeat itself whenever that circumstance occurs. b) The law of causation : Nothing takes place without any reason. Every phenomenon has a cause or a set of causes that is invariable connected with it. 2 . Deduction : Founded by Aristotle. It is the reverse of induction. Here facts are deducted by the application of established formulas. Here the mind moves from general to specific , unknown to known , abstract to concrete , top to bottom…. Deduction helps to link theory and observations. 3 . Analogy : Analogy help[s us to draw inference in scientific investigation.
- 9. 4. Analysis and synthesis : Analysis means separation into meaningful parts and synthesis means putting them together. 5. Hypothesis :A hypothesis is a tentative solution or a shrewd guess that is formulated and provisionally adopted to explain observed facts or conditions and to guide in further investigation. 6. Transfer of training : when training in one situation helps in other fields of activity , it is said to transfer of training.
- 10. 1 . Collection of data : Data may be available in books in science and laboratory. In data collection the data should be properly recorded and reported. The data must be valid reliable ,systematic and complete. 2. Observation : Observation means prolonged perception of things or events directed and sustained by attention. 3. Experimentation : Experimentation is used to find out cause effect relationship. Experimentation provides control over the condition under which we observe and hence help to arrive at more precise result. 4. Concept of sampling : A population is the collection of all elements that have one or more characteristics in common. Sampling is the process of selecting units from a population so that by studying the sample , we can generalized result to the population. 5. Controlling variable : means to control all over variables than the one which is hypothesized to cause the event which have influence on the event being studied. 6. Recording and reporting data : This involves summarization manipulation and reduction of data. The data we gathered from various sources are recorded for future reference.
