Different Methods of Collection of DataP. Veeresha
Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and collecting data.
Data are the basic inputs to any decision making process in any fields like education, business, industries…. etc
The primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus happen to be original in character. It is real time data and which are collected by the researcher himself.
Secondary data means data that are already available i.e., they refer to the data which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

TABLE OF CONTENT
4. Dr.G Praveen Kumar - Research Methodology 4
• Data collection is simply how information is
gathered
• The task of data collection begins after a research
problem has been defined and research
design/plan chalked out.
• While deciding about the method of data collection
to be used for the study, the researcher should
keep in mind two types of data viz., primary and
secondary. The primary data are those which are
collected afresh and for the first time, and thus
happens to be original in character.
5. Dr.G Praveen Kumar - Research Methodology 5
• The data which is collected from the field under
the control and supervision of an investigator.
• The secondary data, on the other hand, are those
which have already been collected by someone
else and which have already been passed
through the statistical process. It involves less
cost, time and effort. For example : data from
book
6. Dr.G Praveen Kumar - Research Methodology 6
Advantages of using Primary data
• The investigator collects data specific to the
problem under study.
• There is no doubt about the quality of the data
collected (for the investigator).
Disadvantages of using Primary data
1. The investigator has to contend with all the
hassles of data
collection
• Deciding why, what, how, when to collect
7. Dr.G Praveen Kumar - Research Methodology 7
• Getting the data collected (personally or through
others)
• Getting funding and dealing with funding
agencies
• Ethical considerations (consent, permissions,
etc.)
2. Ensuring the data collected is of a high
standard
3. Cost of obtaining the data is often the major
expense in studies
8. 1. METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
Advantages of using Secondary data
• No hassles of data collection
• It is less expensive
• The investigator is not personally responsible
for the quality of data (“I didn’t do it”)
Disadvantages of using Secondary data
• The investigator cannot decide what is to be
collected
• One can only hope that the data is of good quality
• Obtaining additional data is not possible
8
9. 4.1. COLLECTION OF PRIMARY DATA
• There are several methods of collecting primary
data : Important ones are:
(i) Observation method
(ii) Interview method
(iii) Through questionnaires, and
(iv) Other methods which include :Warranty cards
,Distributor audits, Consumer panels, Using
mechanical devices and Depth interviews, etc.
• We will discuss briefly each method separately
9
10. 4.2. OBSERVATION METHOD
• The observation method is the most commonly used
method specially in studies relating to behavioral
sciences.
• In a way we all observe things around us, but this
sort of observation is not scientific observation.
• Observation becomes a scientific tool and the
method of data collection for the researcher, when
it serves a formulated research purpose is
systematically planned and recorded and is
subjected to checks and controls on validity and
reliability.
10
11. 4.2. OBSERVATION METHOD
Observation as a method of data collection has
certain characteristics.
1. It is both a physical and a mental activity. The
observation eye ‘catches’ many things which are
sighted, but attention is focussed on data that
are relevant to the given study.
11
12. 4.2. OBSERVATION METHOD
1. Observation is selective. A researcher does not
observe anything and everything, but select the
range of things to be observed on the basis of the
nature, scope and objectives of his study.
2. Observation is purposive and not casual. It is
made for the specific purpose of nothing things
relevant to the study.
12
13. 4.2. OBSERVATION METHOD
Observe verbal &
non-verbal communication,
surrounding atmosphere,
culture & situation
Observations
Need to keep
precise records of
the observations
Can be done through
observations of experiments, habits, rituals,
And review of documentation
13
14. 4.2. OBSERVATION METHOD
Determine what needs to be observed
(Plan, prepare checklist, how to record data)
Select your participants
Random/Selected
Conduct the observation
(venue, duration, recording materials )
Analyze and interpret data collected
Compile data collected
Steps To An Effective Observation
14
15. 4.3. INTERVIEW METHOD
• The interview method of collecting data involves
presentation of oral-verbal stimuli and reply in
terms of oral-verbal responses.
• This method can be used through personal
through telephone
interviews and, if possible,
interviews.
(a)Personal interviews: Personal interview method
requires a person known as the interviewer asking
questions generally in a face-to-face contact to
the other person or persons.
(b) Telephone interviews
15
16. 4.3. INTERVIEW METHOD
Effective way
of gathering
information
INTERVIEW
Involves verbal
and non-verbal
communications
Can be conducted
face to face, by telephone,
online or through mail
16
17. 4.3. INTERVIEW METHOD
Conduct the interview
Analyze and interpret data collected
Prepare your survey questions
(Choose types of questions and write instructions)
Select your respondents/sampling
Random/Selected
Steps To An Effective Interview
17
18. 4.3. INTERVIEW METHOD
Prerequisites for successful interview
Preparation
• It is necessary for the researcher to prepare
before the actual interview.
• Once the interview is conducted the researcher
needs to make sure that the respondents have :
– A clear idea of why they have been approached
– Basic information about the purpose of the
interview and the research project of which it is
a part
18
19. 4.3. INTERVIEW METHOD
– Some idea of the probable length of the
interview and that you would like to record it
– A clear idea of precisely where and when the
interview will take place .
Expertise
• The researcher ought to have the following skills
and abilities for the effective interview : An ability
to be non-judgmental; An ability to listen ; A good
memory; Ability to think on his/her feet ; Sense of
humor
19
20. 4.4. COLLECTION OF DATA THROUGH
QUESTIONNAIRES
• This method of data collection is quite popular
• It is being adopted by individuals, researchers,
private and public organizations and even by
governments.
• A questionnaire is sent (by post or mail)
• A questionnaire consists of a number of questions
• The questionnaire is mailed to respondents who are
expected to read and understand the questions.
• The respondents have to answer the questions
on their own.
20
21. 4.4. COLLECTION OF DATA THROUGH
QUESTIONNAIRES
The most common
data collection instrument
Survey
Questionnaire
Useful to collect
quantitative and qualitative
information
Should contain 3 elements:
1. Introduction – to explain the objectives
2. Instructions – must be clear, simple language & short
3. User-friendly – avoid difficult or ambiguous questions
21
22. 4.4. COLLECTION OF DATA THROUGH
QUESTIONNAIRES
• The method of collecting data by mailing the
questionnaires to respondents is most
extensively employed.
• The benefits of using this methods are as follows:
1. There is low cost even when the universe is large
and is widely spread geographically.
2. It is free from the bias of the interviewer
3. Respondents have adequate time
4. Respondents can be reached conveniently.
5. Large samples can be collected
22
23. 4.5. SOME OTHER METHODS OF DATA
COLLECTION
• Let us consider some other methods of data
collection, particularly used by big business houses
in modern times.
1. Warranty cards
Warranty cards are usually postal sized cards which
are used by dealers of consumer durables to collect
information regarding their products
2. Store audits or records
3. Consumer panels
4. Use of mechanical devices
23
24. 4.6. COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA
• Secondary data means data that are already
available i.e., they refer to the data which have
already been collected and analyzed by someone
else.
• When the researcher utilizes secondary data, then
he has to look into various sources from where he
can obtain them.
• In this case he is certainly not confronted with the
problems that are usually associated with the
collection of original data.
24
25. 4.6. COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA
• Secondary data may either be published data or
unpublished data. Usually published data are
available in:
(a) Various publications of the central, state are
local governments;
(b)Various publications of foreign governments or of
subsidiary
international bodies and their
organizations
(c)Technical and trade journals
(d)Books, magazines and newspapers
25
26. 4.6. COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA
(b)Reports and publications of various associations
connected with business and industry, banks,
stock exchanges, etc.
(c)Reports prepared by research scholars,
universities, economists, etc. in different fields;
(d)Public records and statistics, historical
documents, and other sources of published
information.
26
27. 4.6. COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA
• By way of caution, the researcher, before using
secondary data, must see that they possess
following characteristics:
1. Reliability of data: The reliability can be
tested by finding out such things about the said
data:
(a)Who collected the data?
(b)What were the sources of data?
(c) Were they collected by using proper methods
(d)At what time were they collected?
27
28. 4.6. COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA
(a) Was there any bias of the compiler?
(b) What level of accuracy was desired? Was it achieved ?
• 2. Suitability of data: The data that are suitable for one enquiry
may not necessarily be found suitable in another enquiry. Hence, if
the available data are found to be unsuitable, they should not be
used by the researcher.
28
29. 4.6. COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA
3. Adequacy of data: If the level of accuracy
achieved in data is found inadequate for the purpose
of the present enquiry, they will be considered as
inadequate and should not be used by the
researcher.
• The data will also be considered inadequate, if
they are related to an area which may be either
narrower or wider than the area of the present
enquiry.
29
30. 4.6. COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA
• Selection of Appropriate Method for Data Collection
• Thus, there are various methods of data collection. As such the
researcher must judiciously select the method/methods for his own
study, keeping in view the following factors:
1. Nature, scope and object of enquiry
2. Availability of funds
3. Time factor
4. Precision required
