How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

40.5K
A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

Qualitative Analysis01:10

Qualitative Analysis

1.1K
Qualitative analysis is the process of identifying elements, ions, or compounds in an unknown sample. It is the first and most fundamental type of analysis based on the hierarchy of analytical goals. This hierarchy is significant as it provides a structured approach to scientific research, with qualitative analysis serving as the initial step, providing essential information before moving on to quantitative or other forms of analysis.
There are two main approaches to qualitative analysis:...

For solutions containing mixtures of different cations, the identity of each cation can be determined by qualitative analysis. This technique involves a series of selective precipitations with different chemical reagents, each reaction producing a characteristic precipitate for a specific group of cations. Metal ions within a group are further separated by varying the pH, heating the mixture to redissolve a precipitate, or adding other reagents to form complex ions.
For instance, group IV...

Bar Graph01:07

Bar Graph

20.9K
A bar graph is also called a bar chart and consists of bars that are separated from each other. It either uses horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories. The bars can be rectangles, or they can be rectangular boxes (used in three-dimensional plots). One axis of the graph represents the specific categories being compared, and the other axis shows a discrete value. In this graph, the length of the bar for each category is proportional to the number or percent of individuals...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Area of Science:

  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Textual Data Analysis
  • Scientific Interpretation

Background:

  • Iterative categorisation (IC) was introduced in 2016 as a method for qualitative textual data analysis.
  • IC distinguishes between descriptive and interpretive stages of analysis.
  • This paper details the interpretive stage of IC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elaborate on the interpretive analytical stage of Iterative Categorisation (IC).
  • To describe the three core processes within the interpretive stage: conceptualising, differentiating, and externalising.
  • To provide examples of these processes in published research.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on the interpretive stage of Iterative Categorisation (IC).
  • Description of three core processes: conceptualising (inductive, deductive, abductive), differentiating, and externalising.
  • Utilisation of published examples to illustrate each process.

Main Results:

  • The interpretive stage involves conceptualising, differentiating, and externalising data.
  • These processes are often recursive and require repetition for comprehensive analysis.
  • Published examples demonstrate the practical application of these interpretive processes.

Conclusions:

  • Following IC stages ensures improved understanding of phenomena.
  • IC enhances the contribution of study findings to existing literature.
  • IC promotes broader international audiences and contextually relevant practical implications.
