Analyse data

Analysing data to summarise it and look for patterns is an important part of every evaluation.

The methods for doing this have been grouped into two categories - quantitative data (number) and qualitative data (text, images).

Methods

Numeric analysis

Analysing numeric data such as cost, frequency, and physical characteristics.

Textual analysis

Analysing words, either spoken or written, including questionnaire responses, interviews, and documents.
