	Data analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Data analysis is the act of transforming data with the aim of extracting useful information and facilitating conclusions.
		Respect to Data mining, data analysis is usually more narrowly intended as not aiming to the discovery of unforeseen patterns hidden in the data, but to the verification or disproval of an existing model, or to the extraction of parameters necessary to adapt a theoretical model to (experimental) reality.
		Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) or qualitative research is the analysis of non-numerical data, for example words, photographs, observations, etc..

	Inferring From Data
		It is also an appropriate distribution for describing data corresponding to resonance behavior, such as the variation with energy of the cross section of a nuclear reaction or the variation with velocity of the absorption of radiation in the Mossbauer effect.
		Multivariate analysis is a branch of statistics involving the consideration of objects on each of which are observed the values of a number of variables.
		The data are measured and /or analyzed using a nominal scale of measurement.

	Data Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Data analysis can be approached in a number of ways, but I see them all as being one of three general methodologies: Reductive, mathematical, and visual.
		Mathematical, sometimes referred to as classical, data analysis is a methodology in which mathematical models are applied to the data and used as the basis for analysis.
		Visual data analysis is a methodology in which the data, as a whole, is used as the basis for analysis.

	Exploratory data analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is that part of statistical practice concerned with reviewing, communicating and using data where there is a low level of knowledge about its cause system.
		Tukey held that too much emphasis in statistics was placed on evaluating and testing given hypotheses (confirmatory data analysis) and that the balance was in need of redressing in favour of using data to suggest hypotheses to test.
		In particular, confusion of the two types of analysis and employing them on the same set of data can lead to bias owing to the issues endemic in testing hypotheses suggested by the data.

		The precision of the data is dependant on the number of cells counted, and as number of events increases the coefficient of variation of the estimate decreases.
		The arithmetic mean is well suited to the analysis of data that is collected on a linear scale, while as a general rule, the geometric mean is better suited for use with data collected with a logarithmic amplifier.
		This type of data, where the test sample shows a comparitively small shift in the relative fluorescence, is well suited to histogram subtraction, as opposed to a "set marker" type approach, as one has difficulty with this type of experiment in clearly deciding where a marker could, or should be set.

	Data Analysis
		Data Analysis is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical techniques to describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data.
		The form of the analysis is determined by the specific qualitative approach taken (field study, ethnography content analysis, oral history, biography, unobtrusive research) and the form of the data (field notes, documents, audiotape, videotape).
		The integrity of data analysis can be compromised by the environment or context in which data was collected i.e., face-to face interviews vs. focused group.

		However, in addition to advocating the graphical techniques of visual data analysis, he proposed the methodology of data exploration, a methodology in which a model of the phenomena might be inferred instead of pre-imposed.
		The exploratory approach is very appropriate for data analysis because it allows you to explore your data with an open mind.
		In the second step, that of confirmatory data analysis, you evaluate the strength of the evidence and judge its merits and applicability.

		If the data come from a survey, for example, you want to know that the people who responded to the survey were selected at random.
		Another problem with data is "cherry-picking." This is the social-science equivalent of gerrymandering, where you draw up a legislative district so that all the people who are going to vote for your candidate are included in your district and everyone else is scattered among a bunch of other districts.
		Again, data that are "cherry picked" to look interesting might mean something else entirely once it is placed in a different context.

	Barry: Choosing Qualitative Data Analysis Software
		The main worries are: that it will distance people from their data; that it will lead to qualitative data being analysed quantitatively; that it will lead to increasing homogeneity in methods of data analysis; and that it might be a monster and hi-jack the analysis.
		Another fear is that the rising use of CAQDAS is resulting in the convergence towards a single orthodoxy of data analysis (Coffey et al, 1996).
		These different data types are linked by case; the fieldwork is being done by two researchers based at two different sites and a multi-disciplinary team of five is involved in the analysis.

		Analysis of large future data sets will therefore necessarily involve the intermediate step of reducing the TOD to maps.
		This means that all the information from even a giant data set (say a map with n=10^7 pixels) can be reduced to just a couple of thousand numbers, greatly facilitating parameter estimation (the next step in the pipeline).
		For smaller data sets which produce weaker constraints, more accurate results can be obtained from a brute-force likelihood analysis of the sky map, as was done for COBE (Tegmark and Bunn 1995, Hinshaw et al 1996).
