    About this ebook

    Analysing data is perhaps the most demanding stage of research - and certainly the least visible. This concise e-book demystifies the process by explaining the principles and practice of good quality data analysis. It describes the key quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as creative and mixed methods, and offers guidance on how to choose suitable methods for your research. The book emphasises the need for robust and rigorous analysis, and aims to enable you to draw clear lines from your data, through your findings, to your conclusions.

      Short overview of most common statistical methods (qualitative and quantitative). Book gives description of each of the methods and what they "physically" describe in the data and why they are useful. You will need to look into other resources to find how to do each of these, but it can help you work out which ones you might need.
      Haven't needed to use lots of these statistical methods for a long time, this was a good refresher.
