DATA PROCESSING
Field Editing
Central Editing
FIELD EDITING
The field editing consists of review
of the reporting forms by the
investigator for completing or
translating what the latter has
written in abbreviated form at the
time of interviewing the respondent
CENTRAL EDITING
Central editing should be carried
out when all the forms of schedules
have been completed and returned
to the headquarters.
CODING OF DATA
Coding in its most basic form is the simple
operation of identifying segments of meaning
in your data and labelling them with a code.
Coding can be defined as “a word or short
phrase that symbolically assigns a summative,
salient, essence-capturing, and evocative
attribute for a portion of language-based or
visual data”
ADVANTAGES OF CODING
Acquire deep, comprehensive and
thorough insights into your data
Make the data easily accessible and
retrievable
Sorting and structuring your data
Ensuring transparency
Ensuring transparency
Giving a voice to one’s participants
TYPES OF CODING
INDUCTIVE CODING
DEDUCTIVE CODING
INDUCTIVE CODING
Inductive coding is a research methods for
generating themes from textual datasets,
such as transcribed semi-structured
interviews or transcriptions of speeches
and audio.
Inductive coding is also known as “open
coding” or “data-driven coding”
Inductive coding is a bottom up approach
where you start with no codes and
develops codes as you analyze the dataset.
DEDUCTIVE CODING
Deductive coding is a top down approach
where you start by developing a codebook with
your initial set of codes.
Deductive coding means you start with a
predefined set of codes, then assign those
codes to the new qualitative data.
Deductive coding is also called concept-driven
coding.
TABULATION
The progression of placing off the record
statistics/facts into tabular form is known as
tabulation.
Tabulation passes on to the meticulous
arrangement of the information in to two
forms (i.e. Columns and rows) These columns
and rows are systematically put in an order
and are horizontally arranged.
The most important intention of the table is
to formulate simpler the figures / numbers
and to facilitate comparisons.
OBJECTIVES IF TABULATION
To bring out investigation and for evaluation of
data
To find omissions and errors in the data
(To employ space economically and learn the
development trends and make things easier to
understand the statistical figures for future
reference
To facilitate the process of comparison,
summarization and detections of computational
errors
PRINCIPALS OF TABULATION
Tables should be comprehensible, concise and adequately titled.
Each and every table should be distinctly numbered for easy reference.
The heading in each and every column and rows in a table should be
very clear, specific or relevant and brief.
Instructive footnotes should be placed at appropriate places in a table
with a suitable indications
Source of information of data should be clearly indicated.
The columns and rows should be clearly separated with dark lines
Differentiation should also be made between data of one class and that
of another.
Comparable data should be presented side by side.
The figures in percentage should be approximated before tabulation.
The alignment of the figures, symbols etc. should be properly aligned
and adequately spaced to enhance the readability of the same.
Abbreviations should be avoided.
PREPARATION OF TABLES
Preparation of any data or information
should be in a proficiency manner. Following
are few of doctrine which a research should
be followed for the purpose of preparing a
faultless or clear table.
Table Number: The number of the table must be positioned at the central point on the top
of the table.
Captions and stubs: It includes the perpendicular column’s headings with horizontal
row’s headings.
Head notes: It is clear statement given below the title which clarifies the contents of the
table.
Body: The data in a tabular form should be put all the facts and figures and it should be
presented in a systematic manner.
Source: The basis from which the data were obtained should be specifically given such as
the names, pages with number; table numbers from where the data had been took.
FORMAT OF TABLE
TYPES OF TABULATION
Simple Tabulation – The statistics are
tabulated to one distinctive format.
Double Tabulation – Two exclusive or
different data are tabulated.
Complex Tabulation – Complex
tabulation of figures includes extra
data than two characteristics.
SIMPLE TABULATION
DOUBLE TABULATION
COMPLEX TABULATION
DATA TABULATION AND ANALYSIS
MERITS OF TABULATION
It simplifies the complex information to understand easy.
It will help to make comparison of related facts and facilitates
computation of various statistical measures like averages,
dispersion, correlation etc.
It presents facts in a nutshell and avoids unnecessary
repetitions and explanations are avoided. Moreover, the needed
information can be easily located.
Tabulated data are good for references and they make it easier
to present the information in the form of graphs and diagrams
