Classification, Tabulation and Data Analysis

This document discusses the classification, tabulation, and analysis of data in legal research. It defines classification as arranging data into groups based on similarities, and tabulation as condensing data into a table to facilitate comparison. The key differences between classification and tabulation are that classification happens after data collection to analyze the data, while tabulation presents the data in an organized format. Proper classification and tabulation of data is important for accurately analyzing the data in legal research.

CLASSIFICATION,
TABULATION AND
ANALYSIS OF DATA IN
LEGAL RESEARCH
INTRODUCTION
 Legal research may be defined as
‘systematic’ finding law on a particular
point and making advancement in the
science of law.
 Data collection though very important, is
not an end in itself.
 After collecting data, the method of
converting raw data into meaningful
statement.
DATA ANALYSIS
 In any research, the step of analysis of the data is
one of the most crucial tasks requiring proficient
knowledge to handle the data collected as per the
pre decided research design of the project.
 Analysis of data is defined by Prof Wilkinson and
Bhandarkar.
 After the data have been collected, the researcher
needs to turn to the task of analyzing them. Data,
in any form, are raw and neutral. Their direction
and trend is generally highlighted and reflected
with the help of analysis and interpretation.
CLASSIFICATION OF DATA
 Classification or categorization of data is
the process of arranging data in groups
or classes according to their
resemblance or affinity.
 Before analysis can be carried out to
any extent, it is necessary to continue
the classification process in much
greater detail.
 Objectives of classification.
TABULATION OF DATA
 Tabulation is a means of recording
classification in a compact form in such a
way to facilitate comparisons and show
the involved relations between two or
more variables. It is a sort of arrangement
of data in requisite rows and columns.
 Importance of Tabulation.
 Tabulation can be done by hand or by
mechanical or electronic devices.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CLASSIFICATION AND TABULATION
 The paramount differences between classification and tabulation are
discussed in the points given below:
 The process of arranging data into different categories, on the basis
of nature, behavior, or common characteristics is called classification.
A process of condensing data and presenting it in a compact form, by
putting data into statistical table, is called tabulation.
 Classification of data is done after data collection process is
completed. On the other hand, tabulation follows classification.
 Data classification is based on similar attributes and variables of the
observations. Conversely, in tabulation the data is arranged in rows
and columns, in a systematic way.
 Classification of data is performed with the objective of analyzing
data in order to draw inferences. Unlike tabulation, which aims at
presenting data, to ensure easy comparison of various figures.
 In classification, data is bifurcated into categories and sub-categories
while in tabulation data is divided into headings and sub-headings.
CONCLUSION
 In the research process, data analysis is a
very important and scientific step especially
when the researcher is conducting a
quantitative research. The researcher must
understand the research area
comprehensively and do the processing,
analysis and finally interpretation with the
help of various techniques and tools of
analysis depending upon the nature, scope
and aims of the research being conducted.
