1 Data Analysis and Statistical Software Workshop Ted Kasha, B.S. Kimberly Galt, Pharm.D., Ph.D.(c) May 14, 2009

2 Learning Objectives: Data analysis commonly used today Available data analysis software packages Practice coding field data instruments SPSS use and some of its functionalities Training opportunities available

3 Introduction to Data Analysis Software Data analysis software packages exist for: Quantitative Qualitative Mixed Methods Special application uses to highlight: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Modeling

4 Knowledge Claims, Strategies of Inquiry, and Methods Leading to Approaches and the Design Process Elements of Inquiry Alternative Knowledge Claims Paradigm or World View Strategies of Inquiry Quantitative (quan), Qualitative (qual), Mixed (quan+qual) Methods - Procedures Design Processes Approaches to Research of Research Qualitative Theoretical lens Quantitative Data collection Mixed Methods Data analysis Write-up Validation Conceptualized Translated By researcher Into practice Modified from original in Creswell, J.W. (2003) Chapter 1: A framework for design, in Research design: qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. Sage Publications, Thousand Oaks, CA Kimberly Galt

5 Juxtaposition of Qualitative and Quantitative Scientific Beliefs Qualitative World Emphasis on qualities of entities and on processes and meanings that are not experimentally examined or measured in terms of quantity, amount, intensity or frequency. There is a socially constructed nature of reality, an intimate relationship between the researcher and what is studied, and the situational constraints that shape inquiry. Seek answers to questions about how social experience is created and given meaning. Quantitative World Emphasis on the measurement and analysis of causal relationships between variables, not processes. Proponents of such studies claim that their work is done from within a value-free framework. Both Worlds Think they know something about society worth telling to others, and use a variety of forms, media and means to communicate their ideas and feelings. Becker, H.S. (1986). Doing things together. Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press.

6 A general picture of the differences between quantitative and qualitative research Quantitative research: broad, generalizable trends Qualitative research: in-depth, contextual picture and the combination to construct mixed methods

7 Strategies of Inquiry What research method to use? Quantitative Qualitative Mixed Method Experimental Between Group Designs Within Group Designs Quasi-Experimental Correlational Explanatory Prediction Survey Cross-Sectional Longitudinal Grounded Theory Systematic Emerging Constructivist Ethnographic Realistic Critical Case Study Narrative Research Biography Phenomenology Case Study Action Research Practical Participatory Community-Based Mixed Designs Triangulation Embedded Sequential Explanatory Exploratory 2008 Kimberly Galt

8 Methods Procedures Within Quantitative Procedures Predetermined Instrument based questions Data Performance Attitude Observational Census Claims Analysis Statistical 2008 Kimberly Galt Qualitative Procedures Emerges through study Open ended questions Data Interviews Direct observation Documents Audio and Visual Analysis Coded and Thematic text and image analysis Mixed Method Procedures Predetermined and emerges Open, closed and instrument based questions Data All forms in both quantitative and qualitative procedures. May transform between qual and quan forms. Analysis Statistical are integrated or compared with text and/or image analysis.

9 Approach to Data Analysis Category Type Technical Method Quantitative Qualitative Mixed Special cases: Geographic Modeling Numeric Text Visual Sound Computer Manual Kimberly A. Galt, 2009

10 Examples Quantitative Data Qualitative Data Interviews Open ended questions

11 Mixed Methods Data Examples

12 Examples Geographic (GIS)

13 Example: E E A 15F USEFU L efficient Modeling Figure 4 Modified Health Information Technology Adoption Model and Proposed Prediction Galt, KA EDPS 971 SEM E E D 15E USEFUL accuracy D D E E H 11I LEARN OUTCOME a OUTCOME b E E C 11F EMOTION E 1 11N 11O LOSS 1 E E 11A 11P 23G 23H 1 E All parameter estimates significant at p<.0001 E 1 E 1

14 Software Advantages Quantitative Perform calculations rapidly Perform complex calculations difficult to do manually Qualitative Prompts detailed analysis; line by line code Store all types of data (photos and text) Transform data from qual to quan Kimberly A. Galt, 2009

15 Software Packages Data Collection Quantitative Qualitative Mixed Methods Statistical Modeling Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

16 Data Collection Software Microsoft Excel Advantages: Easy to use University-wide license Familiar application for most end users Disadvantages: Lack of reports and forms

17 Data Collection Software Microsoft Access Advantages: University-wide license Wizards to easily create forms and reports Disadvantages: More time consuming to setup than an Excel spreadsheet

18 Data Collection Software BlueQ (Vovici Online Surveys) Advantages: University-wide license Create online surveys Participant completes the data entry Disadvantages: Limited number of question types and formatting options Not everyone has access to the internet

19 Quantitative Software Excel Analysis ToolPak Advantages: Free add-on to Microsoft Excel Easy to use Provides basic statistical analysis Anova, Correlation, Covariance, Descriptive Statistics, Sampling, etc. Disadvantages: Limited analysis options

20 Quantitative Software SPSS Advantages: Similar to Microsoft Excel in terms of visual layout Complex statistical analysis Advanced functionality (filter data, split data, save syntax and output files) Disadvantages: Can not easily determine how calculations are being preformed

21 Quantitative Software SAS Advantages: Complex statistical analysis Advanced functionality (filter data, split data, save syntax and output files) Disadvantages: More command line based (writing code)

22 SPSS Text Analysis Qualitative Software Advantages: Similar to Microsoft Products in terms of visual layout and organization Linguistic search tool is powerful Relatively accurate on first pass of extraction Disadvantages: Not useful for many qualitative research designs

23 Qualitative Software Atlas.ti Advantages: Practical tracking of codes, memos, and quotes Disadvantages: Manually organizing multiple windows

24 Qualitative Software MaxQDA Advantages: All analysis windows populate simultaneously it looks like quantitative data Disadvantages: Less flexible and user friendly coding system

25 Qualitative Software Nvivo Advantages: One of the oldest programs on the market Disadvantages: Organized differently than AtlasTI and MaxQDA

26 Statistical Modeling Software LISREL Mplus Advantages: Windows based modeling Disadvantages: Cumbersome with data conversion for importing

27 GIS Software Google Earth Advantages: Easy to use Free basic version Disadvantages: Limited analysis options

28 GIS Software ESRI AcrGIS Advantage: Advanced analysis options (geoprocessing tools, scripting, extensions) Disadvantage: Steeper learning curve
