Saldana (2014) suggest qualitative researchers to analyze data at the same time as collection of the data. Therefore, I will transcribe each interview immediately to start analyzing. In this way, I will not only find ways of collecting new and better data, but also start thinking about the existing data. My theoretical framework to analyze this data is Grounded Theory, which utilizes inductive sorting, and that allows the researcher to use data itself to make ideas theories (Galman, 2013). In…

BEEG performance measurement is calculated using the general method as well as the “standard method” of Confusion Matrix and is presented in following sections. 6.2.1 Using General Method: Although more or less, the end results were similar for all mental tasks performed on subjects under various categories as shown in all graphs of Chapter 6 and Fig B.1 to B.10 in appendix B, but for ease, mean accuracy chart is figured out here using all graphs and are shown next. The mean accuracy of BEEG…

gathering and selling mass amounts of user data. The companies who work in this industry are called data brokers. This term can be used to describe companies that only work in this business, such as Epsilon or Acxiom, but it can also be used to describe other companies that collect data like Facebook and Google. They collect and distribute information on consumers, and lately a lot of that collecting has taken place online. Most of the effects of this kind of data collection are also primarily…

Primary research entails collection of original data specifically for your own objectives. You would collect the data for your needs in research. The primary data is collected by you directly from the research. This data could be in the form of responses of people to questionnaires, interviews, surveys, and observations (OWL, 1995-2015).

the article “How to Avoid Statistical Traps”, explains why researchers should be careful when examining and presenting data. Bracey claims that when collecting data to conduct a research study, it is important that researchers use multiple data sources. He provides an explanation of the issues with using only one statistical source of data. Research conducted using only one data source will most likely not be accurate. For example, if a researcher conducted a study on the attendance of eleventh…
