Session 2: “You Can’t Do Good

Statistics from Bad Data.”

Some Reminders and Preliminaries Prior to Data Analysis


Data Cleaning
• Collected data pass through the process of cleaning to remove ambiguous
elements. Content analysis is also applied to capture information from the
open-ended questions (items) which are also subject to quantification in a
quantitative research.
Data Coding
• Coding refers to the process of assigning numerals or other symbols to
answers so that responses can be put into a limited number of categories
(Connelly, 2000). Coding is a vital step where the collected data is translated
into values suitable for computer entry and statistical analysis.
