Stages for the initiation of a statistical investigation
The process of conducting a statistical investigation involves several key stages. Initially, careful planning is required to define the scope, population, and period of analysis, and to establish clear objectives and a timeline.
Stages for the initiation of a statistical investigation
Data collection
You must choose the topic, find the information, locate and select the material, evaluate the reference of the material, take notes, build the project.
Collection methods are diverse and depend on the
possibilities of access or contact with the investigated elements of the size of the population or sample.
It is the moment in which the investigator contacts with the objects or elements under study, specify the variables and identify data sources.
A group and practical work must be carried out, to propose a work with a question posed, population, sample, type of variable, table, graph.
There are several techniques to collect data, such as: observation, interview, questionnaire, survey.
It can be carried out in two modalities: the documentary or bibliographical research technique, and the field work technique.
Planning
Determine the geographic scope, population,
human group, period of analysis, elaboration
Activities Calendar.
It bases and determines the objectives, identifies and evaluates sources of information, population and elements, studied for the analysis.
Organization and presentation of data
The validity of their results and conclusions depend
the reliability of the data used.
Organization, classification and organization in
tables and graphs
Data analysis and identification
The interpretation of the data
and results are made in the context
of the research objectives.
mathematical arguments and
statistical theorists
Formulation of conclusions and preparation of the report
It must be precise in such a way that it facilitates
a good statistical unit.
