Residents anticipating, eliciting and interpreting physical findings

Analyzing and Interpreting Findings

Qualitative research begins with questions, and its ultimate purpose is learning. To inform the questions, the researcher collects data. Data are like building blocks that, when grouped into patterns, become information, which in turn, when applied or used, becomes knowledge (Rossman & Rallis, 2003). The challenge of qualitative analysis lies in making sense of large amounts of data—reducing ra...

Interpreting Measurements of Physical Systems

An unsolved problem in qualitative physics is generating a qualitative understanding of how a physical system is behaving from raw data, especially numerical data taken across time, to reveal changing internal state. Yet providing this ability to “read gauges” is a critical step towards building the next generation of intelligent computer-aided engineering systems and allowing robots to work in...

Interpreting nonsignificant findings in psychological research

In this study, we examined the current practice and alternative methods for interpreting nonsignificant findings in psychological research. The traditional null-hypothesis testing presents a challenge for researchers to interpret nonsignificant findings. We reviewed the abstracts of all empirical articles published in three high-esteem psychological journals in 2015 and selected those which ref...

Interpreting Physical Evidence of Coyote Predation

There are situations where it is necessary to determine the cause of death of livestock, game animals, or other wildlife. C n t a ~ a used for recognizing predator kills are well known and scientifically documented. These criteria include the attack, killing and feeding behavior of predators as well as the characterist~cs of the~r tracks, droppmgs, and canlne teeth size and spacing. Diagnostic ...
