The data analysis processThe data analysis process involves three steps: (STEP ONE) select the correct statistical tests to run on your data; (STEP TWO) prepare and analyse the data you have collected using a relevant statistics package; and (STEP THREE) interpret the findings properly so that you can write up your results (i.e., usually in Chapter Four: Results). The basic idea behind each of these steps is relatively straightforward, but the act of analysing your data (i.e., by selecting statistical tests, preparing your data and analysing it, and interpreting the findings from these tests) can be time consuming and challenging. We have tried to make this process as easy as possible by providing comprehensive, step-by-step guides in the Data Analysis part of Lærd Dissertation, but you should leave time at least one week to analyse your data.
