Data processing

Our data processing services include:
Sample Excel Output
- Cross tabulations (bivariate) in an easy-to-read MS Word® or Excel® format showing statistically significant differences at two confidence levels of your choice (e.g., 90%, 95%). Versions can also be created in Excel that make creation of charts and graphs very easy.
- Weighting of the data to better reflect known distribution proportions within the population being sampled.
- Creation of relevant indices helpful for a greater depth of understanding in trending groups of variables.
- Correlation analysis: A statistical technique that measures the degree of relationship between variables. Correlation coefficients can range from -1.00 to +1.00. The value of -1.00 represents a perfect negative correlation while a value of +1.00 represents a perfect positive correlation. If a correlation is 0, this means there is no relationship.
- Factor analysis: A technique used to determine the underlying themes of a set of variables. It reduces a larger number of variables to a smaller number of factors that can be used to explain the principle themes of the data.
- Cluster analysis: As factor analysis creates themes among a set of variables, cluster analysis creates a set of thematic segments among respondents representing the population under analysis.
- MaxDiff: A choice exercise for obtaining preference/importance scores for multiple items. It is also known as "best-worst scaling" and is most commonly used for message testing, brand preference, customer satisfaction, and product features.
