DATA COLLECTION AND DATA PRESENTATION
Data analysis is the process of developing answers to questions through the
examination and interpretation of data. The basic steps in the analytic process
consist of identifying issues, determining the availability of suitable data, deciding
on which methods are appropriate for answering the questions of interest,
applying the methods and evaluating, summarizing and communicating the
results. Data analysis is essential for understanding results from surveys,
administrative sources and pilot studies; for providing information on data gaps;
for designing and redesigning surveys; for planning new statistical activities; and
for formulating quality objectives.
