Data

Answer. Any structured documents such as completed questionnaires, forms, records of observations and measurements, experiment notes, report cards, expert evaluations, invoices, accounts, etc.

What are the types of documents you can process and analyze with DALSolution?

Answer. Examples of documents:

Company specific office documentation;
Surveys: social, political, electoral, market, medical;
Records of measurements and experiments in physics, chemistry, technology, biology, genetics

Instead of just accumulating, these documents should be entered into a computer and analyzed to produce results in the form of reports, references, slide presentations, articles and dissertations. All these operations are supported by DALSolution 4.0.

Qualitative and quantitative information

Often, documents (source data) contain both quantitative variables represented as numbers, and qualitative (non-quantitative) variables in the form of text.

How are the problems of processing qualitative and quantitative data solved?

Answer. DALSolution works with both quantitative and qualitative information. All the main operation modes of DALSolution (Dictionary of Variables, Distribution Tables, Rules Tables, Secondary Variables, Context) support the analysis of numeric and textual data. Because of this, the joint analysis of numeric and non-numeric (textual) information is the strongest feature of DALSolution. In addition, DALSolution supports operations on dates and temporal data.
