Data Coding and Analysis
a) Data coding
We assist our customers in entering the data
into the
Computer: Data from questionnaires is coded and logged in the
computer using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). This
involves coding both open and closed ended items in order to run
simple descriptive or inferential analysis to get reports on data status. The
transcribed data is also keyed in the computer.
b) Data analysis
Quantitative Analysis involves checking the data for accuracy. After
receiving data from the field, WE screen it for accuracy so as to ensure
no major errors. In screening, KENPRO research team seeks to establish
whether:
the major items have been answered,
the responses are complete.
Quantitative analysis: Data from the interview guide (if
recorded) is analyzed qualitatively. It involves the process of
transcribing. The data is first transcribed into written form for closer
investigation. Although transcribing appears to be a straightforward
technical task, it involves judgments about what level of detail to
choose, Thus it our team to be keen and in a quiet environment. After
transcribing the recorded data, the team reads through to remove
ambiguity and repeated items (to make sense), organizes into themes and
patterns following the major research questions or objectives.

Quantitative Analysis:
Quantitative data analysis on the other
hand involves both descriptive and inferential analysis (where
applicable). Descriptive analysis such as frequencies and percentages,
means and standard deviation are used to present quantitative data in
form of tables and graphs. This is done in order to describe what the
data shows. Inferential Analysis is used to test the hypothesis. This
involves t-tests and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) among other
inferential analysis, which depend on the research design.

Charges:
We charge according to the number of items, instruments
(questionnaires, interview guides, document analysis, focus group) and the
length of each instrument. The charges may also depend on the timeframe. The
shorter the timeframe, the higher the charges. Make more
