ABSTRACT
The range of techniques available for the analysis and interpretation of both quantitative and qualitative data is enormous. A full account of statistical methods alone would fill many volumes. The purpose of this chapter is therefore to provide an overview of the main methods of analysis and to indicate their potential applications rather than to give detailed instruction in how particular statistics are calculated or how to undertake textual interpretation. Guidance to sources dealing with these topics in depth is given at the end of the chapter.
