Qualitative Analysis

Qualitative research intends to search for answers from questions of “how, where, when who and why” with an evaluation to create a concept or refute a present theory.

Validity is a qualitative research implies “appropriateness” of the tools, processes, and statics. Whether the study questions are effective for the ideal outcomes, the choices of methodology are fitting for answering the research questions, the objects are valid for the methods, the sampling and statics study is correct, and lastly the outcomes and assumptions are applicable for the samples and contexts. Yes, quantitative research and validity are correct assertions. When writing your dissertation, you need to know the difference between quantitative and validity to get your point across, when writing your dissertation.

Text mining can be sum up a process of "numbering " text. At the minimal level, every texts create in the input documents will be catalogue and analyzed in order to start a table of documents and word.  For example, a matrix of occurrences will have tallied the numbers of stages that each text mining takes place in each word document.
