Method for analysing qualitative data Description[edit] Thematic analysis is sometimes erroneously assumed to be only compatible with phenomenology or experiential approaches to qualitative research. Braun and Clarke argue that their reflexive approach is equally compatible with social constructionist, poststructuralist and critical approaches to qualitative research.[16] They emphasise the theoretical flexibility of thematic analysis and its use within realist, critical realist and relativist ontologies and positivist, contextualist and constructionist epistemologies. Like most research methods, the process of thematic analysis of data can occur both inductively or deductively.[1] In an inductive approach, the themes identified are strongly linked to the data.[4] This means that the process of coding occurs without trying to fit the data into pre-existing theory or framework.

Analysis of data is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains. Data mining is a particular data analysis technique that focuses on modeling and knowledge discovery for predictive rather than purely descriptive purposes. Business intelligence covers data analysis that relies heavily on aggregation, focusing on business information. In statistical applications, some people divide data analysis into descriptive statistics, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and confirmatory data analysis (CDA).
EDA focuses on discovering new features in the data and CDA on confirming or falsifying existing hypotheses. The process of data analysis[edit] Data cleaning[edit] Initial data analysis[edit] Analysis[edit]
