The event is 10.00 to 5 pm.
Morning: demonstrations of three new methods mixtures.
1) To study "keyness" is our first mixture. Keyness measures how 'key' a word in to a particular text. We use a count-and-match statistical method for a small corpus of data, then use discourse analysis.
2) Our second method is a statistical F test of a Boolean truth table with fuzzy sets.
3) Thirdly we explore how measurement error can bias and ruin a regression result. This leads us to promote the validation of measurement through in-depth methods. Your strengths as a qualitative researcher are enhanced when you are able to critically assess the weaknesses of each regression used.
