Introduction |
Any data is useless as long as it does not make sense. It requires taking raw data; finding and correcting any errors; tabulating it and creating spreadsheets or similar types of documents. This is to create response patterns so that data can be read and interpreted.
This task requires skilled and experienced people working their hands on it. Not only because clients do not have time and expertise to do it but also because they do not want their project to be handled by rookies. By outsourcing their data processing projects to Analytics World, they get most innovative data processing services at highly economical prices.

Data Processing Cycle |
That said we present our Data Processing services to global
clients. Our data processing cycle is present below for
your review:
· Editing
· Coding
· Data Entry/Punching
· Data Cleaning /Data validation
· Tabulation/Cross Tabs

DATA EDITING |
|
Once
data is collected from varied sources, it is tested rigorously.
We recommend proper execution ethics -- all of the data collected
is definitely used. Do not select only those data which
fit the hypothesis.
When it is certain that the data is filtered and
the remaining are unwanted or irrelevant data we proceed
to dump the latter. Only the necessary information is retained.
Our data editing experience helps determine the
relevance of data. There are no short cuts that’ll
hamper the project’s bottom line.

DATA CODING |
|
Even
after filtering, it is natural that required information
will be in a random order. To align this data into a particular
system so that it is easy to understand and analyze
a process called ‘netting’ or ‘bucketing’ is used.
Using a statistical approach, data is labeled, usually with
simple, numerical codes using a statistical approach. It
is always better to do coding in office than by interviewers
in the field to reduce errors as much as possible.
The type of questioning plays an important part in coding.
The questions might be closed-ended or open-ended. In reality,
closed-ended data coding is a lot simpler than open-ended
data coding. Netting or bucketing groups certain same or
similar responses into a single entity.
It is important to decide the extent to which approximations can be stretched
(without causing inconsistencies) in the final result.

DATA ENTRY |
|
After
deciding the required code the edited data is entered into
software such as SPSS for the cross tabulation. It's here that the
skill of the data entry professional comes into play - years of
experience ensures a highest level of accuracy with
data input.
|
|
| |
|
DATA CLEANING/DE-PARSING |
|
To
ensure that the process is fool-proof we need to conduct a through
re-check of the data. This second phase of cleaning is an
important step in the data processing cycle as ensures high
accuracy. If need be, redo some of the interviews
or responses, comparison analysis etc.
|
|
| |
|
TABULATION |
| The
final step is your end product. The results are tabulated
and produced in a systematic format. SPSS is the main tool,
but data processing team will also be proficient in MS Excel
and MS Access as well.
