Talk:Qualitative data

This is a qualitative program

This article in its present form presents several issues. The statements are inaccurate, unsubstantiated and epistemiologically partisan. The very definition of qualitative data as "informal" data is in sharp contradiction with the last sentence "it is possible to approximate quantitative data from qualitative data" (thus qual. data are formalisable). The statement "qualitative data are generally (but not always) of less value to scientific research than quantitative data" is the most problematic one. In many a scientific field(from anthropology to demography) qualitative data are just about as important and rich as the quantitative. The statement as to "their subjective and intangible nature" is questionable, too. The colour of someone's hair, e.g., is no more subjective than a temperature. And someone's sex ("M/F") is no more "intangible" than someone's someone's weight. --77.206.236.73 (talk) 06:52, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
