The advantage of the first strategy is that it shows changes over time and allows for (descriptive) examination of sequence/order effects and carry-over effects.
The inherent subjectivity of questionnaire results, as well as semiquantitative histological grading, allows for descriptive presentation of the material, rather than statistical analysis.
Causal-descriptive theories (which allow for a descriptive component) tackle such problems while retaining the key idea that referential continuity is possible despite radical theory change (Kroon 1985, Sankey 1994).
In addition, we are currently examining options for online publishing that would allow for the descriptive analysis of the policy data along the dimensions of jurisdictions, time and health services.
Weights are applied to each edge by calculating the square of the mean of the two adjacent nodes of the edge, FC 1 + FC 2 2. The average weighting scheme was considered best suited to the random walk approach as it allows for more descriptive probabilities than weighting schemes that use for example, maximum or minimum values.
An exploratory, descriptive approach allowed for a greater understanding of the BCMP students' experiences considering the context, the behaviours and attitudes related to professionalism [ 22- 24].
Third, the integration of multiple data sources enhanced validity evidence as it allowed for triangulation within the descriptive case summary and, specifically, the qualitative findings provided context for participation trends that had previously not been captured across terms.
This allowed for codes to be clustered into descriptive categories, each comprising several subcategories.
Axial coding conducted by the qualitative lead involved close analysis and comparison of all descriptive codes, which allowed for new critical codes to emerge, including conflicting codes.
This allowed for member checking and clarification of issues from previous interviews during data collection, increasing descriptive and interpretive validity.
