The interviews were conducted based on a qualitative, comprehensive method using life story interviews [1, 5, 12].
We propose a method based on a qualitative analysis of a Petri net model of the system.
Our selection method is based on a qualitative visual inspection of the images.
The molecular methods are mainly based on a qualitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) identification of breast tissue-related mRNA sequences and show, in experimental models, a sensitivity in the range of 1 : 10–10, which is generally higher than immunocytochemistry (Smith et al, 2000; Jiang et al, 2002).
The research approach is based on the qualitative method (Maylor and Blackmon, 2005; Myers, 2013) with the inclusion of a single method approach, and the sources of the research are of a secondary nature (documents, reports, newspapers, articles, paper and scientific books).
The comparison of the results of the mammographic density assessment based on the quantitative computer-assisted method and those based on the qualitative method developed from the American College of Radiology (ACR) revealed that higher percentage of mammographic density was associated with higher ACR category of mammographic density (Table 3).
In addressing these two questions, the study relied on a balanced assessment scheme, one based on quantitative and qualitative methods.
Some main categories were split into major and minor themes based on a directed qualitative content analysis method [34 36].
In this study, we use a hybrid approach that crosses quantitative methods (network analysis based on bibliometrics) and qualitative methods (discourse analysis and literature review) at different spatial and temporal scales.
A process evaluation based on quantitative and qualitative methods was considered the most appropriate and feasible way of answering both questions.
