Environmental-quality goals can be either numerical or narrative.
Unexpectedly, the included studies are of either a mixed methodology or quantitative origin, thus facilitating data to be extracted and presented in both a numerical and narrative format.
Overall, in both cases, across actor groups and across the different forms of scenarios (i.e., raw CIB scenarios as well as in the derived narrative, numerical and integrated scenarios), assumptions on future developments were perceived as highly traceable.
StatSheet, a two-year-old subsidiary of Automated Insights, uses algorithms to turn numerical data into narrative articles and is comprised of 418 websites that provide game previews, recaps and other features for every Division I college basketball, NFL, and MLB team, as well as analysis of each team's top players.
For example, individuals vary in their preference for graphical versus numerical statistics and narrative formats.
Mixed-methods researchers are pragmatic, collect both narrative and numerical data, employ both structured and emergent designs, analyze their data both via statistical and content analysis, and make meta-inferences as answers to their research questions by integrating the inferences gleaned from their qualitative and quantitative findings.
