Qualitative Data Analysis
Qualitative Data Analysis
we move from thequalitative data that have been collected into some form of
explanation, understanding or interpretation of the people and situations we are
investigating. QDA is usually based on an interpretative philosophy.
Proximity Matrix
Each row of the matrix is a profile of m numbers, where m is the number of variables.
We can evaluate the proximity (in this case, the distance) between any pair of rows.
Now, consider what it means, for a moment, that the variables are the columns.
Research Design
The research design refers to the overall strategy that you choose to integrate the
different components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby, ensuring you
will effectively address the research problem; it constitutes the blueprint for the
collection, measurement, and analysis of data.
Collation
Collation is the assembly of written information into a standard order. Many systems of
collation are based on numerical order or alphabetical order, or extensions and
combinations thereof. Collation is a fundamental element of most office filing
systems, library catalogs, and reference books.
Collation differs from classification in that classification is concerned with arranging
information into logical categories, while collation is concerned with the ordering of
items of information, usually based on the form of their identifiers. Formally speaking, a
collation method typically defines a total order on a set of possible identifiers, called sort
keys, which consequently produces a total preorder on the set of items of information
(items with the same identifier are not placed in any defined order).
What is Profile Matrix
Profile matrix of a group of robotic agents is a matrix where every row entry
corresponds to the vote profile of an individual agent. Learn more in: Opportunistic

Dissimilarity
1. The quality of being distinct or unlike; difference.
2. A point of distinction or difference. See Synonyms at difference.
Matrix Similarity
for some invertible n-by-n matrix P. Similar matrices represent the same linear
operator under two (possibly) different bases, with P being the change of
basis matrix.
A transformation A ↦ P−1AP is called a similarity transformation or conjugation
of the matrix A. In the general linear group, similarity is therefore the same
as conjugacy, and similar matrices are also called conjugate; however in a given
subgroup H of the general linear group, the notion of conjugacy may be more
restrictive than similarity, since it requires that P be chosen to lie in H.
Résumé
A résumé, also spelled resume, is a document used by a person to present their
backgrounds and skills. Résumés can be used for a variety of reasons, but most often
they are used to secure new employment.
A typical résumé contains a "summary" of relevant job experience and education, as its
French origin implies. The résumé is usually one of the first items, along with a cover
letter and sometimes an application for employment, which a potential employer sees
regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by
an interview.
The curriculum vitae (CV) used for employment purposes in the UK (and in other
European countries) is more akin to the résumé—a shorter, summary version of one's
education and experience—than to the longer and more detailed CV that is expected in
U.S. academic circles.
Generally, the résumé is substantially shorter than a CV in English Canada,
the U.S. and Australia.
In South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, biodata is often used
in place of a résumé.
