1 Data Analysis as a Linear Process A strictly linear approach to data analysis is to work through the components in order, from beginning to end. A possible advantage of this approach is that it is structured and organized, as the steps of the process are arranged in a fixed order. in addition, this linear conceptualization of the process may make it easier to learn. A possible disadvantage is that the step-by-step nature of the decision making may obscure or limit the power of the analyses – in other words, the structured nature of the process limits its effectiveness. © AED/TAC-12 Spring 2006.

Data Analysis as a Cycle A cyclical approach to data analysis provides much more flexibility to the nature of the decision making and also includes more and different kinds of decisions to be made. in this approach, different components of the process can be worked on at different times and in different sequences – as long as everything comes “together” at the end. A possible advantage of this approach is that program staff are not “bound” to work on each step in order. The potential exists for program staff to “learn by doing” and to make improvements to the process before it is completed. Data Analysis: In Cyclical Terms Therefore, the simplest possible answer to the question, what is data analysis, is probably: iT DEPEnDS. Rather than chose to present ‘data analysis’ as either linear or cyclical, we have decided to present both approaches. Hopefully, this choice will give MSHS program staff the options and flexibility to make informed decisions, to utilize skills that they already have, and to grow and develop the ability to use data and its analysis to support program/agency purposes and goals. © AED/TAC-12 Spring 2006.
