Class based Statistics

Apart from the statistics available in the Time Line Chart, as is described in DataSet based Statistics, INTERACT offers statistics that show your results differently:

ocumulated over all selected DataSets

ogrouped per Class

Note: A complete statistical overview, of duration and frequencies for all Classes, accumulated over all selected DataSets, can be found in Class Report.

Choose one Class from the now appearing Filter dialog.

If your data-file contains more than one DataSet, select the required DataSet(s) from the Select DataSet dialog.
(If you select multiple DataSets, all values from the selected DataSets are cumulated)

The results are displayed in a chart like this:

Coded versus not Coded

In the example pictures, you see an area that is labeled "Not coded".
This area, represents all Events of the selected DataSets, that do not contain a Code from the selected Class.

Depending on your personal preferences or the requirements for your study, you can select different calculation options within the Program settings dialog on the tab Calculation. You can even create a graph of only coded versus not coded data.
