Document Summary
Qualitative analysis entail segmenting and reassembling the data in the light of the problem statement. Findings can consist of description that are more or less theoretical as well as interpretive explanations of the research subject.

You explain what you think it means and how you think it should be understood patterns and relationships. Data are reassembled, providing an interpretation or explanation of a question or particular problem, then evaluated and critically examined it may be accepted or rejected. We can distinguish two types of analysis: oriented towards the themes or categories presented in the data, oriented towards the case, such as organizations, activities, events, situations or participants. Several different terms are used to describe two categories: code / case based analysis; cross case or within case analysis, cross sectional or categorical indexing and non cross sectional indexing.
