distinguish Qualitativeresearch Expert subject statistics date November 2008 The term qualitative is used to describe certain types of information . The term is distinguished from the term Numerical data quantitative data , in which items are described in terms of quantity and in which a range of numerical values are used without implying that a particular numerical value refers to a particular distinct category. However, data originally obtained as qualitative information about individual items may give rise to quantitative data if they are summarised by means of counts and conversely, data that are originally quantitative are sometimes grouped into categories to become qualitative data for example, income below 20,000, income between 20,000 and 80,000, and income above 80,000 . Qualitative data describe items in terms of some quality or categorization that in some cases may be informal or may use relatively ill defined characteristics such as warmth and flavor such Subject philosophy subjective data are sometimes of less value to science scientific research than quantitative data. However, qualitative data can include well defined concepts such as gender, nationality or commodity type. ref Dodge Y. 2003 The Oxford Dictionary of Statistical Terms , OUP.

An index of qualitative variation IQV is a measure of statistical dispersion in nominal distribution s. There are a variety of these, but they have been relatively little studied in the statistics literature. The simplest is the variation ratio , while the most sophisticated is the information entropy . Properties There are various indices of qualitative variation a number are summarized and devised by Wilcox Harv Wilcox 1967 , Harv Wilcox 1973 , who requires the following standardization properties to be satisfied Variation varies between 0 and 1. Variation is 0 if and only if all cases belong to a single category. Variation is 1 if and only if cases are evenly divided across all category. ref This can only happen if the number of cases is a multiple of the number of categories. ref In particular, the value of these standardized indices does not depend on the number of categories or number of samples. For any index, the closer to uniform the distribution, the larger the variance, and the larger the differences in frequencies across categories, the smaller the variance. Indices of qualitative variation are in this sense complementary to information entropy , which is maximized when all cases belong to a single category and minimized in a uniform distribution, but they are not complementary in the sense of a particular IQV equaling 1 minus entropy. Indeed, information entropy can be used as an index of qualitative variation. One characterization of a particular index of qualitative variation IQV is as a ratio of observed differences to maximum differences. Formulae Wilcox gives ... as deviation from the mean.
