The category list is also called the codebook in the Categorization section, which is similar to the questionnaire in a survey. The researcher designs coding categories and the coders will code or classify the sample text. In a questionnaire survey, the interviewer asks the respondent for answers, and in the […]
Why after modifying the coding category or category option, there are no corresponding data results in the statistical analysis?
The modified category or category option does not match the coding result of the coded data. It is recommended to rerun machine coding or manual coding.
Why do we need reliability tests?
Reliability test is to unify coders’ understanding and reduce their differences. The inter-coder reliability test is used as a measurement standard. Only when the inter-coder reliability reach a certain level can the formal coding procedures start.
What is the priority relationship between machine coding and manual coding results?
DiVoMiner® prioritize manual coding by default, because manual coding is used to check and correct machine coding, and the accuracy of manual coding should be higher than machine coding. Therefore, for data that has been machine-coded, the manual coding result will overwrite the machine coding result. Rerunning machine coding over the […]
Why after the keywords are set in the coding category options, they are not highlighted in the coding text, and there is no automatic pre-selection of coding options?
Please check whether the keyword setting format is correct. For example, whether logical words AND/OR/NOT are capitalized; whether there are spaces before and after logical words; whether logical symbols such as () “” are English half-width symbols and used in pairs; and whether English phrases are enclosed in English quotation […]
Why can’t I submit the coding result during the coding process?
If you are unable to submit the coding result, please check the coding page if any required category questions have not been answered. If you need to skip certain category questions (without answers/no category option being selected), cancel the selection of the [Required] option of the questions on the Categorization […]
What if the codebook import failed?
Please download the category template and check whether the format of the uploaded codebook file is correct. The uploaded TXT format file needs to be encoded with the “UTF-8” setting. If not, please use [save as] to save the category list file in that format. You can do this by […]
After modifying the coding category (Title/Option/Keyword), will the machine coding result be updated simultaneously?
No. Machine coding results will not be updated simultaneously. After modifying the coding category, you need to execute [Rerun Machine Coding] to obtain the updated coding result.
What are the format requirements for setting category keywords?
Brackets (), quotation marks “”, etc. need to be used as half-width format; and they must be used in pairs. Logical keywords (Boolean terms): AND/OR/NOT need to have a space before and after. With successful input, the logical keywords (AND/OR/NOT) will be shown in black color, and the keywords will […]
What is the function of setting category keywords?
The corresponding keywords can be set for each category option. The role of the keywords is: In manual coding, the keywords can be highlighted in the coded text with pre-select category options for coding reference; In machine coding, keywords are the logical basis for machine evaluation. That is, after setting […]
