Qualitative Sampling v Statistical Analysis v Daubert

FEWA Quarterly Newsletter (www.forensic.org) (04/2008)

(This article provides an introduction to the peer-reviewed paper, Qualitative Sampling of the Building Envelope for Water Leakage, published in the Journal of ASTM International.)

"In the end, the core of the scientific method for all quantitative and qualitative surveys consists of a puzzle-solving strategy or methodology for analysis (or elimination) of rival explanations or hypotheses. This strategy may start its puzzle solving with hypothesis (i.e., quantitative analysis) or it may start with evidence (i.e., qualitative analysis). The quantitative survey begins by forming a hypothesis that can be evaluated statistically upon later collection of evidence, while the qualitative survey starts the puzzle-solving process by collecting evidence from which substantive explanations will emerge. In both cases, the core of the scientific method is represented by the strategy of analysis of plausible rival hypotheses." (Credit for this insightful perspective belongs to M.Q. Patton and also to Donald Campbell from his acclaimed foreword to R. K. Yin's book: Case Study Research: Design and Methods by Sage Publications.)
