Use QDA Miner’s mixed methods software package for analyzing a combination of qualitative and quantitative data. The new capabilities in QDA Miner version 6 help improve the content analysis process for coding, annotating, retrieving, and analyzing small and large collections of text data. The new grid display mode helps expedite the coding of open-ended content, such as support cases and survey responses, where data is organized in a table format. This table format allows research analysts to view and categorize data with a drag & drop interface and provides a better understanding of the major support issues that need to be addressed. Version 6 improves the visual display of the content analysis results using features such as an interactive word cloud diagram and a sophisticated quotation matrix.

New Features:

Coding

• New grid view mode for coding short text responses
• Quotation matrices to display selected quotes by a chosen classification variable
• Enhanced annotation feature

Analysis

• Word frequency analysis and word clouds
• Deviation tables to display the most frequent and least frequent codes for a chosen classification variable

Numerical Calculation

• Numerical transformations, including common mathematical and statistical functions
• Binning to convert continuous numerical variables into categories

Visualization

• Donut, Radar, 100% stacked bar, and area charts
• Ordering of series in comparison charts
• Color coding of items in correspondence plots
• Improved bubble charts
