Of a form of analysis that determines the amount of some element or compound in a sample
When used to modify terms as data and research, the term quantitative generally implies that the data or research findings are projectible to a larger population
Relating to, concerning, or based on the amount or number of something, capable of being measured or expressed in numerical terms
(of verse) having a metric system based on relative duration of syllables; "in typical Greek and Latin verse of the classical period the rhymic system is based on some arrangement of long and short elements"
(adj ) A type of data that has numerical value Quantitative data are further classified by the number of components and by the scales of values used (e g , scalar, vector, or tensor)
relating to, or expressed in terms of, quantity Quantitative research is based on numerical data
a way to describe an event or occurrence using specific values and measures typically avoiding sentiment and/or feeling (i e ' a 3 4 km walk ')
Sampling that uses filters or adsorbents to collect chemicals from the air The filters or adsorbents are sent to an outside lab for analysis to determine the exact quantity of each chemical in the sample
Quantitative means relating to different sizes or amounts of things. the advantages of quantitative and qualitative research. + quantitatively quan·ti·ta·tive·ly We cannot predict quantitatively the value or the cost of a new technology. relating to amounts rather than to the quality or standard of something quantitative analysis/methods/data etc
using numbers i e more than qualitative By actually measuring the mass of the falling body, and its surface area, as well as its rate of fall, I was able to show in a quantitative way that the effect of air resistance is to cause small compact objects to fall faster than large flat ones
Refers to a measured value as how much, how fast, how deep, how many or what concentration, (see qualitative)
expressible as a quantity or relating to or susceptible of measurement; "export wheat without quantitative limitations"; "quantitative analysis determines the amounts and proportions of the chemical constituents of a substance or mixture"
(of a bid) asking partner to determine the strength of his band by the total values (usually high-card values) held rather than by the presence or absence of any specific cards
A person who designs and implements mathematical models for the pricing of financial derivatives. Often shortened to quant. See also quantitative analysis
(Ekonomi) The term quantitative easing (QE) describes a monetary policy used by central banks to increase the supply of money by increasing the excess reserves of the banking system

Research that focuses on measuring and counting facts and the relationships among variables, and that seeks to describe observations through statistical analysis of data It includes experimental and non-experimental research and descriptive research (research that attempts to describe the characteristics of a sample or population)
Involves the collection of (statistically) large samples of quantitative data and usually some form of statistical analysis Quantitative research is often used to substantiate the findings from qualitative research
Research that measures (quantifies) responses to a structured questionnaire, conducted either through telephone, face-to-face structured interviews, on the Internet or through self completion surveys
research conducted for the purpose of obtaining empirical evaluations of attitudes, behavior or performance Designed to generate projectable numerical data about a topic
Research that describes phenomena in numbers and measures instead of words; the focus of the research is usually predetermined and deduced from prior research
The approach advocated by the Positivist School This approach measures social phenomena and obtains numerical values which can be analyzed statistically Surveys using structured questionnaires and IQ tests are both examples of quantitative research
Use of advanced econometric and mathematical valuation models to identify the firms with the best possible prospectives Antithesis of qualitative research
A research technique in which scientific, concrete, and projectable numerical data that can be statistically analyzed is gathered, often from large samples; also called hard data
Survey research using a sample of people drawn at random from a given population If the sample is drawn properly, the results of quantitative research can be generalized to the population
