Descriptive

Research involving stats, data, or measurable characteristics about a population/object being studied are incredibly helpful and insightful in any form of research project. To have numerical representatives of information allows one to derive an analysis from it with support and proof of what the author is inferring. Statistics and data often speak for themselves when describing anything, and numbers often stand alone without explanation because they are mathematically and visually representative and informative. For students, population software for research purposes such as Nielsen, Simmons, SRDS, etc. are wildly helpful in shaping research projects and conclusions by identifying and dividing a population into many different statistical and measurable categories.
