Book excerpt: The fire service exists today in an environment constantly inundated with data, but data are seen of little use in the everyday, real world in which first responders live and work. This is no accident. By themselves, pieces of data are of little use to anyone. Information, on the other hand, is very useful indeed. What's the difference? At sporting events, people in stadiums hold up individual, multi-colored squares of cardboard to form a giant image or text, which could be recognized only from a distance. This is a good analogy for data and information. The individual squares of cardboard are like data. They are very numerous and they all look similar taken by themselves. The big image formed from the organization of thousands of those cards is like information. It is what can be built from many pieces of data. Information then is an organization of data that makes a point about something. The fire service of today is changing. More and more, it is not fighting fires as much as it is doing EMS, HAZMAT, inspections, investigations, prevention, and other nontraditional but important tasks which are vital to the community. Balancing limited resources and justifying daily operations and finances in the face of tough economic times is a scenario that is familiar to every department. Turning data into information is neither simple nor easy. It requires some knowledge of the tools and techniques used for this purpose. Historically, the fire service has had few of these tools at its disposal and none of them has been designed with the fire service in mind. This book changes that. It was designed solely for the use of the fire service. The examples were developed from the most recent fire data collected from departments all over the Nation. This book also was designed to be modular in form. Many departments' information needs can be met by using only the first few chapters. Others with a more statistical leaning may want to go further. The point is, it's up to the reader to decide. This handbook is just another tool, like a pumper or a ladder, to help do the job. In this revised edition, the use of statistical symbols and formulas has been eliminated for ease of use and understanding. The problems at the end of each chapter also have been left out. The philosophy behind this is not to discourage anyone seeking immediate results, and to encourage those with a desire for more indepth knowledge of statistical analysis tools.

This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook's primary objective is to describe statistical techniques for analyzing data typically collected in fire departments. Motivation for the handbook comes from the belief that fire departments collect an immense amount of data, but do very little with it. A compelling reason for collecting data is a legal requirement for documenting incidents; however, incident reports provide a more beneficial service to fire departments by providing insight into the nature of fires and injuries.

Book excerpt: Electronic Inspection Copy available for instructors here 'This book provides an excellent reference guide to basic theoretical arguments, practical quantitative techniques and the methodologies that the majority of social science researchers are likely to require for postgraduate study and beyond' - Environment and Planning 'The book provides researchers with guidance in, and examples of, both quantitative and qualitative modes of analysis, written by leading practitioners in the field. The editors give a persuasive account of the commonalities of purpose that exist across both modes, as well as demonstrating a keen awareness of the different things that each offers the practising researcher' - Clive Seale, Brunel University 'With the appearance of this handbook, data analysts no longer have to consult dozens of disparate publications to carry out their work. The essential tools for an intelligent telling of the data story are offered here, in thirty chapters written by recognized experts. ' - Michael Lewis-Beck, F Wendell Miller Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of Iowa 'This is an excellent guide to current issues in the analysis of social science data. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for authoritative introductions to the state of the art. Each chapter offers a comprehensive review and an extensive bibliography and will be invaluable to researchers wanting to update themselves about modern developments' - Professor Nigel Gilbert, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Professor of Sociology, University of Surrey This is a book that will rapidly be recognized as the bible for social researchers. It provides a first-class, reliable guide to the basic issues in data analysis, such as the construction of variables, the characterization of distributions and the notions of inference. Scholars and students can turn to it for teaching and applied needs with confidence. The book also seeks to enhance debate in the field by tackling more advanced topics such as models of change, causality, panel models and network analysis. Specialists will find much food for thought in these chapters. A distinctive feature of the book is the breadth of coverage. No other book provides a better one-stop survey of the field of data analysis. In 30 specially commissioned chapters the editors aim to encourage readers to develop an appreciation of the range of analytic options available, so they can choose a research problem and then develop a suitable approach to data analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wide range of approaches to data analysis in qualitative research can seem daunting even for experienced researchers. This handbook is the first to provide a state-of-the art overview of the whole field of QDA; from general analytic strategies used in qualitative research, to approaches specific to particular types of qualitative data, including talk, text, sounds, images and virtual data. The handbook includes chapters on traditional analytic strategies such as grounded theory, content analysis, hermeneutics, phenomenology and narrative analysis, as well as coverage of newer trends like mixed methods, reanalysis and meta-analysis. Practical aspects such as sampling, transcription, working collaboratively, writing and implementation are given close attention, as are theory and theorization, reflexivity, and ethics. Written by a team of experts in qualitative research from around the world, this handbook is an essential compendium for all qualitative researchers and students across the social sciences.
