Mixed Methods
For those interested in mixed methods and both qualitative and quantitative analysis, the RQDA package within R (programming language) is a potential resource. Operating its own Graphical User Interface (GUI) in a separate window from R, RQDA can be used to perform character level coding. Through traditional R commands, some of this data can be analyzed using quantitative tools.

Famous quotes containing the words mixed and/or methods:
“Let us not deny it up and down. Providence has a wild, rough, incalculable road to its end, and it is of no use to try to whitewash its huge, mixed instrumentalities, or to dress up that terrific benefactor in a clean shirt and white neckcloth of a student of divinity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
