- The hypothesis formulated
- Underlying assumptions of the test/technique
There may be few other factors as well but the above five are extremely important. The video explains the five factors along with simple examples using pictorial presentation.
More videos will be posted enhancing the knowledge of the research concepts and simplifying the intricacies in data analysis.
