In any research work, the basic steps are more or less the same. In their blog ScienceBuddies has correctly summarized the basic steps of research, as the following :
1. Ask a Question
2. Do Background Research
3. Construct a Hypothesis
4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
6. Communicate Your Results
However, the techniques you will employ at each step may differ. The efficiency of the techniques you use to achieve your desired goal will determine the optimality and rightness of your research output. If you carefully examine the six steps outlined above, you will quickly realize that the most important step is the fifth, which allows you to draw a conclusion with all of the necessary support and documentation retrieved from the various techniques available to you. The quality of your research output will be determined by the techniques you employ in this step.
This blog post tries to collect the most used techniques of research that you can use to analyze your results. The techniques are as given below :
1)Nonlinear time series models(NLTM),
2)State-space models(SSM)
3)Bayesian methods(BM)
4)Extreme value distributions(EVD)
5)Hierarchical models(HM)
6)Nonlinear regression(NLR), and
7)MCMC or Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method.
Click on the techniques to learn more about them and how they are used to identify and explain the most significant findings in any research study (I tried to collect a link that would give you a basic understanding of the technique). If you want to learn the techniques in greater depth, it is best to consult books/tutorials on the subject.)
The graph below shows how many publications—measured in lakhs—used the techniques and had their work accepted by reputable journals published by Elsevier in 2022.
The graph unambiguously illustrates the popularity of the methods used to publish papers in Elsevier journals 3,01,002 times in just one year. State Space Models, or SSM, were found to be the technique most frequently used among the seven techniques (equal to 1,28,556).
As a result, you can organize your research well in advance and may utilize SSM to evaluate the results of your work in preparation for publication in reputable journals.
That's all for today,
See you in the next post.
You may comment on the method you use to analyze your research outputs.
