a) Overview
A research method is a way of doing research, such as focus groups, surveys, interviews, etc. A research method is a general approach a researcher takes in carrying out a research project.
Statistics is a branch of science that deals with the collection, organisation, analysis of data and drawing of inferences from the samples to the whole population. This requires a proper design of the study, an appropriate selection of the study sample and choice of a suitable statistical test. Adequate knowledge of statistics is necessary for the proper designing of an epidemiological study or a clinical trial. Improper statistical methods may result in erroneous conclusions which may lead to unethical practice.
Statistical methods involved in carrying out a study include planning, designing, collecting data, analysing, drawing meaningful interpretations and reporting the research findings. The statistical analysis gives meaning to the meaningless numbers, thereby breathing life into lifeless data. The results and inferences are precise only if proper statistical tests are used.
Statistical packages, or statistical software, are specialized computer programs for analysis in statistics. Some examples are R, SAS, and SPSS.

a) Overview
A computer-based records management system comprises an information filter for assuring that record data units offered to the system for storage are complete and not redundant. These record data units may be electronic in nature, scanned from paper, digitally formed from audio, video or otherwise formed as digital data information media, an objective of the disclosed system being to eliminate paper or microform record keeping. If record data units comprising documents are incomplete or redundant, the data units may be queued for special handling, returned or otherwise disposed of. Record data units accepted for system entry are acknowledged and preferably tagged to enable tracking and forwarded for unit verification and certification. Verification and certification include examination of units for compliance with preset criteria. Once a unit is found to meet the criteria, the unit is stored in permanent storage along with a disposal schedule determined for that unit. Only users meeting predetermined security levels may alter or dispose of a stored unit prior to scheduled disposal. Moreover, reasons for such alteration or destruction are required from the cleared user, and an associated data field must be completed. Consequently, the present system provides for record data unit tracking and audit trails in the event of any requirement for regulatory or legal compliance with discovery or other record unit requests. The present invention also permits the reconstruction of the record units of an enterprise in the event of a catastrophic event.
