Data Definitions
The Data Definitions covers a broad range of definitions to do with analysis and processing of data.
Methodologies are higher level processes that often work on datasets and derived variables to produce data for reporting.
Data Definitions are more concerned with the processing of raw collected data to store as one or more derived variables.
Derived Variables are data made available for further processing within datasets.
In this version of the data dictionary the definitions for the derived variables are included within the more general data definitions.
It should be noted that the definitions contain an explanation of the general process in deriving a variable from collected data but doesn't detail the handling of exceptions or errors in that data. This will be covered in pseudo or SPSS code added later.
Sample Code
The Sample Code contained here may be either pseudo code or SPSS. It is usually approached via the relevant Data Definitions from the folder above.
