Inferential statistics

This method is used to infer from the data. It can be used to understand the problem and its potential Solutions.

Regression analysis

This method is used to identify the relationships between the variables. It can be used to understand the problem and its potential Solutions.

Once the data has been collected and analyzed, the next step is to conduct a situation analysis. A situation analysis is conducted to identify the root causes of the problem. It is important to note that a problem can have multiple causes. Some common methods for conducting a situation analysis include:
