Visual Analysis Within Conditions There are a number of considerations when determining the quantity of data during each condition. These are as follows: As a general rule, the more measurement of the dependent variable per unit of time and the longer the period of time in which the measurement occurred, the more confidence one can have in the data path's estimation of the true course of behavior change. The number of data points needed to provide a believable record during a given condition also depends upon how many times the same condition has been repeated during the study. Briefer phases are required experiments investigating relations between previously studied and will establish variables if the results are also similar to those of previous studies. More data is needed to demonstrate new findings. What other exceptions are there to the rule of the more data the better?: ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________
