Ethnographic Free-List Data: Management and Analysis with Examples in R

Ethnographic Free-List Data Management and Analysis With Examples in R details a method that involves research participants listing what they know or think about the researcher's topic of interest. While researchers typically report these free-list analyses in isolation, this book incorporates them with other analytical methods and demonstrates how ethnographic free-lists can be useful to a broad social science audience. The first half of the book covers descriptive methods, and the second half incorporates insights from the early chapters into a predictive statistical framework. Author Benjamin Grant Purzycki explains how to collect, clean, and manage free-list data and how to use R to calculate and visualize the data.
