Data Analysis And Dummy Tables And Graphs

DATA ANALYSIS

DATA ANALYSIS • Indications will be grouped into 10-20 categories • Based on the indications of the Sampung Halamang Gamot

• Quantitative Analysis – Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) – Fidelity Level (FL)

• Qualitative Analysis – comparison between the herbal plants used by the folk herbalists and those included in the Sampung Halamang Gamot

DATA ANALYSIS • Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) – will be used to identify agreements of the informants on the reported cures for the groups ailments

ICF = (nur – nt) / (nur – 1) where nur = number of use citations in each category nt = number of species used Teklehaymanot, T. et. al.

DATA ANALYSIS • Fidelity Level (FL) – percentage of informants claiming the use of a certain plant for the same major purpose

FL(%) = (Np / N) x 100 where Np = number of informants that claim a use of a plant species to treat a particular disease N = number of informants that use the plants as a medicine to treat any given disease
