Meaning of phrases.

[Piak]

What are the meaning or could you explain the meaning in simple English of
1. A multi-tiered approach will be adopted.
2. A longitudinal design, cross-validation of the findings.
Please!

Thank you and best regards,
Piak

If you can supply some context I can make a better guess at the meanings of those expressions.

"multi-tiered approach"

It sounds very technical. If anyone is curious enough, check out the Google search.

I'm not that curious about it myself.

:shock: 8)

1. A multi-tiered approach will be adopted.
I'd say that this means the approach will have different levels.
2. A longitudinal design, cross-validation of the findings.

This one doesn't make much sense to me, although it might make sense in technical jargon. I don't get the 'longitudinal design' part. can you give us a bit more context?

Re: multi-tiered

I think it means having many different approaches to the same thing.

Yes, they are technical jargon. That ‘s all, I can remember for now, I am sorry not to be able to provide more contexts of these phrases at the moment, but I will try to get some for you to help me. How about the “cross-validation of the findings”, does it make any sense to you. Please simplify it for me, if possible. Thank you again.

How about the “cross-validation of the findings”

It might mean using more than one test to determine the validity of a finding.

[Tdol]

Cross-validation is done by comparison,isn't it?

 

[Piak]

It might be so. It, however, helps me a lot to get better meaniing of this phrase.
Thank you again RonBee and Tdol.

Best regards,
Piak

Hi Piak,

1) Many avenues of research will be employed to reach a successful outcome.

2) cross validation.....many expert opinions will be sought to determine how the the final outcome.....finally outcame.

Hope this helps.

Longitudinal design.

A research design where subjects are assessed at several different times in their lives. Usually, you use this design when you are interested in how subjects change over time. These studies are often expensive, difficult to conduct, and have lots of trouble without drop outs. They also will require more complex statistical analyses. But they provide a wealth of information that could not be obtained readily with other types of research designs. Here are two examples of longitudinal designs.

Pardon me, but don't you mean they have lots of trouble with dropouts?

Hi, cutecanute.
Thanks for your research, I stand corrected and have edited the misleading statement in my earlier post.


Have fun.

Note:

The sentence should be: "These studies are often expensive, difficult to conduct, and have lots of trouble with drop outs."

The mistake was in the original and does not belong to CUTECANUTE.

The sentence means that for whatever reason (moving out of the area, losing interest) some people drop out of the program.
