He discusses key topics such as: how to confirm an information theory model; its use in exploratory research; and how it compares with other approaches such as network analysis, path analysis, chi square and analysis of variance. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInformation Theory simplifies and clarifies a complex but powerful statistical method for analysing multivariate qualitative data.
