Machine learning is a concept that has long been applied to many industries that need to use predictive data, and has been used for some time in the online advertising industry. The survey research industry is ideally suited to benefit from machine learning for many reasons. The most pressing of which is to lessen respondent burden. Well share the success weve had by applying machine-based learning, and explore other ways we can gather data to improve insight generation including permission-based digital tracking, all with an eye on improving insight and removing the reliance on respondents.
How healthy is your survey? Are all the questions in your survey working efficiently? Is your survey performing above or below benchmark standards? In this session Steve Wigmore and Alex Wheatley will discuss 10 diagnostic techniques which everybody in research can undertake to check the health of their surveys and give some tips on better ways to ask questions, resolve common data problems and improve the performance of their surveys.
Strategies on how to best balance expanding survey length with the need for concise, relevant and engaging surveys is explored in this paper. Innovative ways to shorten survey length without compromising the amount of business decisions that can be unearthed and accurately researched from online surveys are reviewed. The overall goal is to explore how adapting survey research improves rather than complicates the lives of both researchers and research participants. If we are not able to shorten our surveys, then survey modularisation is certainly a proven approach that can be adopted to deliver a complete, representative data set. It will also achieve accuracy and data consistency both confidently and efficiently at scale.
This webinar will detail the sources and the scope of previous research and then summarise how to build the perfect survey from the feet up. You will learn best practice elements of taking an objective-led approach to questionnaires, all within in a framework to ensure data quality. Secondly, we'll look at how and the best way to incentivise respondents for digital surveys and then we'll move to survey design with a particular focus on mobile optimisation.
This paper outlines our quest to design the perfect icon for use in surveys and understand more about the effective role of visuals in surveys.
After almost two decades of continued growth, the debate still continues on which key factors impact online sample quality. Here are some key steps that researchers and their clients can take to improve sampling quality when developing sampling processes ranging from online panels to routers to exchanges.
