Improving Inferences from Multiple Methods.
Shotland, R. Lance; Mark, Melvin M.
New Directions for Program Evaluation, n35 p77-94 Fall 1987
Multiple evaluation methods (MEMs) can cause an inferential challenge, although there are strategies to strengthen inferences. Practical and theoretical issues involved in the use by social scientists of MEMs, three potential problems in drawing inferences from MEMs, and short- and long-term strategies for alleviating these problems are outlined.
