The Electric Kool-Aid Askia Test

Abstract: Survey scripting and coding have lots in common and we should bring testing techniques into Survey Design. For this we have improved Random Data Generation and created a new Tools module called “Script Verification”.

But Askia software is not designed for marketing directors. It has been…

From time to time clients will raise a query regarding sig testing (Column significativity on closed) for a particular cell changing when the total base of their table grows, even though the count and % for…

Choosing Prague as our new office location is no coincidence, as we had good reasons to opt for this particular city: First…
