Apports et limites de l'analyse des données

Abstract

[fre] L'analyse des données dans les sciences sociales a connu un très grand développement en France durant les années 1970. Ce développement tient à trois causes : les progrès dans le domaine des ordinateurs, les contraintes statistiques faibles et la facilité d'emploi. Mais, cette facilité même est source de danger. Comme toute méthode descriptive, l'analyse des données doit être envisagée par rapport à une démarche générale dont elle ne constitue qu'un premier pas, débouchant vers une formalisation plus rigoureuse. Des exemples concrets utilisant l'analyse factorielle des correspondances et des méthodes de classification automatique sont proposés. [eng] Exploratory data analysis applied to social sciences has become fashionable in France during the seventies. Three facts seem to have worked in that way : the advances in computing art, the relative indifference toward probability criteria for inference, and the flexibility of application. The latter may be somewhat risky because the success of the approach depends on the knowledge and ability of the investigator. As any descriptive statistical method, data analysis precedes the procedures of formal statistical inference. Actual economic examples based oh correspondence analysis and cluster analysis are used for illustrative purposes.
