Abstract

The task of succinctly and insightfully discussing themes in the differences between several (three or more) groups in naturalistic, ethnographic research faces a number of constraints. The number of all possible pairs is a quadratic function of the number of groups, and prior order and stand-out subsets may not exist to narrow that number down. We define and compare methods for guiding this task during Epistemic Network Analysis.
