Non-anecdotal refers to information or evidence that is based on systematic research, data, or objective analysis rather than personal stories or individual experiences. It emphasizes empirical findings that can be verified and are generally applicable, contrasting with anecdotal evidence, which may be subjective and not representative of broader trends. Non-anecdotal evidence is often used in scientific studies, statistical analyses, and other rigorous assessments to draw conclusions.
The mean is called a non-resistant measure in statistics.
Examples of statistics include data analysis, such as calculating the average test score of a class or determining the percentage of voters in favor of a candidate. Non-examples would be anecdotal evidence, like a personal story about a single experience, or unquantified opinions, such as saying "most people believe" without any numerical backing. Statistics relies on systematic collection and analysis of data, whereas non-examples lack rigorous methodology.
It must be "mutually exclusive" since "non mutually" does not even mean anything!
No. The average of the deviations, or mean deviation, will always be zero. The standard deviation is the average squared deviation which is usually non-zero.
Portfolio and anecdotal records both serve as tools for assessment and documentation in educational settings. They collect evidence of a learner's skills, progress, and achievements over time, allowing for a comprehensive view of individual development. Both methods emphasize qualitative data, highlighting personal experiences and reflections, and can be used to inform teaching strategies and support personalized learning. Additionally, they encourage self-assessment and reflection, fostering a deeper understanding of the learning process.
please tell me what are the non test instruments like anecdotal records, inventory and others.
The expression anecdotal evidence refers to evidence from anecdotes. Because of the small sample, there is a larger chance that it may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases. Anecdotal evidence is considered dubious support of a claim; it is accepted only in lieu of more solid evidence. This is true regardless of the veracity of individual claims.
There doesn't seem to be an opposite to anecdotes. An anecdote is a "small" story that proves a point (i.e. anecdotal evidence). So the opposite is either a "large" story or evidence that is not anecdotal. Of course, an anecdotal story could be a rather long story and a "yarn" or a "tale" could be a rather short story. Certainly, a tale would be hard pressed to be a tale if it was a real short story. However, there are such things as long-winded anecdotes. Science seems to want to make the distinction clearer. Anecdotes are supposedly "non-scientific", which is rather odd to me. Does that mean that a tale, such as a non-fiction book, is not scientific. I mean it is possible to have a book that is nothing but anecdotes, but proves its point to a greater degree then using some scientific method, no? Not surprisingly, in the legal world "anecdotal" evidence can be very persuasive: more persuasive then scientific methods. Yes, I think when people are just chatting to prove some point and they use some anecdote do prove their point they might want to remind the person listening by saying "well, this is just anecdotal evidence". But usually the point has already been made. That's my non-anecdotal and non-scientific take anyways.

Anecdotal information is non-scientific evidence based on personal accounts, experiences, or observations. It is considered less reliable than empirical evidence as it may be biased, influenced by individual perceptions or interpretations, and lacks statistical support.
An anecdotal experience is one that you have had that was interesting or amusing. You may tell someone about an anecdotal experience to illustrate a point.
The noun form of the adjective anecdotal is anecdote, which means a short amusing or interesting personal story. It comes from the greek anecdote (Ἀνέκδοτα), meaning unpublished or "not given out".
The opposite of empirical evidence is anecdotal evidence. Empirical evidence is based on direct observation, experimentation, or measurement, while anecdotal evidence relies on personal stories or experiences. Anecdotal evidence is often considered less reliable than empirical evidence because it is subjective and can be influenced by biases or individual perspectives.

One type of qualitative research uses anecdotal evidence. Anecdotes are personal accounts/thoughts/feelings. This type of evidence cannot be generalized but can pave the way for further research.
