SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING ONLINE SURVEY QUESTIONS
An electronic device-controlled method can include receiving responses to a question of an online survey, determining an average daily response for the question, and determining an upper confidence level and a lower confidence level for the question. A subsequent determination can be made as to whether the question is stable based on the average daily response and upper and lower confidence levels over a specified period of time.
1 . An electronic device-controlled method, comprising:
an electronic device receiving a plurality of responses to a first question of an online survey;
the electronic device determining a plurality of average daily responses for the first question of the online survey based on the plurality of received responses;
the electronic device determining an upper confidence level based on the plurality of received responses;
the electronic device determining a lower confidence level based on the plurality of received responses; and
the electronic device determining whether the first question of the online survey is stable based on the plurality of average daily responses in relation to the upper and lower confidence levels over a specified period of time.
2 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a mobile electronic device.
3 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 2 , wherein the mobile electronic device is a smartphone or tablet computing device.
4 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 1 , further comprising the electronic device providing an indication as to whether the first question is stable based on the determination as to whether the first question of the online survey is stable.
5 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 1 , further comprising the electronic device receiving additional responses to the first question of the online survey.
6 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 5 , further comprising the electronic device determining at least one additional average daily response for the first question of the online survey based on the additional received responses.
7 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 5 , further comprising the electronic device adjusting the upper confidence level based on the additional received responses.
8 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 5 , further comprising the electronic device adjusting the lower confidence level based on the additional received responses.
9 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 5 , further comprising the electronic device determining whether the first question of the online survey is stable based on the at least one additional average daily response in relation to the upper and lower confidence levels.
10 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 1 , further comprising the electronic device visually presenting to a user the plurality of average daily responses and the upper and lower confidence levels over the specified period of time.
11 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 5 , further comprising an electronic display visually presenting to a user the plurality of average daily responses, the at least one additional average daily response, and the upper and lower confidence levels.
12 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 11 , wherein the electronic device includes the electronic display.
13 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 1 , wherein the specified period of time is 60 days.
14 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 1 , wherein the upper confidence level is a 95% confidence level.
15 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 1 , wherein the lower confidence level is a 95% confidence level.
16 . The electronic device-controlled method of claim 1 , further comprising a user creating the online survey, the online survey including a set of questions from a question repository, each question having a superficial modifier portion, a semantic modifier portion, an open-ended portion, or a combination thereof.
