DATA ANALYSIS

DATA ANALYSIS
• Indications will be grouped into 10-20
categories
• Based on the indications of the Sampung Halamang
Gamot
• Quantitative Analysis
– Informant Consensus Factor (ICF)
– Fidelity Level (FL)
• Qualitative Analysis
– comparison between the herbal plants
used by the folk herbalists and those
included in the Sampung Halamang Gamot
 DATA ANALYSIS
• Informant Consensus Factor (ICF)
– will be used to identify agreements of the informants
on the reported cures for the groups ailments

ICF = (nur – nt) / (nur – 1)

where nur = number of use citations in each category
nt = number of species used

 DATA ANALYSIS
• Fidelity Level (FL)
– percentage of informants claiming the use of a certain
plant for the same major purpose

FL(%) = (Np / N) x 100

where Np = number of informants that claim a use of a plant species
to treat a particular disease

N = number of informants that use the plants as a medicine to

treat any given disease
