How-To: Data Entry Using In-line Percentage

When collecting data, it is often easiest to record the data as the correct number of trials out of the total number of trials. In these situations, clinicians will often use a percentage correct calculation to plot and measure progress.

Therapy-Science makes it easy for you to use those collected ratios directly in the data markup text and does the conversion to percentage for you. This feature is called in-line percentage and converts the entered fraction (e.g., 4/5) into a percentage score that is rounded to the nearest two decimal places for plotting on the iGraph™. You can mix and match in-line percentages with calculated percentages as shown in the example below.

They work like this:

The resulting graph looks like this:
