Abstract

The paper presents a method for evaluation of questionnaires supported by formal concept analysis. Formal concept analysis provides an expert with a structured view on the data contained in the questionnaires. The method results from experiments with IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire). The structured view on the data provided by the method suggests various hypotheses which can later be tested. In addition, the structured view on data itself proved to be sufficiently informative to the expert. In addition to the method, the paper presents experiments with evaluation of IPAQ.
