Statistics as a tool, allows a broader
collection of data obtained from groups of
larger samples, it can be a limitation in
other situations.

researchers allow them to

The data collection methods and the way
they are analyzed using statistics saves time
and reduces waste of resources.
The use of numbers makes the
researches see the subject of study
represented in an impartial and precise
way to analyze it objectively.
Eliminate bias
The results achieved are

they are verifiable.

This summary map of the epistemological foundations of quantitative research concludes the beliefs about knowledge and how knowledge is constructed.  The researchers' methodologies and methods are influenced by one of the philosophical presumptions (Crotty, 1998; Lather, 2006). All facets of the research process are influenced by epistemology, including ingrained presumptions about what is known and the formulation of theories, research questions, and study designs (Pallas, 2001; Collins, 1990). This concept map of the epistemological underpinnings of quantitative research shows how epistemologies affect how research is received and understood within a research community (Pallas, 2001).
