This repository contains code used to conduct a saturation analysis for a qualitative interview study. The analysis includes:

• A sequential saturation curve
• A comparison of code emergence in actual vs. randomized interview order
• A bootstrap analysis to assess impact of interview order on ssaturation points

Overview

The goal of this analysis was to assess saturation in the data comprising of 65 codes across 27 interview transcripts
