Depending on the study, hand calculation may be best. While computers can quickly process large amounts of data, they may not always be necessary or practical. For small datasets or when conducting exploratory analyses, hand calculation may be sufficient and even preferred in some cases. However, for complex analyses or large datasets, a computer is likely necessary for efficient and accurate processing.
