ilociowymi

Ilociowymi is not a standard Polish term. It is most likely a misspelling or variant of the instrumental plural ilościowymi, which comes from the adjective ilościowy. The root ilość means quantity, amount. The adjective ilościowy refers to aspects related to quantity or numerical data.

In Polish, the word ilościowy is used to distinguish quantitative from qualitative. Quantitative (ilościowy) approaches emphasize numerical data, measurements and counts, whereas qualitative (jakościowy) approaches focus on qualities, characteristics and categorical descriptions. The plural instrumental form ilościowymi appears in sentences such as “metody ilościowe” (quantitative methods) or “dane ilościowe są analizowane.”

In research and applied contexts, ilościowy describes data, analyses and designs that rely on numbers. Common concepts include dane ilościowe (numerical data), metody ilościowe (quantitative methods), and analizy ilościowe (quantitative analyses). Typical techniques involve descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode; variability), as well as inferential statistics (regression, hypothesis testing, chi-squared tests). Data sources include surveys, experiments, and secondary data sets, with emphasis on measurement reliability and statistical validity.

Note that the correct Polish spelling uses the diacritical characters in ilościowy and related forms (for example, ilościowa, ilościowe, ilościowymi). The form ilociowymi is generally considered erroneous in standard Polish. See also: analiza ilościowa, statystyka, badania ilościowe.
