Double-entry and frequency analysis are both necessary to detect and correct data entry errors. Double-entry involves entering the data twice independently and comparing the two sets of data for discrepancies. Frequency analysis involves checking the frequency distribution of the data for outliers or unexpected values. Together, these methods can help identify and correct errors such as mistyping a response.
