Detailed explanation-1: -Definition of Ex Post Facto. Kerlinger (1964) defined ex Rost facto research as: that research in which the independent variable or variables have already occurred and in which the researcher starts with the observation of a dependent variable or variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two other forms of quantitative research, which are not experimental due to lack of manipulation, are ex post facto (sometimes called causal-comparative) and correlational. Often both of these types are grouped into what researchers call non-experimental research or simply correlational research.
