on data mining

UGH! I'm working on the annual survey data with poor tools. In some cases, the Vovici software is all I need. For anything more I have to suffer pivot tables in Excel. I guess I really need someone to give me a copy of SPSS. Meanwhile, I've never used any data mining tools that truly present information clearly.

Check out the data visualization of the fund-raising for our upcoming presidential elections. And if you haven't played with Hans Rosling's census data visualization, you really should; he conveys really rich data in a simple format with Gapminder.

Wouldn't it be great to have a dashboard for business information?

Steve,

Check out Tableau (http://www.tableausoftware.com) for easy visualization, we use it all the time here at uptime software.

Thanks for pointer to the Gapminder and election funding stats sites. Looking for good ideas for how to display stuff on a map that varies over time for our AF customer. I like the UI slider controls.

Spotting patterns in survey data

Take a look at Table Lens http://www.inxight.com/products/sdks/tl/
For me, the easiest way to spot patterns in large survey data.

how does the NY Times do that?

Does anyone know what technology NY Times is using to present the election data? Or, do you think it's something they developed themselves?

Thanks,

David
