Research Tools for Data

Analytics and Visualization


Group 6
Microsoft Excel
• MS Excel is still one of the most popular and
powerful tools for data analytics. This research
tool lets you build models of your processes and
phenomena using comprehensive spreadsheets
and VBA. It also comprises some powerful
in-build capabilities for data analysis, including
regression analysis, statistical analysis or even
hypothesis testing.

• MS Excel is also a powerful engine for data


visualization that may support your
understanding of the data you analyze. Data analysis generated in MS Excel

Similarly to MS Word, it can be operated in


the cloud, via OneDrive or Sharepoint. This
is an excellent feature for collaboration
with your research team!
Microsoft Excel
SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences)
• SPSS is an advanced research tool with a
remarkable and powerful, yet robust platform for
statistical analysis of data.
• Although you can perform a statistical analysis and
manipulate data in MS Excel, the SPSS was designed
with statistics in mind and, thus, it offers better speed
and performance.
• SPSS includes in-built tools for data manipulation and
enables you to perform more sophisticated analytics,
such as factor analysis, hypothesis testing, a wide
range of regression analyses (linear, non-linear,
logistic), cluster analysis and many more.

6 Different Windows of SPSS


• The Chart Editor - You can modify and save high-resolution charts
and plts by invoking the Chart Editor
• Text Output Editor - Text output not displayed in pivot tables can
be modified with the text output editor. You can edit output and
change font characteristics (type, style, color and size)
• The Syntax Editor - You can paste your dialog box selections into
a Syntax Editor window, where your selections appear in the form
of command syntax.

6 Different Windows of SPSS


• The Data Editor - The Data Editor is a spreadsheet in which you define your variables
and enter data. Each row corresponds to a case while each column represents
variables.
• The Output Navigator - The Output Navigator windows displays the statistical
results, tables and charts from the analysis you performed. An output Navigator
window opens automatically when you run a procedure that generates output.
• The Pivot Table Editor - Output displayed in pivot tables can be modified in many
ways with the Pivot Table Editor. You can edit text, swap data in rows and column.

Matlab
• Matlab is a powerful numerical computing
environment and programming language that
enables you to build your own models, analyze data
and design processes using matrix and array
mathematics.

• It differs from MS Excel and SPSS, you process your


data in the form of matrices or vectors. It includes an
extensive library of built-in functions and toolboxes
not only for statistical analysis but also for building
artificial neural networks, implementation of
stochastic analysis or spatial statistics.

• Being a programming language, Matlab enables you to


develop your own codes. This means that even if a
particular type of analysis does not exist, you can build it
yourself.
Matlab
• A great feature of Matlab is
its powerful data
visualization toolbox that let
you prepare figures for your
research articles or research
reports.

Sample data analysis generated in Matlab


The Matlab System
• The MATLAB language.
• The MATLAB working environment

• Handle Graphics

• THE MATLAB mathematical function library.

• The MATLAB Application Program Interface (API).


MS Visio

• MS Visio is a flowchart maker and diagramming


software, which is an essential research tool to
represent your work. It lets you prepare
professional diagrams and charts to represent
your ideas. You may use it to present
engineering designs, flowcharts, Gantt charts,
algorithm layouts and many more.
• It is simple to use and includes multiple
templates that can make your work more
efficient. It integrates with MS Office 365 and
lets you work in the cloud with your research
team.
• It tend to use it to create process flow diagrams,
brainstorming, organizational charts and many Sample illustration/diagram generated in MS
Visio
others. Below you can find an example of the
process flow diagram from one of the research
papers that was published as a part of the recent
research project I supervised!
