X-Message-Number: 27833 References: <> From: Kennita Watson <> Subject: Re: Squeezing even more information from my surveys Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 09:41:59 -0700 Is there a data sheet or Web page (not a book, please) that I can see about this, or some freeware or low-cost shareware that I can run on my Mac? Wait -- I may have answered my own question. I typed "exploratory data analysis" tools into Google and got 230,000 hits, of which the first was the Wikipedia entry. I may check out MANET (free Mac-only interactive EDA software) and the links from the Wikipedia page before I write up my next survey. I love the Web! I love the 21st Century! I love life!
