Aabel 3 Introduction

Aabel is a modern, powerful, and feature-rich Mac OS X Universal package. It employs a pipeline architecture that allows real-time, two-way interaction between graphic viewers and their source worksheets, and between plotted data displayed on the same or on different viewers.

Diverse statistical & exploratory data analysis methods Easy to use data-reduction techniques for complex multivariate data A unique pipeline design that allows real-time two-way interaction with data and makes multivariate & exploratory data analysis a breeze Interactive data visualization, a rich variety of graph types, and over 240 styles of data representation Thematic mapping and related importers & map projection utilities Native worksheets providing numerous data management tools, a formula editor, and other utilities Multidimensional data filtering comparable to a database search Diverse data import and graphic file export support, a data manipulator, flexible customizing tools, Unicode support, publication quality graphics, and more

The v3 includes numerous new statistical analysis methods, extended exploratory tools, new multivariate techniques, diverse new graph types, extended data layout options for inferential tests, major overhaul for graph customizing UI, and much more.

Some Aabel 3 features:

• Diverse statistical & exploratory data analysis methods.
  
  
• Easy to use data-reduction techniques for complex multivariate data.
  
  
• A unique pipeline design that allows real-time two-way interaction with data and makes multivariate & exploratory data analysis a breeze.
  
  
• Interactive data visualization, a rich variety of graph types, and over 240 styles of data representation.
  
  
• Thematic mapping and related importers & map projection utilities.
  
  
• Native worksheets providing numerous data management tools, a formula editor, and other utilities.
  
  
• Multidimensional data filtering comparable to a database search.
  
  
• Diverse data import and graphic file export support, a data manipulator, flexible customizing tools, Unicode support, publication quality graphics, and more.
  
  
• You can perform graphing or statistical analysis from multiple Aabel worksheets, without a need to merge the data into a single worksheet.
  
  
• You can have real-time interaction with data, e.g., change variables, change chart types, etc., all from within a single interface, and the results will be dynamically updated.
  
  
• Saved graphic viewer files are not static graphic files. They are hot-linked to the data sources used to create the chart(s). If you make changes to source worksheets, the modifications will be dynamically updated on all charts using the data.
  
  
• The pipeline architecture of Aabel has enabled the design of powerful and dynamic data exploration tools such as X-zooming, interactive data filtering, etc.
  
  
• Aabel provides easy to use tools for data filtering, comparable to a database search.
  
  
• You can use multiple criteria that can span multiple variables for generating subsets of data.
  
  
• Data filtering can be performed in worksheets, database metaphors, graphic viewer documents, and data manipulator.
  
  
• The graphic viewer supports data filtering for generating subsets of data based on data patterns.
  
  
• The data filtering results can be used interactively, or saved in auto-generated Aabel worksheets.
  
  
• Data brushing can be used to highlight data interrelationships (see the image below). However, Aabel takes data exploration beyond data brushing.
  
  
• A powerful tool called X-zoom (X for exclude) allows walking through hierarchies of numeric or categorical data rapidly, to discover patterns and information that are otherwise masked.
  
  
• Data filtering: if you have mapped data patterns that you want to explore further, you can use the viewer filtering tools to extract subsets of data using multidimensional filter criteria.)
