Trendalyzer

[jyt...@gmail.com]

can anyone tell me when google release the free software Trendalyzer
for data visualization.

I want to use it on my own work.

I have heard that the software Crystal Xcelsius as a benchmark. Is it
as the same as Trendalyzer. or any difference between each.

This sounded interesting (see below), but the link is not working:
http://www.npchardtruthsreport.org/data_warehouse.php
And to be frank. I can't really tell if it is the real deal or not.

1. Trendalyzer Package (visualization software and
documentation):
This directory contains an installable version of Trendalyzer,
plus Quick Start Guide, which allow the exploration of key information
extracted from the Data Warehouse.

2. Data Archives:
All of the raw data used in the Warehouse has been included.
Specifically:

A. The Excel templates completed as part of the "Wide Net" data
collection effort
B.1 Two comma-separated files which contain all the "Wide Net"
data in "raw" format, ready for use in data analysis (one file
contains numerical data, one file contains qualitative data)
B.2 The raw files which correspond to the "Aggregated
Proprietary" data (one file contains numerical data in comma-separated
format, one file contains qualitative data in excel format)

Note that files in items B.1 and B.2 contain a header, which
identifies each field of data. The format of the four files is not
identical.

3. Excel Processor (data processing software):
For completeness, a copy of the software used to process the
Excel templates completed as part of the "Wide Net" data collection
effort. This software was used to convert the Excel templates (2.A.
above) into raw numerical format (comma-separated files in 2.B.1
above) such that they could be uploaded to the NPC Data Warehouse.

I was able to reach the link by backing up one level in the URL. I
then downloaded the NPC Global Oil & Gas Study PDF on Quick Start
Guide. It indicates the software is an old 2003 beta version.
However it also appears that the "data" NPC is using is data used in a
2007 study. Apparently the data is in a file named "NPCStudyData.tlz"
and is in the default installation directory (I haven't downloaded or
installed at this time).

One would think, with Google now being the owner, that access to
current beta software would be available, but I still haven't
discovered that to be so.
