Finding Data: Analyzing and Visualizing Data

Geographic Information Systems are used to performing spatial analysis. If you want to ask questions such as: "Is there a relationship between neighborhoods with parks and better health outcomes," or "how many people were impacted by an earthquake?" GIS can help.

Qualitative data analysis is done by collecting, organizing, and interpreting non-numerical information, you should look into qualitative data.

If you want to discover underlying patterns and trends in information, statistical software can help perform that analysis.

Stata is a powerful statistical language and software.

Excel is a software that makes it easy to perform quick and repeatable calculations and render a wide variety of data visualizations.
