Performing complex analyses by means of an easy-to-use graphical user interfaceTom WilderjansKU Leuven | |
| Abstract: | Applied researchers often want to study the complex processes underlying a particular data set. To this end, in many cases they want to use recently developed analysis techniques that are complex and that cannot handled by standard software packages such as SAS and SPSS. Rather, in many cases such analyses can only be performed by means of very technical and less user-friendly software. As a consequence, to make the analyses in question workable for applied researchers, the availability of user-friendly aids like, for example, a graphical user interface (GUI) is of key importance. GUI's allow researchers to perform analyses by means of an easy to use point-and-click system. In this presentation the principles of creating a GUI will be outlined. I will further illustrate these by means of GUI's for two recently developed analysis techniques: (1) the OMACLUS program to fit the one-mode additive clustering model, and (2) the LMPCA program to fit the linked-mode PARAFAC-PCA model. |
