Data Analysis Site

By juilywagle on 31 Jan 2014 at 03:01 UTC

Hi all,

I am very keen on preparing a website that asks users to input a sizable amount of data (preferably in a tabular format with an add rows option) and thereafter provides them with analysis based on the input variables. I am very new to Drupal and was wondering which modules would help me do the needful.

Thanks

You can store a huge range of data and data types in Drupal core, and provide an 'Add row' button for each field. You can manage the appearance and layout of the edit forms (if you dislike what you get out of the box) in the theme. I am puzzled why you are asking about extra modules? The question is only useful when you have understood what Drupal core can do, and have identified limitations in it which you wish to overcome.

Views module assembles and outputs data. The term 'analysis' of data is also puzzling. It could mean anything: mapping, charts and graphs, statistical analysis, tabular presentation (Views module does that), or even scientific equations in astro-phyisics or climate modelling (for something specific like that you will probably need to write your own module).

Statistical analysis?

Hi John_B,

Are you aware of any projects which allow a Drupal site to perform statistical analysis? I'm aware of Views PSPP, but it does not appear to have progressed past D6.

Thanks!

I am not aware of such a thing. If asked to build it might be tempted to do the analysis in R and embed it in a Drupal site: see https://www.drupal.org/project/r However, I suppose that implies keeping the statistical data separate from the Drupal site.
