PRODUCT DETAILS
LexisNexis Statistical DataSets is a Web-based research solutions tool that provides fast and easy access to 7.0 billion data points from licensed and public domain datasets within an easy-to-use interface. With this dynamic new product, you can scan the contents of over 550 datasets, select subjects and variables of interest, and view your data in side-by-side tables and charts.
DataSets addresses an emerging emphasis on quantitative literacy, fostering critical skills in the use, manipulation, and interpretation of numeric data. Results are customizable and instantaneous, with indicators arranged in folders by topic and source. Users can tap "live" statistics that are much more current than what is published, plus local data, time series typically extending back an average span of 34 years, and necessary bibliographic/citation information.
URLs are durable, and in addition to the output options (EXCEL, delimited text, SAS, PDF, copy to clipboard) available now, SPSS is coming soon.
At http://wiki.lexisnexis.com/academic/index.php?title=Statistical_DataSets are links to new content and video overviews of DataSets, the interactive nature of the product and mortgage lending details that are especially timely.
And http://www.statistical-datasets.com/ln/availabledata.jsp offers an up-to-date list of content.
