GEPHI: Creating Gexf network files with VantagePoint v10.0
This document explains how to use a VP script to create network files to do network analysis and visualize data with Gephi software. The Gephi software installer is available at https://gephi.org. This documentation applies to VP 10.0 and Gephi 0.9.1 or newer. Continue reading GEPHI: Creating Gexf network files with VantagePoint v10.0
Text Clumping for Technical Intelligence
This development responds to a challenge. Text mining software can conveniently generate very large sets of terms or phrases. Our examples draw from use of VantagePoint (or equivalently, Thomson Data Analyzer – TDA) software [1] to analyze abstract record sets. Continue reading Text Clumping for Technical Intelligence
Understanding Structured Data and Regular Expression
The first place to start before deciding if an import filter can be built for a non-standard source of data is understanding structured data and regular expression. Click Login to view. for an introductory PowerPoint. Additional resources can be found in the VantagePoint “Help” files:
