Siena (Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis)

Siena (Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis) is a free program for statistical analysis developed particularly to work with social network data, but also applicable to other forms of network data. It models network dynamics via Markov chain models; this approach is best applied to data where relations between actors and their behaviour can be treated as a state rather than as an event. Siena's statistical analysis processes can be time-consuming, as the system works via computer simulation of the network. It was in continuous development from 2001 through 2010, releasing versions up to 3.2. Development on Siena as a stand-alone program has concuded, and the project has shifted focus to RSiena, a version of Siena deployed in R.

RSiena

RSiena is a free, open source social network analysis package for R. It replaces Siena (Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis), which was a stand-alone program for Windows. Like its predecessor, RSiena is optimized for social network data, but is also applicable to other forms of network data, and relies on Markov chain models to generate network dynamics. T his approach is best applied to data where relations between actors and their behaviour can be treated as a state rather than as an event. Users not familiar with R can run RSiena via the provided graphical user interface.

Casual

Casual is a free, open source tool for generating a visualization of concepts from a key word search. It uses Wikipedia for conceptual information, and can also include Google Image search results where applicable. Users can click on a term to generate a new search from that term, while image results can be rearranged by clicking and dragging them to the desired location. Casual can produce visualizations ranging from 10 to 400 concepts in size, and can retrieve information for queries in a wide variety of languages. This tool is no longer supported; development appears to have ceased in 2009.

Analysis

Polldaddy

Create polls, surveys and quizzes and get ratings/feedback on content from users. "All languages supported." The free version has fewer options. At the paid levels there are design options such as customized branding and CSS control; collection options include 10k-50k (depending on purchased plan) of monthly participants and password restriction; and it is in the reporting methods that this program has the most depth: real-time results, charts, the ability to export responses and reports as Excel, PDF, Google Docs, CSV or XML, filtering options, text analysis, tagging, email notifications of new responses, and priority customer service. Also, you can add images, videos, and content from YouTube, Flickr, and Google Maps. This works with Wordpress. This was previously Surveydaddy and has been upgraded to Polldaddy.
