Abstract

The social sciences require multiple methods of analysis of information from complex data bases. Data bases have been constructed which contain hierarchical, spatial, and temporal associations among information elements. To provide effective processing capability for dealing with these types of data, an integrated approach has been taken to facilitate storage and retrieval, statistical analysis and graphical display. Two existing systems have been combined: RIQS, Remote Information Query System and SPSS, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. A sample data base, taken from a study of social stratification and mobility in Puerto Rico, is used to illustrate on-line retrieval, statistical analysis and interactive graphics.
