The Wolfram Solution for Social and Behavioral Sciences
The Wolfram social and behavioral sciences solution is an all-in-one system for designing and running experiments, collecting and analyzing data and reporting results interactively.
Includes sophisticated statistical analysis capabilities, built-in socioeconomic data and instant interactivity and deployment options, as well as the most automated computation and development environment available.
- The Wolfram Edge
- How Wolfram Compares
- Key Capabilities
Wolfram technologies include thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:
- Perform agent-based modeling and simulation of social behavior, customer movements in a store and much more
- Analyze social networks made of nodes and ties to study the complex sets of relationships between members of social systems at all scales, from interpersonal to international
- Build mathematical models to study criminality, voter patterns, media impacts on consumer behavior and more
- Analyze all kinds of data, including survey data, census data and more, using built-in data analysis tools
- Combine the extensive built-in demographic and socioeconomic data with your own for extending your models
- Simulation of complex adaptive social systems or artificial societies, composed of interacting agents
- Instantly create fully interactive interfaces for real-time analysis
