Designed for researchers, PhD scholars, professors, students, and analysts, it enables advanced quantitative research without subscriptions, cloud dependencies, or proprietary software restrictions. Key features include visual drag-and-drop model building, bootstrapping, mediation analysis, HTMT, AVE, Composite Reliability (CR), Cronbach's Alpha, model fit assessment, and Multi-Group Analysis (MGA). NAVAL-SEM also supports export to R, Python, and Lavaan for reproducible research workflows. Built for academic and professional research, NAVAL-SEM helps users conduct scale validation, measurement assessment, and structural modeling across disciplines including marketing, management, psychology, education, healthcare, and social sciences. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

MCPower-GUI is a desktop application that provides a graphical interface for the MCPower Monte Carlo power analysis library. It guides users through the full workflow across three tabs: Model setup (formula input with live parsing, CSV data upload with auto-detected variable types, effect size sliders, and correlation editing), Analysis configuration (find power for a given sample size or find the minimum sample size for a target power, with multiple testing correction and scenario analysis), and Results (interactive charts, exportable tables, and auto-generated Python replication scripts). Supports both standard linear models and mixed-effects models. Additional features include analysis history, configurable scenarios, and built-in documentation.

Python and pygame cross platform program to exercise the brain with the intention of enhancing useful field of view, also known as speed of responsiveness. This yields benefits in driving, motility, and even depressive symptoms, as described in research papers of randomized, double blind trials. Whether ufov exercise the brain to yield those benefits is unknown, since there are no research studies using it. The research is conducted with a commercial product that I have not seen or used. I used the description of what useful field of view is supposed to do to create this program for experimental purposes. I notice personal changes from using the program, but that is only anecdotal evidence. I was especially struck by the research that found a significant decrease in dementia for those who used such a program to exercise their brain. For a full description of the program, and links to some information about useful field of view, see the project web page.

Sophisticated environment for developing web-based applications. It includes lots of handy low-level components including: 1/ mySql interface, including table creation, tables as class, query as iterator 2/ html generation 3/ multi-lingual ability 4/ html form field handling 5/ etc. On top of this is a high-level framework that allows rapid development of database apps including seach/create/display/update, user navigation between related entities and much more. Included, as a sample application, is FAMTREE: a Family Tree maintenance system. This uses most of the features of CFE and can be used as-is or as a model for developing other applications. Also included is BRIDGE. This allows one or more users to play this card game

This collection of Python3 modules provides a large range of implemented decision aiding algorithms useful in the field of outranking digraphs based Multiple Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA), especially best choice, linear ranking and absolute or relative rating algorithms with multiple incommensurable criteria. Technical documentation and tutorials are available under the following link: https://digraph3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ The tutorials introduce the main objects like digraphs, outranking digraphs and performance tableaux. There is also a tutorial provided on undirected graphs. Some tutorials are problem oriented and show how to compute the winner of an election, how to build a best choice recommendation, or how to linearly rank or rate with multiple incommensurable performance criteria. Other tutorials concern more specifically operational aspects of computing maximal independent sets (MISs) and kernels in graphs and digraphs.

Condict is a cross-platform GUI program for creating dictionaries.

The program will convert to text an image, such as a photo , with the purpose of analyzing it to spot intelligible words. Use the program with photos of clouds, sea, soil, vegetation or any other photo of natural or man-made semi-homogeneous configuration, to reveal the hidden universal-philosophical messages of the image. You can also use it on photos of people or art pieces to have a psychological insight of the person portrayed or of the image author. The resulting text will be a long string of mostly repeating characters but, every so often, you will notice an intelligible word, either spelled normally or with repeated letters, missing letters or anagrammed letters.

With this Python module (based on C++ code) it is possible to create a Brain Comp. Interface (BCI) and herewith to get EEG data online and evaluate the data while receiving it. - Up to now, this tool relies on the Brain Vision Rec. as EEG software -

QBIQ is a text archiving and exploring tool as used in qualitative sociology. Texts can be marked by variables and parts of texts by "codewords". Information can be retrieved using logical expressions of the codewords and variables.

The program can read a text file and count the occurrences of single words and clusters of 2 and 3 words. The resulting list will be sorted in descending order (highest frequency on top).
