Analysis refers to software intended to analyze data, whether it be mathematical, instrumental, quantitative, or qualitative. This category includes many research and statistical packages as well as graphing tools for showing data trends and correlations.
Modeling software focuses on the digital creation or the digital re-creation of a design. Modeling software allows for digital simulation to explore possibilities, theories, and simulate results. It also allows for easy viewing of the design from perspectives that would otherwise be difficult.
This category includes mapping tools, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) tools, plotting tools, landscape analysts, and geological structure tool. Also included is Software for statistical gathering, analysis, computation, and visualization. Often used in research, polling, or surveying.
