Our analytical tools are state-of-the-art, capable of revealing trends and associations that would not otherwise be apparent with traditional methods of analysis. Discover provides an extensive range of statistical, geostatistical, graphical, modelling, and visualization tools that will help you to recognize trends and anomalies in multi-variate data acquired from multiple sources. and just as importantly, Discover will assist you with identifying and eliminating false anomalies that can arise from sampling and assaying errors or geological bias.

In addition to the more specialized geostatistical, gridding, and modelling tools available, Discover employs a broad spectrum of general-purpose spatial, statistical, and graphical techniques for analyzing and classifying populations. And, because these computational tools are all integrated with and complemented by the underlying mapping and visualization capabilities of the Discover MapInfo GIS platform, the entire process is completely seamless and very efficient.

Thematic mapping
MapInfo's renowned system of data classification.

Point classification
Modulate point size, color, and symbol with statistical ranging.

Trivariate mapping
Examine multi-variate relationships.

Stacked profiles
Identify spatial trends with linegraphs and profiles.

Change mapping
Compute and display changes in area and perimeter.

Geo-located graphs
Geo-locate graphs of table data in the map window - for example, scatter plots of geochemistry at the hole collar, or linegraphs of pollutant levels over time at monitoring sites.

Vector plotting
Display magnitude and orientation of vectors - for example, slope stability monitoring and pollutant flows.

Key Functions

• Group data by attribute field (e.g. soil mesh size) and display in the same or separate graphs.
• Insert dynamic graphs in a map window to display additional spatial, statistical, or temporal information
• Modulate color, size, and symbol by user-defined or statistically ranged bins

• Precondition data to remove null values and nugget effects
• Select data in any table, map window, or graph, and view the selection in call open or linked tables, maps and graphs
• Graphs and reports are dynamically updated with each selection
• Define derived fields with mathematical, logical, and statistical operators
