2 INTRO ALLTHATSTATS - Rev. 3 - provides again a further optimised and powerfully equipped toolbox to retrieve, access, present, analyse, export and publish tables and graphs in a high print quality. Depending on the underlying licence package, ALLTHATSTATS provides online access to more than one billion economic data time series and country tables from approx. 65,000 databases published by national and international official and semi official institutions - merged into one common data warehouse for simultaneous access, facilitating discoverability and usability of current data. ALLTHATSTATS has been extended with integrated web-crawling and indexing techniques. They frequently scan the web for news and information published by national statistical authorities, central banks and public research institutions.

6 DATA ACCESS RETRIEVAL KEYWORD SEARCH ALLTHATSTATS has been optimised for fast data retrieval at any level of work. It generates direct hits linking to single time series (e.g. GDP Norway), database hits linking to the relevant data source (e.g. OECD s Main Economic Indicators) and links to websites on the internet (e.g. Statistics Norway). At the top of each page, ALLTHATSTATS provides the possibility to define a query and to start a simultaneous search through all sources by keywords. The results are listed in up to three different hit lists: Database hits Direct hits External hits

7 HIERARCHICAL SEARCH The ALLTHATSTATS homepage is also the home of the main search tree *) : it controls direct access to all sources by hierarchical breakdown, e.g.: DATA ACCESS SOURCE: THEME: DATABASE: OECD Economic Indicators Main Economic Indicators ALLTHATSTATS loads the entire database selected - here: Main Economic Indicators - into the database section for further action. *) The colours of the knots mark the licenced sources/ databases: here, the green ones. The yellow ones allow limited access to databases which are not part of the licenced publication.

8 DATA ACCESS NEAR-FIELD SCANNER At database level ALLTHATSTATS presents the entire database previously selected. At this stage, a powerful filter tool helps identify the series requested: The underlying official classification plan has been empowered to scan the database classification plan and check for relevant filter branches, e.g.: OECD s Main Economic Indicators Location Australia... Subject Leading indicators OECD... Measure Level, rate or national currency... additionally supported by a local keyword search.

9 DATA PRESENTATION GRAPHICS ALLTHATSTATS displays the selected series in charts and tables. It does not restrict the number of time series to be displayed simultaneously. The charts come with a zoom functionality to scale the series easily by moving the mouse over the requested period. The following charts are available: Dotted line chart Scatterplot Area chart, also stacked Bar char, also stacked Spider web TABLES Table shows the latest data at the top of the table (LIFO-rule). The table can be extended on demand by increasing the number of periods to be loaded. So even big data tables can be loaded within seconds (e.g. for data downloads).

10 DATA ANALYSIS DATA EXPORT SHARE CALCULATOR ALLTHATSTATS presents the selected series in charts and tables. From both views it s possible to export, share and publish the data or to switch to the calculator section for further statistical analysis. There are a number of common export formats: CSV, Excel s XLS and LaTeX. The corresponding files can be processed/imported by all popular statistics programs and Latex. Share generates a unique link ready to be passed on to colleagues or social networks, allowing direct access to the respective table or graph. The calculator section activates a set of statistical tools ready to start individual ad-hoc data analyses for each time series: Pre-defined functions Lag Moving average Interpolation of missing values Forecast Difference calculation Rate of change calculation (compounded and continuously compounded) General statistical figures (min, max, mean, standard deviation, covariance) Time series calculator

11 DATA PUBLICATION PUBLISHER GRAPHICS R-SNIPPETS ALLTHATSTATS Rev. 3 comes with Publisher, the new application tool allowing to generate graphs in high qualities (up to 600 dpi) camera-ready for easy implementation into presentations or publications. Publisher automatically generates charts for the selected data time series, which can be edited (e.g. headers, axes or legends) and downloaded in various formats: PDF, PNG and SVG. To support individual modifications all graphs can also be downloaded for further handling and processing in R. Publisher provides the corresponding R-snippet incl. data file.

12 SUPPORT CLASSIFICATION METHODS FOOTNOTES TUTORIALS HELP CENTER ALLTHATSTATS offers a broad range of customer support. Each database has been supplemented as far as available by the corresponding source - by its classification plan, corresponding methodological notes and footnotes for each data point. ALLTHATSTATS provides a number of context-related online tutorials, one mouse click away at any stage of work: Keyword search Search tree At database level Hit list Presentation Analysis Publication ALLTHATSTATS Help Center supplies the latest news and detailed descriptions of data sources, databases and contents directly linking to the related methods and data.
