  COMPLEX-IT is a case-based, mixed-methods platform for social inquiry into
complex data/systems, designed to increase non-expert access to the tools of
computational social science (i.e., cluster analysis, artificial intelligence,
data visualization, data forecasting, and scenario simulation). In particular,
COMPLEX-IT aids social inquiry though a heavy emphasis on learning about the
complex data/system under study, which it does by (a) identifying and
forecasting major and minor clusters/trends; (b) visualizing their complex
causality; and (c) simulating scenarios for potential interventions. COMPLEX-IT
is accessible through the web or can be run locally and is powered by R and the
Shiny web framework.
