  • syntax highlighting,
  • column blocks,
  • search / replace with regular expressions and incremental search,
  • multi-level undo and redo,
  • macro recording and playback,
  • script validation,
  • data processing directly from the editor,
  • run YAC Data Analyzer automatically on the processed data,
  • make-type utility that processes only the changed parts of the documentation and data,
  • and many, many more...
The previous console version is still available (for batch processing).

Press analysis extensions in YAC Data Analyzer 2.10 include:
  • handling of readership data by days for dailies in general analysis and media plans,
  • handling of data on the number of issues, circulation and sales (also by days of the week and by regions),
  • calculation of indicators based on the number of issues, circulation and sales (e.g. cost of insertions / sales),
  • automatic importing and displaying of data collected by Zwiazek Kontroli Dystrybucji Prasy (Union for Control of Press Circulation).
Moreover, many smaller extensions were added that should help in day-to-day program usage.

  • merging of OTS levels (e.g. OTS 1:3),
  • analysis of all indicators by waves of the survey and in various target groups,
  • crossing of all indicators with other questions,
  • analysis of coreadership and structure,
  • simultaneous analysis of many price lists,
  • analysis of only those readership and media plan indicators which are of interest to the user,
  • all data may be analyzed for groups of titles,
  • the CPP and CPM indicators are available in GRP, Reach, and Effective reach flavors (for any level of effective reach, e.g. OTS 3+),
  • population estimation of the indicators: AIR, GRP (i.e. Gross Impressions), OTS, OTS+.
In price lists you can define advertisement prices for all titles and various types of ads, and you can set a default price - one that will be automatically taken for new analyses.

Radio audience analysis

In the new version of YAC Data Analyzer (1.10) you can analyze radio audience data. The following indicators may be computed: spontaneous and prompted awareness, weekly and daily reach, and reach in quarters. The analysis may be crossed by the places of listening and radio signal source. You can also analyze the mean time of listening, market share, and average quarter audience. The program allows for trends analysis, comparison of target groups, calculation of audience structure, colistening of stations and crossing of all indicators by any of the other questions.
All this in flexible pivot tables with the possibility of estimation of the results to the surveyed population, sorting, aggregated analysis for groups of stations, days of the week, time segments and other parameters. You also get: preselection of stations based on emission regions and easy report exports to other applications.

The first version of YAC Data Analyzer is ready

After nearly four months of intensive work we are ready to present the first version of our analytical software: YAC Data Analyzer. Most of our efforts were directed at creating a general platform for the development of various kinds of analyses in the future, but with this version you already get multi-dimensional pivot tables with nested parameters, a fully operational charting module, multi-wave analysis, complex filter (target group) definitions, standard descriptive statistics, analysis of weighted data, and automatic data recalculation after installation of new data. The application is bilingual (Polish-English with the possibility of extension to other languages), the survey texts may be in one, two or more languages.

Our first contract: Outdoor

Millward Brown SMG/KRC contracted us to prepare software which would help in processing data from the survey of outdoor advertising. In the study, with the help of GPS, data was collected on the positions of billboards and on respondents' routes through the city (Wroclaw). Our first application visualized these positions and routes, and calculated billboards closest to respondents. The second program processed the collected data to compute reach and other media indicators.
