<h2 style="background-color:#d7dfed;font-size:12pt;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px"><a name="a05"></a>OR Toolbox – <em>Streamlined Online Analysis</em></h2>
<p>ICPSR has created a streamlined interface for the online analysis system SDA using its built-in XML export capabilities. The new interface improves SDA in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds drag and drop for selecting row/column/filter/control</li>
<li>Moves display changes to output screen so that variable selection is simpler</li>
<li>Streamlines handling of weights by removing weight selection if only one weight is available (and required)</li>
</ul>
<p>When available for particular <a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies?sdaAvailable=true">studies in SDA</a>, you'll find the tool in the "Analyze Online" portion of the study home page where it is referred to as "run/simple crosstab/frequency."</p>
