Data Analysis
The Data analysis module provides advanced access to all the data that has been published to the FEWS NET Data Warehouse (FDW), in addition to data consolidation tools. Its purpose is to allow for detailed inspection of the data for drawing informed conclusions, and to support decision-making.
The following options are available for the Data analysis module and can be accessed via the FDW system menu dropdown:
Single data series
The Single data series option lists all data series within the system, regardless of domain category. Selecting a data series within this module will open the selected series within the Data series management module for additional analysis or editing.
Population estimates for Shapefiles
The Population estimates for Shapefiles tool determines the population within a Shapefile. To upload and return the population statistics for a Shapefile, follow the steps below:
Click Choose File to select a zipped Shapefile that meets Esri or .shp standards. Upload the file.
Select the year by which the population will be calculated. For example, to determine the population within the uploaded Shapefile in 2001, select 2001 from the dropdown menu.
Indicate whether the output should include a full demographic breakdown. If this box is unchecked, the system will only return the population statistics.
Define whether the output should be calculated using a calibration factor from a user-specified data source document.
Click Submit
You can also download population and demography estimates within FDE for Shapefiles available on the platform. Learn more about the customization options in the Spatial Domain.
