What is NetMiner?

NetMiner is a software tool for exploratory analysis and visualization of large network data. NetMiner 4 embed internal Python-based script engine which equipped with the automatic Script Generator for unskilled users. Then the users can operate NetMiner 4 with existing GUI or programmable script language.

Key Features

Expressive Network Data Model

NetMiner has data structure that can express various types of nodes, links, node attributes and link attributes. In this flexible data structure, almost any social events and research topics can be modelled for network analysis.

Large Scale Network Data Processing

With proper license, computing power, and some algorithmic limitation, NetMiner can handle over 1,000,000 nodes and 10,000,000 links.

Comprehensive Network Measures and Methods

In NetMiner, about 140 analysis modules are mounted. There are 26 modules for data transformation, 66 modules for network analysis, 19 modules for statistical analysis, and 37 modules for network visualization and chart.

Standardized Option and Output Process

All of the analysis sessions in NetMiner are composed of five common analysis components that support standardized analysis process: input, pre-process, main-process, post-process, and output.

Intuitive User Interface

NetMiner is driven by GUI and provides intuitive workflow management interface for complicated analysis.

NetMiner Script Environment

NetMiner provides a python-based script environment. This can access most functions of NetMiner including data management, network analysis, and visualization. Users can create his or her own custom plugins by NetMiner script.

Mix and Match of Numerical and Graphical Output

Exploratory analysis based on the results is available on the graphical output panel. With this visual exploration, intuitive and dynamic interpretation of network analysis results is available.

Integrated Environment for Statistical Analysis

NetMiner provides built-in methods for statistical analysis and visualization.
