Profiler Plus 5.8.4

program: Profiler Plus 5.8.4
author: Michael D. Young
distributor: Social Science Automation
documentation: none
download: free version for unfunded academic research. You have to create an account.
operating system(s): MS-Windows
description: A general purpose content analysis engine designed for leadership analysis. Profiler+ searches a sentence from left to right for ordered sets of tokens (words and/or punctuation) that have been identified as indicators of a trait, of another measure of interest or perhaps of a particular type of communication. Profiler+ examines each token in turn and queries a database to determine if the token serves as the anchor for any target sets. If the token does serve as an anchor in one or more target sets the program determines if the other tokens in the set are also present in the sentence in the appropriate order. If all the tokens in a set can be matched then the indicated actions are taken - in the simplest case a code is written to a file. Any remaining target sets that have not been eliminated are ignored.
