More than 15 years after initial creation, STATCompiler has reached a level of unparalleled excellency with the latest release. The newly designed Beta STATCompiler website now reflects the most up-to-date indicator data from The DHS Program in a platform accessible universally across devices.
There are several changes to STATCompiler that bring it in to a new era:
- New user interface and all new cartography for beautiful maps and visualizations
- Over 500 new indicators including data from the DHS-6 tabulation plan on topics such as domestic violence, female genital cutting, malaria and maternal mortality
- Metadata is now included in the “indicator details” with full definitions, denominators, and the measure of data (rate, percentage, etc.).
- Confidence Intervals are now included in the graphics, an especially important consideration for rare events, particularly HIV prevalence and maternal mortality.
- New data visualizations such as pop-ups in the map that summarizes trends over time
- Mobile friendly interface allows it to be accessed on tablet devices.
- The site now leverages the DHS Program’s public Application Programming Interface (API) ensuring data continuity and authenticity.
STATCompiler is built with modern tools such as JavaScript, HTML 5, the ArcGIS JavaScript API and incorporates proven legacy tools such as ColdFusion.
