1. Introduction to MONK Analytics
2. Dunnings Log Likelihood
3. Naive Bayes
4. Decision Trees (C4.5)
5. Cluster and Classification*
6. Frequent Pattern Analysis -Using Feature Lens

* is available in TeksTale

Workbench

The MONK workbench is the main environment in which to create worksets, perform analytics, and save results. The functionality of the workbench is described in the following documentation, also available in context for users of the workbench:

1. Getting Started
2. Define Worksets
   • Table
   • Timeline
   • Chart
3. Import Worksets
4. Workset Comparison
   
   1. Feature Comparison
      • Frequency Comparison
      • Dunnings Log Likelihood Comparison
      • Term and Inverse Document Frequency Comparison
   2. Work Comparison
5. Classification

Flamenco, Zotero, and MONK

Flamenco is a faceted browser developed at Berkeley University's School of Information (various tutorials are provided here). George Mason University's Center for History and New Media produces Zotero, a bibliographic note-taking and collection-building tool that operates as an extension to the Firefox web browser. MONK uses Flamenco to provide faceted browsing and selection for its publicly accessible collections, and it uses Zotero as a kind of shopping cart in which to store those collections, to be imported into the MONK workbench. If you have

• Firefox (version 3 or better)
• the Zotero add-on to Firefox, and
• the MONK extension for Zotero

then you will be able to save these Flamenco subsets as Zotero collections, and import these collections as MONK worksets, using the Import Worksets Tool in the MONK workbench. You can also create and edit worksets within the workbench itself; Flamenco, Zotero, and the MONK extension for Zotero are not required in order to work with MONK, but Flamenco's faceting provides functionality not directly available in MONK's Define Worksets tool.
