1. Pick shot conditions
Check the shot-condition variables you want to look at. Use the search box or category buttons to find them.
2. Choose what to compute
How were shots distributed? — Frequencies. Which conditions moved together? — Correlations. How did one group of shots compare to another? — Crosstabs (pick exactly two conditions).
3. Run and read
Click Run Analysis. Results appear below — scroll down. All numbers use the survey’s design weights, so they reflect the full U.S. likely-voter population, not just the raw sample.
Advanced features
Pin runs to compare
Click Pin this run in the results header to save a snapshot. Pinned runs collect at the bottom — expand to compare previous results side by side.
Filter and search
Search by keyword or question code (e.g. “q31” or “Khrushchev”). Category buttons narrow the list by topic. Click × on any active filter chip to clear it.
Go deeper
Variables you find here can go straight into the Model Builder to test what predicted 3-point shot makes. The Explorer is a good first step before modeling.
