Details On Demand

The amazing D3 and CrossFilter javascript libraries are designed for dynamic analysis of "details on demand". You provide a decent-sized set of raw data (~5MB in the flights demo) and then the javascript tools let you manipulate it instantaneously to search for trends.

For Metal, our "details on demand" consist of the following per-day values:

  • value of metal types in Mexico
  • value of metal types in US
  • value of metal in transit
