Statistical Data Analysis Tool Project

Overview

Statistical models are widely used in analysis of different types of data currently.Statistical analysis of data acts a major role in decision making under uncertainty and it is widely used in surveys, research,business and science. Hence it is very useful to have a statistical data analysis tool in a data manipulating application like Calc. The main aspect of the statistical data analysis tool project is to provide the user ability of performing various statistical functions to analyze data in openoffice calc in a very user friendly manner.

Project plan

  • Determining the different analysis methods to be included in the tool
  • Getting familiar with each analysis method and collecting information about
    • How the data input should be given to the method
    • Other external user given parameters required
    • How the output should be displayed
  • Developing the basic extension for calc ( building the UNO bridge between analysis tool and calc)
  • Developing each analysis method according to the following steps
    • User interface design considering the input and other parameters required
    • Developing the functionality of the method
    • Displaying the output of the analysis
    • Testing the method
  • Testing the whole analysis tool
  • Documentation of the code

Project status

  • The project is accepted for the OpenOffice summer internship program 2010
