------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 5 14:09:50 -0700 2006 ------- I can only partially agree with discoleo. Using external applications for advanced statistical analysis is probably the best choice from a technical point of view. However there's no doubt that the absence of statistical tools in OpenOffice represents a serious limitation for users and, as consequence, for the adoption of OpenOffice in many work places such as labs, schools, universties. I think more factors should be considered. Using external applications requires the user to install and learn how to use them, which is usually more difficult than working with a spreadsheet. For example, doing a regression in Excel is just some click. Also, another important factor is that many applications used to manage analysis instruments in labs save data in a spreadsheet format (usually xls). So it's immediate to manipulate data in Excel or Calc, while it would require conversions to use external software. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
