I would like to be able to perform statistical analyses (T-tests,
Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, chi-square, linear regression, etc.) on data
sets stored in databases (SQL Server 7 or Access). There don't seem to
be any custom tags at Allaire for the purpose. Can anyone point me to
custom tags or even pseudocode algorithms for doing statistics?
In some discussion with local CF developers, we have considered what
would be the optimal approach for doing statistical computing. The
consensus seems to be that Javascript is too slow, lacks many useful
math functions, and would in some cases require a lot of data to be
transferred for client-side processing. ColdFusion offers the advantage
of server-side processing of data and just delivering the results to the
user, but might also be rather inefficient. A compiled CFX would
probably be an improvement, but requires the intervention of a whole
lower-level programming environment. I'm thinking that stored
procedures might work well in SQL Server, but not everyone thinks so,
citing lack of many math functions. Some think that server-side Java is
the way to go. What do you people think?

Karl Simanonok
