 Hi folks,

 A friend ask me whether I do know an (FLOSS) alternative to
 Statgraphics. Unfortunately I don't know this program neither available
 FLOSS possibilities out there. Anyone of you might having an idea? I I
 understand him correctly, its mostly used for planning test parameters
 on experiments and finding correlations between them.

 I think this will do what you need:
 
 http://www.sagemath.org/
 
 sage runs R as a subset of its functions  can do almost any variety of
 math required. Its under heavy development but has stable versions. No
 debian specific versions but some binaries are avilable, I using a
 roll-my-own version compiled on Debian stable 64 bit. I have also
 installed binaries for Ubuntu  they worked well. Sage has very few
 dependencies as most of it is compiled into a very large almost
 monolithic system, all of the subsets (R, Maxima, many more) apps are in
 fact hacked to work within the sage system
 Best wishes!!

Thank you very much. From my understand this should fit. However I
forwarded this info to my frined. Let's hope its what he was looking for ;)

Cheers,

I don't know of any, sorry :-( but maybe you can direct your friend to 
this Wikipedia link with lots of programs for the same purpose so he/she 
can check and review if there's any that can fit to his/her requirements:
