RE: Basic Statistical Tool
From: ogyach...@hotmail.com To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Basic Statistical Tool Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 20:00:36 +0200 Dear All, I need a basic statistical tool such as the Data Analysis Add-in in MS Excel. I have installed MS Office 2007 on Debian Sid but the add-in installation fails. I know Gnumeric has similar functions to Excel's but it lacks some features for graphing that I need. For example, in Excel, linear regression produces graphs in addition to the table of data. I need this feature. OpenOffice.org Calc does not have data analysis feature at all. I have also looked at R but it has a steep learning curve. I need a tool to do an assignment this week. Are there any tools similar to the Excel Data Analysis tool? What happened to KOffice in Sid? apt-cache search koffice does not turn up anything. Any help will be very much appreciated. Kind regards, Ogya Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

I'm unfamiliar with the Excel Data Analysis tool, so I may be misunderstanding the requirement, but have you looked at Gnu Octave? It's very similar to MatLab in its interface, and has quite powerful analysis tools, although I don't know how good the statistical suite is. It certainly has a friendlier learning curve than R. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / rei...@bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

A google search will tell you how to install and run it. MM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

In any case, KOffice 2 is a bit iffy at the moment (like KDE 4.0 or 4.1 was). There is also Gnumeric, the Gnome Office spreadsheet. It has at least some data analysis tools, although I do not know how extensive. GnuPlot might do the job, but it is a command line program.

I guess I have to use more than one tool for the time being and learn R later on.

Re: Basic Statistical Tool
Here's yet another approach using SciPy and matplotlib for plotting: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/LinearRegression Probably doesn't meet your 'Basic' requirement, though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
