I've found with Windows Vista producing histograms or regression on even moderately large datasets will lead to hangs (long periods of inactivity). This is not a bug in Gnumeric but an issue with RAM usage and Vista. The fix is to have students or your users either: 1) Remove some apps from

Multiple modes

2011-02-03 Thread Daniel P. Dougherty
If I have a data with several different values having the same frequency is there a way to have Descriptive Statistics return each of these? In this example I might want Gnumeric to tell me that both 2 and 6 are modes. Under the Statistics Tab of the Descriptive Statistics dialog it might be

Histogram "Bins" tab options problem

2011-02-08 Thread Daniel P. Dougherty

Sorry if this starts to sound rant-ish (it's really not). It might be cleaner to have a check box way back in the "Graphs & Options" tab to provide the option to the user to normalize the frequencies by bin width rather than have the "Histogram chart" option forcibly (and silently) do this.

Bug in selection intervals??

2011-02-14 Thread Daniel P. Dougherty
It used to be in prior versions of Gnumeric that you could select the entire column by clicking on the column header when doing a linear regression. Now when I do this I just get gibberish. SUMMARY OUTPUT Response Variable: Column 2
