Description

Statiscope presents summarizing data and descriptive statistical charts. In the applet you can enter data manually or download data over the Internet. Charts included: Distribution, Probability mass, Density, Box plot, Stem & leaf. Other features such as hypothesis testing and calculation of confidence intervals are also included. The user interface is responsive and friendly, e.g. Statiscope introduces a new funny way of changing the scale. It is intended both for people learning the concepts of statistics and for practical use by researchers of various kinds. A good thing is that it lets people share data and do independent investigations. It is designed to look like an oscilloscope but is concerned with statistics, therefore the name of Statiscope. Statiscope is also available as a standalone application that has Open and Save menu options. This application runs on most common platforms.
