Subject: Preparing Data For Statistical Analysis and Reporting


How much data munging is done by Ruby-ists?

If you need some tools for preparing data for analysis, transforming
data, and cleaning data up, there are some tools to check out at:

including:

Vilno
DAP
PSPP

DAP is an open-source version of SAS
PSPP is an open-source version of SPSS
Vilno uses it's own language for data transformation, similar to SQL
SELECT, SAS, and SPSS.

For statistics itself, I am rather curious about Apophenia
( apparently a C library for statistics that can be called by any
statistics package).
