That's true but if you look at the analysis toolpak in MS Excel then you will
see full feature set. E.g. already ANOVA test are in MS Excel three different
ways, in LibreOffice Calc only one way and so one.
Same goes to t-test. A lot of functions still missing.

I proposed also another feature set for scientists like Cronbach's Alpha - Bug
85318. But this Cronbach's Alpha possible to use already in MS Excel.
I would propose to implement all these reliability functions -
http://www.real-statistics.com/reliability/ and not only - also whole Real
Statistics Pack from http://www.real-statistics.com/ - then will be LibreOffice
Calc better than MS Excel and definitely a good choice for scientists, because
these real statistics functions are still missing even from MS Excel's Data
Analysis Toolpak but are extremely important in nowadays science.

Definitely current data analysis set in LibreOffice Calc is a good start but
still scientists claiming that it is not enough for them (especially they are
looking those real statistics functions described above). I am not fully
familiar with all statistics functions (hopefully yet) as I am not the data
analysis professor but as far as I know there are not enough tools for
scientists and this prevents to take LibreOffice in use at universities and
other scientifical institutions and still they use MS Excel.

I could find from Help->Index the choice "statistics functions" and also "data
statistics" but it would be very helpful if we could have one covering chapter
of that, which brings together all that information.
Currently is great chapter "Database functionality" in Calc part of Help.
I would propose to create "Data Analysis functionality" chapter into Calc part
of Help, which will cover all aspects of data analysis, including reliability -
which is extremely important in nowadays science.
