--- Comment #5 from Edmund Laugasson <[email protected]> --- Well in that case this bug could be like the metabug, collecting all other data analysis bugs or actually feature requests. The reason - these other bugs are not talking all of these aspects. I would also say that I am not the math or statistics professor and not familiar with all of these exact functions and its aspects but I know two of these packages (analysis toolpak and real statistics toolpak), which contain all the asked features of data analysis. I am talking in the name of all scientists but they will not even look toward LibreOffice if there are not at least on the same level data analysis like in MS Excel. The question is that actually there is a plan to find resources (money, people) to create that functionality but not yet clear when it will be happen. If there could be kind of H2020 project it would be nice. Not only statistics and data analysis but all LibreOffice functionality should be tested and teaching materials created. Then also appropriate teachers, professors would be involved and also missing features better described. As I am not the mathematician, it would not be good idea to describe by me all this. But you all who are receiving messages of current bug could help me. I try to do it also. I guess there would be needed to set up kind of MS Excel instance and look inside it. Then install also that real statistics package and also this one. I guess what would be possible to do - copy help text and examples (if any) from MS Excel, make some pictures how it looks like and create bug report, actually feature request. Then there would be at least information of existing functionality. But I guess if programmer(s) would like to implement these functions, then there would be needed to test actual work and compare results with MS Excel. Then there must be mathematician available to give an expert rating of the results. I guess kind of similar hunting session should be organized like LibreOffice bug hunting sessions are, where also appropriate teachers, professors are involved to create these functions with examples and tutorials. There are MS Office 60-day and 90-day MS Windows trial versions legally available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/ Also there are preinstalled virtual machines available at http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/ - same trial versions but already preinstalled virtual machines and also for Linux and Mac OS. I would propose to leave currently as unconfirmed but if you have better ideas - let us hear them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
