Already an update with the following changes from version 0.1:

General:

• Icon changed
• Decimal separator always “.” no matter the chosen locale of the phone (for consistency purposes)
• Screen rotate issues fixed

Distribution tool:

• Typing error: Continuous distributions density output changed from “F([input]) = …” to “f([input]) = …”
• Error description at the parameter tab if the parameters are illegal when trying to plot
• Descriptives gets calculated automatically when sampling data
• The link under properties has been made clickable

Finally, a (“beta”) version 0.1 of STA is available on the market. Just search for STA. Please let me know if you run into trouble or would like certain features!

After having done some preliminary application development for Android (and finally finished my master’s), I’ve decided to start a new project. And to blog about the creation of this new project. (As an aside I would really like to point out that I haven’t forgot about Watexy, but for now it is not possible to improve it.)

The aim of the project is to develop an Android-application with basic statistical tools (I really miss R on my phone, but the project won’t be a R-clone nevertheless). So far the codename for the application is Statistical Toolbox for Android (or simply STA).

It is not going to be a programming language such as S, but an easy-to-use graphical statistical toolbox. The features I’ve thought about including in the first version are:

• Quantiles (and fractiles) for a wide range of univariate probability distributions
• Descriptive statistics (the first two or three empirical moments, correlation measures)
• A guide for choosing the right statistical test

The features for the later versions could be:

• Loading datasets (from mail, files on SD-card, or manual input)
• A range of statistical tests
