Statistics in Linux

 This is cut and paste  from Redit

Deducer is designed to be a free easy to use alternative to proprietary data analysis software such as SPSS, JMP, and Minitab. It has a menu system to do common data manipulation and analysis tasks, and an excel-like spreadsheet in which to view and edit data frame

 Rattle (the R Analytic Tool To Learn Easily) provides a Gnome (RGtk2) based interface to R functionality for data mining. The aim is to provide a simple and intuitive interface that allows a user to quickly load data from a CSV file (or via ODBC), transform and explore the data, build and evaluate models, and export models as PMML (predictive modelling markup language) or as scores. All of this with knowing little about R.

 Description: KDE frontend to the R statistics language RKWard aims to become an easy to use, transparent frontend to R, a powerful system for statistical computation and graphics. Besides a convenient GUI for the most important statistical functions, future versions will also provide seamless integration with an office-suite.

Above utilities are not in Debian Package Manager .

Well I tried Debian Edu Mathematics.

It looks like Text Editors are used to develop statistics in Linux.

It looks like Linux has data reader for other statistical packages like SPSS and SAS  but there are commercial Linux packages available.

Linux Database or DBS

Linux Database or D.B.S

I wanted to make a note here that Linux has everything but no Database Utility.

This was true in the past and LibreOffice tried it and gave up I believe, since the LibreOffice that comes with Linux does not have it as default.

I tried with SNAP and it gave me a Database reader but I could not even make a table in this reader utility.

Then I made a table in LibreOffice word and tried to export it as a data base but failed.

Finally, I found DBS and it was the right application.

It already has few example of databases with fields and I used plants and mounted five fields.

Well I am going to make a database on Fish, since I have stopped caring for fish except Guppy Fish. 

I can now report that Linux has everything.

I wonder about statistic which I generally hate.

KDE Plasma and KDN Live

Since I could not Install KDE Plasma with Debian Installer, I tried to Install KDE plasma under the Gnome hood and I was successful.

It comes with 25 to 30 utilities, which I already have under Gnome Hood but, KDN Live is a cool tool. 

KDN Live can be installed without KDE Plama Desktop.

Plasma Desktop is elegant and clean much better than Windows, if one is coming from Windows background. 

KDE consumes memory and this is why I do not like
