MD Pathologist Medical Practice Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "BlueSky Statistics" April 24, 2020 4.0 Pros BlueSky Statistics Free Version can be used for many clinicopathological research analysis. It can be used for descriptive statistics, group comparisons, hypothesis tests. It depends on R-project. That is why one has to install R separately. Some analysis coming with base R packages can be performed easily. However when one tries to use analysis that require other packages (like survival analysis) it gives an error with instructions guiding how to install missing R packages. This step should be modified to update or install packages automatically. Many users are not familiar with R-project and library structure. Cons Coming soon link goes to an old page. The interface mimics SPSS too much. Review Source TK Ton K.

Senior Lecturer Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An excellent bridge to using R" April 12, 2020 4.0 Just very impressed. Some useful online guidance and podcasts plus notifications provided of software upgrades Pros For those of you used to using SPSS etc. but want to develop into R users this is the software for you. A graphical user interface makes it less daunting for the new user but allows access to a wide range of R packages. Code can be accessed and indeed added to when needed.
