MountieTab:
A Software for Elementary Statistics

Description

MountieTab is a Java software developed for elementary statistical computations. It is a free, open-source software that is developed and used in the Math and Computer Science Department at Mt. San Antonio College. MountieTab is under active development, and more features will be added in future versions. We welcome your feedback so that we can keep improving this software application.

Features

MountieTab has two main windows: Session, where outputs of computations are displayed; and Worksheet, which contains worksheets of data values that can be edited and manipulated using various utilities provided.

Basic data operations include:

Sort, rank, standardize data
Generate patterned data (simple number sequence and arbitrary data sequence)
Generate random samples (e.g.binomial, uniform, integer, normal distributions)

Probability calculations (probability density, cumulative probability, inverse cumulative probability) are supported for the following distributions:

Continuous: Normal, Student's t, Chi-square, F, uniform
Discrete: Binomial, geometric, integer, Poisson

The following statistical computations are supported:

Descriptive statistics (e.g. mean, sum, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, quartiles, skewness, kurtosis, etc.)
Sample size determination for mean and proportion
Confidence intervals for one- and two-population mean, proportion, and variance
Hypothesis Tests for one- and two-population mean, proportion, and variance
Correlation and regression (two-variable linear and non-linear regression, multiple linear regression)
Multinomial experiments (Chi-square goodness-of-fit, contingency table)
Analysis of variance (one-way and two-way ANOVA)

MountieTab also provides a calculator and utilities for creating graphs, including bar chart, box plot, histogram, normal quantile plot, pie chart, and scatterplot.
