SOFA – Statistics Open For All – es una buena aplicación para crear estadísticas y analizarlas, teniendo además la posibilidad de crear vistosos reportes para imprimir y ver en pantalla.
Acaba de ser actualizado a su versión 0.8.14 siendo sus principales cambios:
- Can modify the design of tables in the built-in SOFA database (variable names, types, order, table names).
- Able to insert and delete rows when editing value labels.
- Can delete tables in the built-in database.
- The sofa id field is now read-only when designing tables and the user gets useful messages if they try to delete it or insert a new field before it.
- CSV importer copes with inconsistent new line characters anywhere they are encountered.
- Fixed bug when a key is deleted in a value list and then OK is hit.
- Removed bug where focus would move erratically when entering long lists of value labels.
- Changing database or table when making table reports resets the column buttons as it should.
- Numbers like 1000000000000.2 are now displayed as simple numbers instead of as 1e+12 etc.
- Newly-created tables appear in the table dropdown list immediately.
Existe un paquete deb para poder instalarlo en Karmic, pero antes necesitaremos una versión especial de wxpython.
Para poder instalar esta versión especial abrimos un Terminal y copiamos y pegamos línea por linea:
wget http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debuntu/uqvislab-pubkey.asc
sudo apt-key add uqvislab-pubkey.asc
sudo apt-get update
sudo wget http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debuntu/sources.list.d/karmic.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/uqvislab.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-webkitwx
Una vez instalado, ahora sí podremos usar el deb para instalar Sofa 0.8.14:
