| # Instat | ||
| Development of the new version of Instat | ||
| # R-Instat | ||
|
|
||
| R-Instat is free, menu driven statistics software powered by R. It is designed to exploit the power of the R statistical system, while simultaneously being as easy to use as other traditional point and click statistics software, through its menu and dialog-based interface. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Download | ||
|
|
||
| The latest release is available from http://r-instat.org/Download.html where you will also find installation instructions and a getting started guide. R-Instat is currently a Windows only software. All prerequisites, including the R packages needed, are included in the installation file. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Background | ||
|
|
||
| ### African Data Initiative | ||
|
|
||
| R-Instat is the first product developed under the [African Data Initiative](http://africandata.org/) (ADI), a collaborative project aiming to support improved statistics and data literacy across Africa. The overall aim of the African Data Initiative project stretches beyond producing this software, however we believe R-Instat is an important first step in achieving change. | ||
|
|
||
| The original target audiences for R-Instat are described in the [crowd funding campaign](https://chuffed.org/project/africandatainitiative) which launched the development. In it, we claimed there was a gap in available statistics software and there was a need for statistics software that is easy to use, free and open source and encourages good statistical practices. For more on this watch our 3 minute campaign video: | ||
|
|
||
| [](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_YAjLBVPrI) | ||
|
|
||
| ### R | ||
|
|
||
| R-Instat can be thought of as an interface to the [R statistical system](https://www.r-project.org/). We have thought carefully about the R packages we use, but we have had to sometimes deviate from ‘standard’ R code to achieve the functionality of R-Instat. The R code, with the package names, can be seen in R-Instat’s log window. R users might also find this feature useful, for example, to learn the syntax of the [ggplot2](http://ggplot2.org/) package, which R-Instat’s graphics dialogs use. We have made it easy to open the log file in an RStudio script window for users who would like to transition into managing and writing R scripts. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Instat | ||
|
|
||
| The “Instat” in “R-Instat” refers to a [software](https://www.reading.ac.uk/ssc/resourcepage/instat.php) first developed in the 1970s with similar aims and target audiences as R-Instat, and much of the philosophy of R-Instat is inspired by Instat. Instat included a special menu for the analysis of climatic data and R-Instat follows this tradition, as well as including another special menu for the analysis of public procurement data. Users of Instat should find the interface of R-Instat familiar. | ||

| We are guided by <a href= ""></a>road map</p> to deliver the quality of the software we need on time. | ||
| </br> | ||
| <p class="text-faded"> | ||
| R-Instat provides a front-end to R, designed to broaden the users of the software, particularly in Africa. | ||
| "R is an open source programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics that | ||
| is supported by the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. The R language is widely used among statisticians | ||
| and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis." | ||
| <br /> | ||
| R’s reputation has grown incredibly in recent years. General information about R is <a href="https://www.r-project.org/about.html" style="color: blue;">here</a> while the early history of R is given <a href="https://www.r-project.org/conferences/useR-2006/Slides/Chambers.pdf" style="color: blue;">here</a>. | ||
| The original Instat was an easy to use statistics package, produced at the University of Reading, UK. It was designed to support good statistical practice. It also has a special menu for the analysis of historical climatic data. | ||
| <br /> | ||
| The ideas behind Instat have motivated the structure of the R-Instat menus and dialogues, though no line of the original code remains. | ||
