About Statcato
Statcato is a free Java software application developed for elementary statistical computations. Its features are tailored for community college statistics students and instructors.
Features
Statcato has two main windows: Log, where outputs of computations are displayed; and Datasheet, which contains sheets 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
