COMponent-based Statistical Computing

by Aydinli, Gökhan

Modern statistical analysis requires standardization, transparency, interactivity, and reproducibility. This thesis presents an add-in based solution building on Microsoft’s COM technology which aims to fulfil these requirements. We will argue in favor of open and flexible environments within a distributed, i.e. client/server framework. Our emphasize lies on spreadsheets as suitable frontends for add-in based statistical systems.
