Hi Jan,

It looks like you have the unstable version of JGR installed. you will
need version 1.6-7 available on CRAN. simply run

install.packages("JGR")

Hi,

I tried to install Deducer on an Gentoo Linux AMD64 and received the
following error messages:

Hi All,

  I am seeking comments, suggestions, bugs, and users for a data analysis
GUI that has just been released to CRAN. One of the first areas that I think
that this GUI could be of use is in the classroom, so your comments would be
very valuable to me. An online manual is available (though under
construction) here:

http://www.deducer.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DeducerManual

  I'd appreciate any feedback or bugs. I'm particularly interested in
experiences using it from within non-JGR GUI's, and under Linux. If any of
you teach introductory/intermediate statistics, I'd like to know how you
would feel about using it in the classroom.

TIA,
Ian


p.s. Installation instructions:
install.packages("Deducer",,"http://cran.r-project.org")

Deducer 0.1 has been released to CRAN

Deducer is designed to be a free, easy to use, alternative to proprietary
software such as SPSS, JMP, and Minitab. It has a menu system to do common
data manipulation and data analysis tasks, and an excel-like spreadsheet in
which to view and edit data frames. The goal of the project is to two fold.

       1. Provide an intuitive interface so that non-technical users
          can learn and perform analyses without programming getting
          in their way.
       2. Increase the efficiency of expert R users when performing
        common tasks by replacing hundreds of keystrokes with a few
        mouse clicks. Also, as much as possible the GUI should not
        get in their way if they just want to do some programming.

Deducer is integrated into the Windows RGui, and the cross-platform Java
console JGR, and is also usable and accessible from the command line.
Screen shots and examples can be viewed in the online wiki manual:

http://www.deducer.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DeducerManual

Comments and questions are more than welcome. A discussion group has been
created for any questions or recommendations.
