SOFA Statistics (and SOFA Lite) are both written in Python. SOFA Statistics was originally written in Python2 and ported into Python3. SOFA Lite is being written in Python 3.11 from the ground up and tries to use the best features that modern Python provides. Not all features added to Python recently are good features and […]
SOFA Statistics is now in stable, maintenance mode. New releases are mainly for bug fixes. If you have been having problems running SOFA on Ubuntu / Debian / Linux check out the new deb and archive downloads at https://www.sofastatistics.com/downloads.php Alongside SOFA Statistics I have started SOFA Lite https://github.com/grantps/sofalite.

Version 1.5.4 of SOFA Statistics has been released. It supports a wider range of SQL Server versions and has numerous bug fixes. It: Supports more versions of MS SQL Server by switching to the pyodbc library (from a deprecated library) Standardises multiline checkboxes Copes with different versions of openpyxl without forcing Linux users to pin […]
SOFA 1.5.1 has just been released but unfortunately only for Windows, Ubuntu, and other Linux distros. Mac users cannot install the latest version of SOFA and I suspect the package for SOFA 1.4.6 doesn’t work on modern Mac systems. So it is probably time to package SOFA 1.5.1 for contemporary Mac systems. Hence the call […]
SOFA Statistics 1.5.0 was a big change from previous versions in terms of its underlying technologies. Unfortunately that meant a number of bugs made it past release testing. Every bug identified so far has been fixed in 1.5.1 so now is a good time to upgrade.
SOFA Statistics was first released in May 2009. Since that time SOFA has been downloaded nearly 300,000 times – which is about 10,000 times more than I ever expected :-). Since that time many statistics packages have faded away and others have risen. Hopefully, SOFA Statistics has been a good option for many people and […]
Statistics can be mind bending and complex. It can make your brain hurt and your heart despair. But sometimes it is very simple and easy to follow. Four of the statistical tests provided by SOFA Statistics – namely Mann-Whitney U Wilcoxon’s Signed Ranks Spearman’s Rho Pearson’s Chi Square – are reasonably easy to understand with […]
Version 1.5.0 is nearly ready to release and not before time ;-). The last release was 1.4.6 in January 2016 but the time since then has not been wasted. Here are some of the changes ready to go: SOFA will be able to display worked examples for the following statistical tests: Mann-Whitney U Wilcoxon’s Signed […]
