About StatDocs

StatDocs are dynamic, integrated, reproducible, interactive, statistical documents.

• A StatDoc document dynamically integrates text with data, code, and GUI components, and it supports multiple views of its contents.
   
• The document can be reproducible because the code that produced the figures, tables, and algorithms can be inspected, modified, reused and critiqued by the reader, and because code in the document is represented in a common form that can be translated into different software languages.
   
• The document may handle interactive content in that data can be updated and replotted; and graphical user interfaces can be included to address what-if questions. It can also have dynamic structure in that navigation through and views of the document can be determined according to reader responses and actions.

To find out more about the StatDocs project, take at look at the following papers.

• Dynamic, Interactive Documents for Teaching Statistical Practice, International Statistical Review, Dec 2007.
   
• An Environment for Creating Interactive Statistical Documents paper for the Interface '01.
   
• Authoring Integrated, Dynamic Statistical Documents invited talk, ASA Sacramento Chapter, Apr 12, '01.

The project makes use of several components created as part of the Omegahat project. We will create XSL style-sheets, S functions, interactive components and general authoring tools for creating dynamic and interactive statistical documents.
