What is StatDocs?
StatDocs is a project to design
an electronic publishing system
for creating statistics documents that are
dynamic, interactive, and reproducible.
Why StatDocs?
The broad goal of the publishing system is to significantly improve
the model for reporting statistical results by providing a consistent
environment for authors to easily prepare, update and
redo analyses and computational experiments, and to create an entire
document containing the results from the analyses and experiments and
the code that produced the results.
How will StatDocs be implemented?
The advances in information technology that have
particular relevance to this project are the developments in the area of
integration of software components,
and in languages for
creating documents, such as the
eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and
the eXtensible Stylesheet Language
(XSL) and browsers for reading them.
