smartR is a R-based open-source statistical analysis tool for t-test, multi-variate analysis etc.
It can be used as DIY tool for statistical analysis. User can submit his data using web framework and select different options according to his statistical analysis requirement.
The frontend is made through bootstrap framework and the backend in R using openCPU API. The OpenCPU API defines a mapping between HTTP requests and R function calls which results in a natural RPC protocol. Different types of R statistical packages are used for different types of analysis. The backend has different methods like data upload, data summary, statistical test and fetch result.
Follow these instructions to install smartR for single user.

Design and implement a statistical analysis DIY(Do it yourself) tool that can be used for primitive statistical analysis for business intelligence etc. Tool should enable users to do different types of statistical tests on an easy to use web based platform.
-
Know about scope of project and its usefulness to overall business analyst community.
-
Understanding different statistical tests and possible technologies that can be used.
-
Design a project outlay map for execution, compare and decide among different available technologies that can be used to build that product.
-
Setting the work architecture of the project and then its implementation.
- OpenCPU API( for seamless integration of R and JavaScript)
- Rstudio(for package management)
- R statistical packages(for multivariate analysis etc.)
- Bootstrap(framework for web UI)
Many different types of analysis are implemented in smart-r. On selecting different types of analysis different options for argument selection should be shown (may depend on data uploaded for some analysis). Options for different analysis types are:
One-Sample t test
- test variable(s) selection
- test value # testing if mean of x could be
Sample Result Display
One Sample t-test
data:
x
t = -0.8547, df = 49, p-value = 0.3969
alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 10
95 percent confidence interval:
9.797195 10.081767
sample estimates:
mean of x
9.939481
Once the user upload his data file using on upload file button a R function uploaddata is called through OpenCPU api.
The user can select different arguments about data file type and type of analysis he/she wants to do. The upload data function then again calls for read and validate data package and then data gets stored on server for further interpretation.
As per user input respective stastical fucntion is called and data get intrepreted.Once the statistical tests gets completed, data summary along with the results are shown on web UI as per user input.
This tool can later be developed into a full fledged business intelligence tool that can create and distribute interactive dashboards which depict the trends, variations and density of the data in different forms like graphs etc. It may allow to connect to big data sources to acquire and process data.
