1. Introduction to CADStat

2. CADStat and R R is a powerful and free statistical package [http://www.r-project.org/]

3. R capabilities R provides flexible plotting algorithms & libraries for running virtually any statistical analysis… …but R is run at the command line, so there’s a steep learning curve.

4. Java GUI for R (JGR) A Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been developed for R, which provides a point-and-click interface for some basic R functions.

5. CADStat Point-and-click interfaces for statistical tools useful in causal analysis Rendering of analysis results in browser window Additional help files CADStat adds several tools to JGR:

6. To your computers… Launch JGR & set up CADStat add-on.

7. Make sure “loaded” & “default” are checked for CADStat. [you should only have to do this step the 1 st time you run CADStat]

8. Set Working Directory.
