Data Desk was developed over 30 years ago by a Cornell University Statistics Professor, and we’ve never forgotten our roots.
Our graphical interface is easy to learn and easy to use. Students point to what they want to do and drag variables onto plots and tables to specify what to do it with, so you don’t need to spend class time teaching coding.
Want your students to learn R or Python?
Data desk can ease their way up those steep learning curves. Data desk writes R or Python code to reproduce the analyses or plots students are likely to need in an introductory course.
And Data desk is designed to encourage exploration and display. “Plot your data first” is something we all say, but that step is often skipped. Data desk makes data display easy and fun with plots that rotate, change in response to sliders, and link together with simultaneous highlighting.
