BlueSky Statistics

BlueSky Statistics is a statistics application that puts a graphical interface over the R and Python analytics engines. Users can run statistics, machine learning and quality work without writing code, yet can still script tasks and reproduce analyses. The company says the software is used in more than 135 countries.

What BlueSky Statistics offers

• Statistical interface: menus covering over 400 functions across statistics, graphics, modelling, machine learning and reliability engineering.
• Quality and Six Sigma tools: process improvement and design of experiments for engineers and lean practitioners.
• Graph builder: a drag-and-drop tool for building charts, new in the Pro edition.
• BlueSky StatGPT: an AI assistant add-on for Pro that explains output, charts and assumptions within the analysis.
• Output and extensions: export to Microsoft Office, R Markdown, HTML and LaTeX, plus a marketplace and framework for new add-ons.

Who it serves

It is aimed at data scientists, quality control engineers, Six Sigma practitioners, biostatisticians, statisticians and business analysts. The company says several thousand organisations use it, and it cites Mayo Clinic as one that moved to it.
