This is an upgrade release of the Open Infrastructure for Outcomes (OIO) server software, packaged on a remastered Knoppix 3.3 2003/11/19. This release contains both new features and bug fix.
The focus of this release is enhanced reports-generation. Data collected through OIO forms can now be organized and tabulated through 2 separate reporting medules:
- Data mining - where data are extracted from forms, transformed, and loading into a new "merged data" table for data analysis. Each "merged data" table represents a snapshot-in-time of the dataset.
- Live Reports - where a virtual table is contructed from a set of queries - each query provides a column in the resulting data set.
Statistics by R
R offers a rich set of data manipulation and statistical functions. Unfortunately, it is a bit intimidating to use except by expert statisticians. Thanks to Gregory Warnes, Zope applications can communicate with R via the RSessionDA product. OIO-1.0.8 calls R functions through RSessionDA and provides convenient web-interface to sophisticated statistical functions. OIO-1.0.8 implements 2 statistical functions from R's extensive library as a proof-of-concept and first step towards bringing the full-power of R to wider usage.
