We now offer Varimax, Promax, Quartimax, Equamax, Simplimax, and Oblimin rotation methods, and have added statistics on item 'uniqueness', and component 'variance' to the results too.

๐ข Good news! We've revamped Principal Components Analysis so we now support more rotation methods and provide even more useful statistics in the output...
๐ข McDonald's Omega has just landed in @statscloud.app !
You can now find this under the Reliability Analysis section in our new 'R analyses' screen.

It's always a pleasure to attend the #ATSiP conference each year. Here's @dan.media walking us through the new tools to write your own analysis modules - coming soon!
We've decided to expand the business from developing apps to developing fashion lines.
To celebrate the introduction of our new R analysis modules, here's a blog post from @dan.media explaining what it means for the app: blog.statscloud.app/introducing-...
A screenshot of a release notes page. The page is titled "Version 0.9.8.0" and is dated "23rd June". The rest of the content is the text that is available by visiting https://about.statscloud.app/release-notes#version0980
Our release notes outline all the new features added in our latest update (0.9.8.0). There's a lot of good stuff here, so do take a look if you'd like to know more: about.statscloud.app/release-note...
In the future, we'll use this user-interface for the classic analyses (using our own statistics library) and for Python analysis too. In the meantime, we'd love to hear your feedback! ๐
A screenshot of the "Run new analysis" screen. The subtitle at the top reads "What test would you like to run on your data" with 9 boxes below each describing a statistic analysis (e.g., "Compare sample", "Compare two independent groups", "Compare two related groups"). Each box has a short list of tests below it (e.g., "Z-test (Single)" and "t-test (single)")
We've added in more tests (including Logistic Regression, ANCOVAs) more follow-up tests, and many more are on the way. This R integration opens up some huge possibilities for the app!
The output for R analyses looks identical to the output for the classic analyses, but everything you see has been generated by R. You can view all the code that was executed by R from this handy 'Code' button at the top.
We've also spruced up the interface when running R analyses: The analysis selection screen is cleaner and more informative, and the variables box now lights up in green when appropriate variables have been selected.
A screenshot of the StatsCloud analysis start screen. The main text reads "Run analyses" with the tagline "What would you like to do?" and there are two buttons below; a green "Run new analysis" button and a blue "Run analysis in R (BETA)" button.
๐ข Big news: R analyses have arrived in StatsCloud! ๐
Now, when you go to run an analysis, you'll see this lovely new button that will open up a suite of analyses all written and executed in R. Go on, give it a go! bit.ly/44bPs6V
A screenshot of the blog post at the posted link. The header is called "Our road map for 2025" with the subtext: "Our plans for 2025 and beyond". The blog text follows below.
To celebrate the new year, here's our latest blog outlining exactly what you can expect from statscloud.app in 2025...

Of course, you can find out more about the benefits of self-hosting StatsCloud on our 'Products' page here: about.statscloud.app/products
If you'd like to deploy your own instance of StatsCloud, we've revamped the documentation that walks you through the process. Take a look! - help.statscloud.app/deploying-st...
Here's how StatsCloud helps people learn how to code. As you use the app, it generates live code showing you how you replicate everything you've done in a programming language and then run it in a live terminal! ๐คฏ youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?... #statistics
StatsCloud was designed to be a stepping stone towards learning a programming language, not a substitute for it. The app puts users on a clear pathway to learning well-known statistical programming languages (1/2): youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Analysis modules: When users run an analysis module created in R, the results of it will get displayed in the user-interface and get interact with it, just as they can with any other StatsCloud analysis: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Analysis modules: Here's how easy it is to write an analysis module in R, ready to be shown in the StatsCloud user-interface: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Analysis modules: When you've finished adding all the options for your function, StatsCloud will start to write this function for you with annotated code explaining how you can complete it: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Analysis modules: Creating a new analysis module in StatsCloud will be very easy. Here's how you'll be able to set up a new analysis module and ask users to select variables for it: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Analysis modules: Having integrated R into StatsCloud, we will now allow you write your own custom analysis in R that you can run on any of your projects. Here's how that will work: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Analysis modules: We started by integrating an R terminal into StatsCloud so you can run analysis from R right inside the app! youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Project sharing: The most powerful feature of project sharing is that you can exclude certain columns in your project share links (e.g., those with confidential information). This is incredibly useful when sharing sensitive data sets: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Project sharing: It's now really easy to generate a live share link of a cloud-saved project. These links allow others to see the latest version of your project, even after you've made changes to it: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Widgets: Our standalone widgets are very powerful. They are small, interactive versions of the app that can be embedded into websites, online textbooks, and other teaching resources: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
Widgets: we first created our 'Dashboard view' which allows you to see your whole project on screen all at once...: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...
At the start of the year, we announced three big features we're working on for StatsCloud (widgets, project sharing, and analysis modules).
Here's how that's going: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rILv...
The popular 'Drake' meme showing a man unimpressed at the top picture (the StatsCloud "Home" page with a sudden colour change between the background with text stating "Start a new project") and the man impressed at the bottom picture (showing the same "Home" page, but with a smooth purple gradient of a night sky with no sudden colour changes).
As part of our recent dark mode improvements, we also gave the 'Home' screen on mobiles a bit of a facelift. Enjoy!
The welcome screen for statscloud.app which has an image of devices running statscloud on the left with some key text (including the phrase "A modern cross-platform statistics app that makes statistics open to everyone"). On the right are some action buttons saying "Go to dashboard" and "Start a new project" under a "Welcome" heading. This section has a dark background with light text.
The home screen for statscloud, showing a dashboard with 3 big action buttons ("New temporary project", "New saved project", and "New cloud project") with a list of projects below the heading "Projects saved in the cloud". The page has a dark background with light text.
The data view in StatsCloud with the 'Fisher Iris' data set loaded. A pop-up window is displayed showing a graph highlighting outliers and some input boxes to the right that change how outliers are detected (e.g., the "centre point", the "box", and "range"). The page has a dark background with light text.
An analysis output in StatsCloud. The main window shows a correlation table highlighting mainly significant correlations between the Fisher Iris variables. The page has a dark background with light text.
Hot on the heels of our latest update comes version 0.9.7.1, which includes some small bug fixes, improvements to calculated variables, and a nice new colour palette for dark mode ๐
