Marketplace

Marketplace is one of the most popular feature of BioStat Prime as it enables the user to customise the application as per requirements and expands its functionality.

Marketplace is a free store for adding R libraries and functions to BioStat Prime to newer areas of statistics.

It Installs or hides R functions and packages. User can install various new libraries and dialogs like Agreement, Model Fitting, Sample Size and the associated libraries with them.

Model

Can load R objects saved in the current or any earlier format. R Model objects saved to the file selected will be loaded. ALL R objects saved to the selected file will be loaded. If objects with the same name exist in the R global environment, they will be overwritten. A message confirming the models built with the application that were loaded will be displayed. User has to click the execute button (the horizontal triangle button) to load R objects saved to the selected file.

Save Model

Models selected will be saved to a file in the R data format (.RData extension) User can specify a new file by entering a name or selecting an existing file If user selects an existing file, it will be overwritten. User has to click the execute button (the horizontal triangle button) to run the dialog and save the objects to a file.

Rerun Analysis

User can save the analysis steps in a .bmd file which other users can load it into BioStat Prime and run the same analysis steps on different datasets through the mapping of datasets as shown below. An organization can standardize analysis steps for a dataset or a set of datasets.

Rerun or reproduce analysis in an output tab by swapping original dataset(s) with new dataset(s).

Open Project

Projects offer a transparent and complete snapshot of your workflow, supporting reproducible research and analysis. Open Project loads a previously saved project to continue analysis or review prior results. But before opening a new projects it asks user if they want to save the previous work or not by showing the save dialog box.

Save Project

Saves the project in the desired location. Before user opens or switches to another project (or exit the application) user should save current work to a named project if it is 'NEW' or update the existing named project with the changes.

SaveAs Project

SaveAs Project aims to create a new folder or save an existing file to a new location with the same name or a different title.

Remove Project

The projects opened or saved are stored in the dropdown list. Removes option removes the project from the dropdown.
