Abstract: | The World Wide Web (WWW) represents a powerful tool for furthering the development and practice of statistics. The GASP (Globally Accessible Statistical Procedures) WWW site has been set up as a primary listing of statistical procedures which can be used over the WWW. This article highlights several possible approaches for making a procedure WWW accessible. These approaches effectively solve many of the problems typically encountered when using a new statistical procedure. Applying the methods discussed, any statistical technique can be made available to anyone with a forms- or Java-capable WWW browser. Procedures can be delivered in a virtually platform-independent manner with only minimal requirements on a user's hardware or software. |
