Last week a new release of AWork (version 2.0) was submitted to Google Play  (see the AWork link). Finally it supports Android 8+ devices with high resolution screens. AWork is a complete programming environment for Android devices that can execute standard Java syntax and extends it with scripting conveniences of BeanShell. At the same time, it allows to use scientific Java libraries to perform complex mathematical and statistical calculations with scientific graphs. In addition, it can be used to execute Matlab/Octave style- programs.

Remaining issues: (1) No syntax highlighting (2) No category plots

Here is a simple example: We will create a Gamma distribution, fill a histograms, and calculate (and pint) basic descriptive statistics of the Gamma distribution. We will use the BeanShell syntax to write the code.

import jhplot.*;
import java.util.Random;
import cern.jet.random.engine.*;
import cern.jet.random.*;
import jhplot.math.StatisticSample;

h=new H1D(“test1”,50,0,10);
engine=new MersenneTwister();
Events=5000;
r=new Gamma(1,0.5,engine);
for (i=0; i<Events; i++)  h.fill(r.nextDouble());
print(h.getStat()); // print statistics of this histogram
c=new HChart();
c.add(h);
c.update();

This code will show a zoom-able histogram with data.

Here is another example. We will create 1000 numbers distributed using a Log-normal distribution and look at descriptive statistics of this distribution:

import jhplot.*;
import jhplot.math.StatisticSample;
a=StatisticSample.randomLogNormal(1000,0,10);
p0=new P0D(a); // convert to an array
print (p0.getStatString()); // detailed characteristics

The output is:

Wow. That’s a lot of characteristics of this distribution  (too many to print!). Look at this project and make use of it for your statistical calculations!
