Coding started on Q. The goal of the product was as a replacement for SPSS, with the specific objectives of:
- Automating standard data analysis tasks, so that researchers could perform routine work without needing to use syntax (e.g., top two boxes, share of wallet, updating trackers).
- Automating the use of modern statistical tests on tables (e.g., multiple comparison corrections, appropriate treatment of weights).
- Using state-of-the-art analysis methods for routine data analysis problems (e.g., mixed generalized logit models, latent class analysis).
- Creating a product that could be used with minimal training.
