Add Statistics Functions?

Open hawkerm opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

Problem Statement Missing functions like 'Combinations' and 'Permutations' for statistics.

Evidence or User Insights Functions available usually with advanced calculators.

Proposal Add a Statistics drop-down which provides the following functions:

Goals User can calculate things nCr and nPr with two values.

Requested Assignment I'm just suggesting this idea. I don't want to implement it.

This is your friendly Microsoft Issue Bot. I've seen this issue come in and have gone to tell a human about it.

I am generally not in favour of dropdowns. For example, we have to click 4-5 times in order to use arcsinh().

This pitch looks like it has everything it needs for review. In the meantime, we'll keep this idea open for discussion so the community has the chance to provide feedback. Check out our New Feedback Process for more info on the user-centered process we follow for new feature development.

Yeah @Rahul-Dixit agree, but suggested it as a starting point as it fits the existing UX of how Calculator works today.

Is there another general issue open about your concern on the number of clicks to access certain features? Or one about setting up custom layouts of functions (for folks that want to use some more than others)?

No, as per my knowledge.

Adding NCR option to the windows calculator will be very useful for many.
