The first website statistics station called TKU-Stat was successfully launched by the Department of Statistics, TKU. Besides offering software free of charge to "needy" students, this is also the first station, nationally speaking, that combines statistics and computation together, as well as carrying an extra function of calculating statistics and rate together on-line.

From now on, a student, wherever he or she may be, he/she can get to compute rate and statistics, provided that there is access to the networks. Usually, while in the past, a student could only enjoy that kind of privilege in the multi-media computer room of the Business & Management Building, and his/her exercising area was confined to the TKU campus. Now, he/she may feel as free as a bird because he/she can practice this skill at home, or in the home away from home.

This innovative "breakthrough" system was developed by Associate Professor Dr. Chen Ching-hsiang, Department of Statistics, who has successfully remodeled the old statistics system and made it over into what we would call "Statistics Everywhere" today.

The multi-functions of this station include Basic Statistics method (Elementary Statistics), Advanced Statistics (Practical Statistics) and rate-related computation. In addition to that, student users can enter or upload volumes of information inside the station for it to do analysis. In the meantime, a great many samples are available at the station for students to use as reference.

Tamkang Times also learned that the medium will be adjusted so the visually handicapped students can also use this station without feeling impeded.

According to Prof. Wu Jong-wuu, Chair, Department of Statistics, this station was devised solely to benefit the "needy" students. Given the expensive school fees and the costly price of software, they are unable to afford the GPI statistics, or mathematics computation formula, or "Free Domain" available at this station. Now they can.
