For this, you form a paper evaluating a minimum of three tools that can be used for statistical analysis and reporting.

Your evaluation should include the following:

• Open source tools (e.g., Python, R, Octave, QGIS) and commercial software (e.g., SPSS, SAS, Tableau, ArcGIS).
• Discussion of the characteristics of each tool with a focus on how they could be used.
• Analysis of the trade-offs between the tools.
• Infographics serve as visual aids where information is presented in a way that makes it easily discernable. You can conduct a quick internet search to find examples of infographics, or you can view an example provided under this week's Weekly Resources and Assignments area.
• Conclusion with tool recommendations.
