Use of a Rule Tool in Data Analysis Decision Making

Abstract

Without any doubt, research work is an integrate part of any educational pursuit. However, students engaging in researches often find it difficult to choose an appropriate statistical analysis instrument for their selected data. This paper presents Research Statistical Analysis – Expert (RSA-Expert) which can be employed in selecting appropriate statistical instrument for a desired purpose. The Visirule software was used as a decision supporting tool, in which the rules are basically and precisely presented using Logic Programming Model. The RSA-Expert discussed in this work can be of great use to researchers in making a firm decision in utilizing suitable statistical data analysis in researches.
