Confidence interval not working in Descriptive Statistics tool
Last modified: 2009-10-01 10:55:14 UTC
Created attachment 144394 [details] example screenshot On Descriptive Statistics, if checking the "Confidence interval for the Mean", whatever the value I insert for (1-alpha) the OK button remain gray with the message: "The confidence level should be between 0 and 1". The only way to proceed is to uncheck this option and to add the CONFIDENCE calculation manually. Also the arrow-button to increase the value is active but not working. I reproduced the bug on 4 different pc with Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distributions. I've tried also under different system languages in order to check if the problem is related with . and , separator convention, but without changes in the result. Thank you
Since this is a spinbutton issue, I suspect that it is due to the friendly GTK ABI change. Please do not use an ancient Gnumeric with a recent GTK. If you upgrade to a recent Gnumeric, such as 1.9.13 things should work. Alternatively you could possibly fix it with some appropriate surgery in a glade file. Please let me know if you are up to that and I can figure out what needs to be changed.
To fix this on your installation you need to find descriptive-stats.glade and in it the section: <widget class="GtkSpinButton" id="c_entry"> <property name="visible">True</property> <property name="can_focus">True</property> <property name="climb_rate">0.01</property> <property name="digits">3</property> <property name="numeric">False</property> <property name="update_policy">GTK_UPDATE_ALWAYS</property> <property name="snap_to_ticks">False</property> <property name="wrap">False</property> <property name="adjustment">0.05 0 1 0.01 10 0</property> </widget> The important change is in the "adjustment" line. You probably do not have a 0 in last position. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 580930 ***
It works! Thank you very much.
