Data Desk is a computer program for data analysis, graphics, and statistics.
Data Desk was developed in 1985 by Paul Velleman, a statistics professor at Cornell University who had studied Exploratory Data Analysis with John Tukey. Data Desk was released in 1986 for the Macintosh. It provided most standard statistical methods accessed through its own desktop interface. Data Desk pioneered linked graphic displays including a 3-D rotating plot, and graphical slider control of parameters.
In 1997, Data Desk was released for Windows, and included a General Linear Model (GLM), multivariate statistics, and nonlinear curve fitting.
