Artefact-Features Analysis Tool v1.0 (AFAT1)

This software tool has been developed by Dr. Hussein Mohammed as a part of sub-project RFA05: Pattern Recognition in 2D Data from Digitised Images and Advanced Aquisition Techniques.

The main goal of this software tool is to analyse artefact features in order to extract some statistical information such as the mean, standard deviation and outliers. The main tasks achieved by this software tool are:

• Calculating individual statistics for each entry in the table
• Calculating general statistics for each table as a whole
• Calculating distances between different tables
