VSP Design Philosophy

VSP design philosophy is premised on four values. The four values are portability, simplicity, robustness, and inclusiveness.

1. Portability

Portability ensures that the software can be deployed and used on any of the three major operating systems viz Windows, macOS, and Linux, as all issues of compatibility and command structuring have been resolved at the design and coding stage.

2. Simplicity

Simplicity assures the VSP user friendliness because:

i) It is implemented with menu driven options without the need for users to learn intricate commands to define functions and processing parameters and or input data structure.

ii) It is a GUI interface enhanced with input forms on simple dialog boxes.

iii) The dataset method adopted is the MS Excel spreadsheet because of its general ease of use and understanding and owing to its ubiquitous nature.

iv) The package adopts simple text files for the storage of outputs because text files can be ported easily across all OS platforms; and

v) Where necessary, graphical illustrations accompany the numerical outputs.

3. Robustness

Robustness ensures that data are handled, processed, and analyzed with the highest level of accuracy reminiscent of the powerful Python processing ability integrating the most advanced data analytics methods and error indicators such as the eigenvalues, AIC, BIC, and Log Likelihood estimations

4. Inclusiveness

Inclusiveness ensures that all aspects of the results needed for a particular analysis are included for the users to choose the most relevant to their analytical needs. In addition, this package provides the crucial link between data analysis and real-life business applications
