Welcome to FRIDA central. This content management system is used to build up documentation of the FRIDA data analysis system. Source code will be released through sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/frida/).

FRIDA is software for scientific data analysis. Its data model is quite generic (data files consist of x-y-dy tables that are differentiated by z coordinates), so that it can be used for many different kinds of observational data. For instance, FRIDA has been used for the analysis of time series in the telecommunication industry, and it has helped to reveal blatant shortcomings in educational statistics (see publications using frida). The primary field of application of FRIDA is inelastic neutron scattering which is supported through many specialized routines. FRIDA is based on Joachim Wuttke’s IDA, which has been used since the early 1990s at important neutron research centers. The current relaunch is a joint effort of scientists from different institutes.

The first JCNS School on Data Analysis for Quasielastic Neutron Scattering with FRIDA will take place 28-29 April 2010 at Garching. Register now: http://www.jcns.info/DataAnalysis2010/
