Company Info

Jiku is an open-source software company specializing in the advanced statistical analysis of continuum data.

Jiku's core software has been in development for 18 years, supported by public and private research grants, representing hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific publications .

Our main products are Jiku Core and Jiku UI (both in development). Our first fully released app is Jiku Power1D.

Jiku is dedicated to developing, curating and maintaining open-source software tools for the advanced analysis of continuum data.



Key benefits:

  • Analyze complex continuum data quickly, objectively and in a statistically robust manner.
  • Increase research efficiency and maximize objectivity.
