Summary

Here is a summary paragraph covering the key points: Precog for MongoDB is a free data science platform that bundles advanced analytics and statistics capabilities into a single package, making it easy to analyze data programmatically or interactively with Labcoat, an HTML5 application. MongoDB's native support for JSON and basic query framework make it an ideal choice for Precog, which eliminates the need to export data or write custom code for advanced analytics. The platform provides a cloud-hosted version as well as a standalone version that can be deployed on existing MongoDB databases. To use Precog, users need to configure settings such as server location and master account API key, then launch the application, access its REST API, and explore their data with Labcoat or develop Quirrel queries. The platform is still in beta, but it offers a powerful tool for data analysis and statistics on MongoDB databases.
