Sorry for the multiple quotes above. This is the earliest message in this thread which I haven't deleted! The other day I installed what appears to be an esp. good stats package. I only did it for its graphics, but there is much else to it. The package is called `R'. I prefer not to do this but their docs give a pretty good summary of what its capable of : \begin{quote} R is an integrated suite of software facilities for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display. Among other things it has * an effective data handling and storage facility, * a suite of operators for calculations on arrays, in particular matrices, * a large, coherent, integrated collection of intermediate tools for data analysis, =20 * graphical facilities for data analysis and display either directly at the computer or on hardcopy, and * a well developed, simple and effective programming language which includes conditionals, loops, user defined recursive functions and input and output facilities. \end{quote} The suite compiles without issue and is available for free download from: http://www.R-project.org/=20 I hope this is useful.
