RE: Free Statistics Packages

["Nicholas Kormanik" <nkormanik@xxxxxxxxx>]

That statistics package 
isn't all that easy to use.  It's sort of funny that it's intended for 
Third-World countries --- it's more suited for Stanford-types.  I 
downloaded it and played with it a bit, and returned to it later to play some 
more.  But I think there are likely many other stats packages that one 
would get a lot further with more quickly.  My primary stats package and 
spreadsheet program is Minitab --- it does almost everything that I 
want.

  Mine request took a couple of days. The manual is over 400 pages long so 
  don't expect to become familiar with it in 5 minutes. however, thus far quite 
  impressed with the time series analysis etc.

    they will let me have the program.
     
    Thanks for your suggestion.

      In my eyes you are - joke! Not sure what you typed in - suggest you 
      type NA as in not applicable.

        They wouldn't accept my registration 
        as I am not an institution.
        any suggestions?

            I couldn't find the price.  
            How much is it?

              I used to be a Statistica user, but somehow have lost the 
              disks and an upgrade is v. expensive.  Anyway, I found this 
              link:

              href="http://www.unesco.org/webworld/idams/";>http://www.unesco.org/webworld/idams/
               
              For those looking for a comprehensive package, this looks to 
              be good.
