Doesn't Excel have 
enough statistical functions?

  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.

      David:
      I typed in NA as you suggested and the 
      system accepted my request. Now I'll have to wait ill next week o see if 
      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:
                 
                <A 
                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.
