One feature of
that stats package I ended up liking is the 'matrix' graphing, and the
'brushing' and then 'masking' of 'outliers.' It's a very unique and useful
tool. The only major problem is that once you spend all the time masking
and fine-tuning your data vis-a-vis the graphs, ****you can't save**** the mask
list --- when you quit that graphics module, you've tumbled the entire house of
cards, and if you want to see it again you have to start over from the
beginning.

Doesn't Excel have enough

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.

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

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

For those looking for a comprehensive package, this looks
to be good.
