Yes, 'brushing'
is not all that unique. My Minitab does that just fine. But the
added 'masking' is the cool one --- the right cross after the jab.
Minitab doesn't do that. Minitab allows you to brush then code an *added*
column in your worksheet, then you can go and delete, and then return to
graphics mode, and re-graph. HOWEVER, that little WinIDAMS stats program
re-does all the graphs **immediately**, with one press of the 'mask'
button.

And, incidentally, the
graphics module can act as a stand-alone graphics module --- there's
an .exe just for it.

Brushing plots
are hardly unique, Nicholas.

In this particular
case I'm pointing out that 'tuning the data' is 'virtual' --- you don't
actually do *anything* to the data set, you merely kick off various data
points from the graphs. All the graphs change *as if* the data were
removed. That's why this graphing tool is so cool and unique.
However, there is no way of subsequently saving the thoroughly 'fine-tuned'
data.

So, 'face-to-face'
with the graphs, you can change things. But the result is ephemeral, a
facade, a temporary expression.

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.

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.

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.
