Statistical Software

Hi all,

I've got to do some anovas, learning curve calculations, and some other icky statistical stuff. Can you recommend any simple to learn statistical software I might use? Probably not command-line based, as I'm in a time crunch and don't have time to look up commands right now. But a complex gui doesn't help much either.

If I don't find anything, I'm going to have to ask my seniour labmate for help and he likes Windows stuff. :shock:

Re: Statistical Software

I'd say R because it seems to be possible to do any thing. However, you then set a condition that it should be cli-based.

Despite this, you could still try and and follow many of the tutorials, such as this one:

http://www.personality-project.org/r/r.guide.html which has specific sections on anovas.

Re: Statistical Software

I used to be able to do anovas on paper till they were coming out of my ears - the corner stone of industrial statistics!  Couldn't even tell you what one was for now!

Never tried it, but maybe:

Maple ($) always worked for any stuff I did, but it was just physics stats.

Re: Statistical Software

I've been playing with Windows software all day and its absoluetly broken.  I'm going to see how long it takes to get used to R and if I don't get it working I'll put it on dtw's desk again. Maybe I should just write some python scripts. Problem is, I don't even know how this stuff works in the background anymore.
