Software


          This page will provide access to various publicly available software packages related to statistics. Included will be links to commercial firms that provide trial versions of their software, and links that provide a description of packages that are available on most campuses via site license. For those that don't know, campus licenses for commercial products usually go for a fraction of the retail price. These licenses generally expire after a year.

          Note: As a student, there is very little reason for you to go out and buy a statistics package. It will not help you in your course. I've included these links to make you aware of what is available. It is likely that some of you will continue with research, and as such may be required to perform data analyses.


        • corr.zip This PC package demonstrates a number of statistical principles. You will need to create a directory on your computer, then extract the downloaded archive. Highly Recommended
        • Simstat . Although not free, the distributors of this package provide a fully functional trial version for 30 or 60 days. If I remember correctly, this programme was similar to SPSS, for what it offers.
