I agree - Not only was my post unclear, but I'm unclear about what I want too. :-) My data, in reality, consists national statistics - and my self-appointed challenge is to establish if, subject to appropriate analysis, they will expose undocumented trends or other anomalies. I don't know what trends or anomalies I want to find until I discover them... but I suspect that, once found, they'd be interesting. :-) > 'exi octave' reveals: Octave is a good suggestion - but probably not what I need. I've been pointed at "R" ( http://www.r-project.org/ ) which looks more hopeful, though I can't find it in portage. If there were an interactive GUI to apply standard statistical analyses to data as a front-end to R, then that would likely be just what I want. Failing that - just finding R in portage would be a step forwards. I'd be very interested to know if R has competition... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
