I would appreciate any recommendations from the group for Software for a
research project I am begining. I am considering NCSS, Minitab and SPSS (and
maybe Stata). I am running Windows 98, using a home computer.
I need to be able to merge two fairly large datasets (totaling about 50,000
observations x 800 variables, but with ~3000 observations used for analysis
once merged), and perform a variety of statistical analyses, including
correllations, regressions, logistic regression, factor analysis and survival
analysis.
NCSS is the least expensive option ($300 academic price w/ electronic manuals),
Stata slightly more expensive, and SPSS much more expensive. The minitab site
doesn't give prices, but I expect it to be lower than SPSS.
Any help would be appreciated. Please email responses if you can!
