Cheryl makes a good point: the "right" package depends on what the user wants
to do. MINITAB might be a good choice -- or SPSS, or any of dozens of others.
Is the application area psychology? Biology? Economics? Meteorology?
Demography? Chemistry? Do we need regression? Cross-tabs? Time series?
Design of Experiments?
The original question can't have a general answer that's correct for
everyone. If the original poster could provide a little more information about
needs, we could be a lot more helpful.
