Could you please give advantages the major stat. systems
over others and strength and weakness of them.
Eg. could you compare SAS, S (S+), SPSS, Minitab, Statgraphics (plus),
Matlab, Maple, Mathematica?
----- End of forwarded message from Jan -----
Matlab, Maple, are Mathematica mathematics programs with some
stats. cabability. They are not very easy to learn. I would not use
them with beginners who are not mathematics majors.
Minitab is easy to use and there is a huge amount of documentation.
Many statistics textbooks in the US include info on Minitab.
I think SAS and S are not neraly as easy to use.
