Hi Rohit: Thanks a million for the reply. I specifically needed a copy of the Stata. As I indicated in the mail, I am teaching the group how to do time series analysis using R for statistical computing. To my mind, R offers much much better statistical programming environment than any of the closed source commercial statistical packages available in the market in terms of usage, graphics etc... . The point here was that a group of co-faculty members from Harvard and Berkeley wanted to see the performance of Stata vis a vis R and for that I needed a copy of the software (since I do not use Stata at all).
Thanks anyway for the tip on Kyplot. Will check it out. Kind regards, /Arin --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Dear Arindam: > > Inspite of the <WARNING> i could not resist writing > this mail.
