I did this modeling with the help of IIM - Ahmedabad MBA student and Loyola Institute of Business Administration(LIBA) - Chennai faculty. I would like to recommend you GNU R for statistical computing, conducting statistical analyses and graphics. R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation’s GNU General Public License in source code form. R is powerful and highly developed (and very similar in syntax to S-Plus). The originators of R are R.Gentleman and R.Ihaca from New Zealand, and the R home page is at : http://www.r-project.org/ R is now the most widely used statistical package/language in university statistics departments and many research organizations. Its great advantages are that for many years, it has been the leading statistical package/language and that it can be freely downloaded from the R website. Here is a collection of document link about R : http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html Thanks & Rg Mohan L _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
