G’day, Apologies for being slightly off-topic. I’d
like a recommendations of a free, basic, statistical analysis software package. I’ve Googled “free stats
software” and found quite a few sites that list multiple candidate
packages (and I’m looking at a few of them) but I thought it would be
useful to get the opinion of people that might be using something good, and
using it with MapInfo. This is for situations when the number of records
exceeds the capabilities of Excel. As an example of the type of very basic
descriptive stats I want to do, I have a table that results from a positional
change-detection query in MapInfo that has resulted in a table with about 150
thousand records that shows how much an address point has moved between two
releases of an address database. The distances vary between sub-millimetre
to several hundred kilometres. One of the first things I want to do is create
a range of bin sizes. For a select few of these I may want to
produce a histogram or two, or a box plot. I’m not looking for an integrated
solution. This would only be used for ad hoc data exploration, not as part of
an application, If you’ve use a bit of stats
software that sound like what I’m talking about, then I’d like to
here about it. Meanwhile, I’ll get back to reading
the “R” manuals. Regards Michael Michael Zatorsky Interfaces,
