This may have already been discussed but there is web site from the National Institute of Standards that gives datasets for comparing the accuracy of statistics packages. In some cases even SAS did not do well. The URL is www.nist.gov/itl/div898/strd/ Mark Eakin Associate Professor

I am trying to determine the transform from log odds to the original scale. Assuming that I have x such that lo(x) is ~N(m,s^2) where lo(x) = ln[x/(1-x)], is there a closed form to calculate the moments on x given m and s? George Scott
