- While it is difficult to evaluate, SYSTAT has made public claims that
- STATISTICA has used reverse engineering to make some of its products and
- has a public document that rails on about STATISTICA's algorithms,
- errors in analysis, etc. I have no set opinion about any of these
- allegations, but a quick call to each of STATISTICA and SYSTAT will
- get you a couple of large envelopes of arguments.
-
- One concern that seems persistent is the lack of identifiable
- STATISTICIANS on the staff.
