- Statistical software for Mac - who can advise?
- We are searching for a good statistical software for Macintosh.
-
- Our criteria:
- - statistical quality
- - wide range of statistics, including multivariate and exploratory analysis
- - nice *and* theoretically correct graphic facilities
- - satisfying for a statistician
- - easy to use for empirical researchers,
- the system should have typical Mac-facilities
- - suitability for educational purposes,
- help-facilties as to statistical functions
- (statistics for medical post-graduate students)
-
- Two possible considered candidates are MacSYSTAT and STATISTICA.
-
- I have obtained a MacSYSTAT 5.3-version for a free trial and my first
- experiences are very positive as to the above mentioned criteria.
- A colleague asked me about STATISTICA, but I have no experience with it
- and it was not possible to obtain a demo version.
-
- I would be very glad for comments/advices from anybody, who has experience
- with SYSTAT and/or STATISTICA (and/or what else) on MacIntosh.
-
- Thanks in advance !
