Good statistical analysis packages... |
Hi,
Hope that you can help me here please - and humble apologies if I'm in
the wrong forum. I have to do a statistical analysis on a dataset.
Excel won't handle it (due to the fact that the maximum row count is is
65,536)
So my question is can you recommend any *free* packages out there that
can do more than 65,536? I need basic descriptive statistics to
advanced, the ability to graph and if possible the ability to map into
the Fourier domain (this would be nice)
Any recommendations/user experiences much appreciated, and, apologies
once again if I'm posting in the wrong place. (Note that I have a
degree in physics so you know what we like to see)
Al.

I knew a guy that liked Root. But it's so unfortunately named that I
don't know, off-hand, how you'll find it on Google through references of
square roots and root directories and so on.

I usually do that kind of stuff in Matlab, so I could recommend Octave as
a free tool. Basic stuff like mean and standard deviation is already
there, lots of graphing functions, but fancy stuff you'll need to program
yourself. Matlab has a statistics toolbox with the fancy stuff, but I
don't know if there's a free equivalent for Octave.
