Has anyone out there had any experiences with heavy-duty, industrial strength statistics packages for the Macintosh? I'm looking for something which will hand a data set of 500 variables w/600 observations each, and do two-stage and three-stage least squares on them. Email responses to me and I will summarize and post. Thanks. --Paul Try also: ps01@gte-labs.CSnet as an address.

You might want to look at RATS. It is a time series package that is certainly heavy duty. Does some cross-sectional stuff, but if that is your interest you probably can do better. RATS is essentially an old mainframe program that got new life with the PC. They have just come out with a Mac version. I use the PC version so I can't tell you much about the MAC version. I have doubts about whether the interface is up to usual Mac standards, but the statistics are first rate. You can get RATS from VAR associaties in Evanston, IL. Good luck. Neal Beck Dept. of Pol.
