[comp.sources.wanted] Statistical software wanted

molla@cs.hw.ac.uk (Shaheen Molla) (08/22/88)

Request for statistical software source code in C or Pascal

If anyone has any statistical software which they know is
"public domain" or have some of their own which they are willing to give
please send or contact me at the mailing address below.

Simple commonly used statistics would be best.  Something in the vein
of MINITAB would do quite well.

It is intended that any suitable software will be converted for use 
with a spreadsheet program which is to be made freely available at source code
and executable file level.  It is currently being adapted from Unix to PC using
Turbo C, with plans to port to the Atari ST in the very near future.

The only freely available statistics software I have seen is UnixStat
by Gary Perlman. Since I am not acquainted with MINITAB (which I
gather is commercial software) I can't offer any comparison.

I have a fairly old tape of UnixStat; does anyone know what the
latest version is?

A multivariate statistical package written in C and running under UNIX and
MS-DOS is Gary Perlman's |STAT package, now in v 5.3 (I think).  My
understanding of the license is that I can send copies to requestors
but cannot duplicate the manuals (not a problem, it has man pages).

|STAT5 provides a wide range of statistical routines, including regression,
ANOVA, simple time series, data manipulation, etc.  Sources total about
1MB.  I have a copy of Gary's current e-mail address at another site; if
you want it, send me mail.

UCBerkeley has another one that is more expensive ($500 to academic sites,
more to others) and someone at Caltech wrote a regression package that
was written in C (sorry, name escapes me). SHAZAM, from White at the 
University of British Columbia Eco Department, used by many econometrics
grad courses, is written in FORTRAN but a UNIX version is available.  It
costs about the same as the UCB package.
