Does anyone know of cheap commercial (<100 US$) or shareware/freeware statistics applications that would run on an SE? I know that StatView exists, but I haven't seen a review of it anywhere. I am jealous of the I*M-pc'ers who have access to the FREE student version of STATA. I am looking for similar functionality at a not-too-unreasonable price. (This from someone who paid nearly 3K $ for an SE+IWII; ack!). Thanks for any help or advice you can give. Geoff

You're in luck. The people who make SYSTAT for the Mac/PC/etc have a "personal" version of SYSTAT for some measly-odd $5, called "MYSTAT". It doesn't have all the bells and whistles (of course), but it has all the simple regression stuff, ANOVA, etc. that most students will use. As for Statview, it's a good program -- even the older version which existed around the time of the 512... It's cheaper, but it offers most of the functionality you'd use. I do not claim to know anything about statistical analysis, but I'm basically repeating what my father (who teaches a class on statistics using the Mac) has told me. (He uses StatView in his classes... But a mainframe for his real research...) Benjamin Kuo
