Statistical Software Survey

The information in this survey was provided by the vendors in response to a questionnaire developed by James J. Swain. The survey should not be considered as comprehensive, but rather as a representation of available statistical packages. Questionnaires were sent to vendors drawn from previous survey participants, the OR/MS Today database and other sources. It includes the products of those vendors who responded by the deadline. If you know of a statistical package that is not in this survey, please contact Patton McGinley at (770) 431-0867, ext. 214 or e-mail them to [email protected]. They will be included in an online version.
Be sure to read the accompanying article.
