Abstract

Search and evaluation costs have limited dissemination of powerful statistical packages now available for four popular microcomputer operating systems. A three-phase investigation identified 184 statistical analysis packages, selected 30 of the more comprehensive for further investigation, and carried out detailed evaluation of six packages.
