Statistical computing covers the use of statistics and supported statistical
packages on all of Computing Services's public systems, including the UNIX,
Macintosh, and Windows platforms.
Supported packages include SAS, SPSS, and Stata. Support not only
includes accessing and installing these packages, but also includes support on
the basics, writing code, and choosing appropriate analyses. In addition, we
can help you with transferring data between applications or platforms.
Some statistical software is available on Research Computing's UNIX
hosts; Research Computing accounts are
required for these systems. There is also a variety of statistical applications
available for the desktop. Many of them can be downloaded and installed from
the Software
Downloads Web page.
