STATISTICS RESOURCES

Software OpenStat http://www.statpages.org/miller/openstat/

The R project http://www.r-project.org/
R is a very comprehensive programming environment of data analysis and graphics - not for the novice but very powerful. A free 'clone' of the expensive and sophisticated S-Plus. RCmdr is a recent add-on to R. It greatly increases its usability by providing a 'Windows' front end to some, but not all, statistical routines. It is the easiest way to run a generalized linear model.
