Software Products:

Stata is my first choice of statistical software. It is far easier to use than other stats packages, and nearly every type of statistical application is available.  In addition, there is a large community of indivudals who contribute user-written programs that can be used within the Stata application, when an offical command is not available. www.stata.com

Forecast Pro is a the leading forecasting software for professionals in sales, marketing, finance and manufacturing. Analyses that used to take me hours, can now be performed in minutes. However, a fundamental understanding of time-series analysis is still needed to interpret the results. www.ForecastPro.com
