Hello,
I've got a client who is looking for a DOS- and/or WINDOWS-based package with
the capability of performing multiple regression. He wants to incorporate the
multiple regression part into software he is developing, so he'd like a package
that has an up-front fee with license to freely distribute any code from it that
you include in your own package.
He has a copy of something called ProMath 2.0 from a company called Tera Tech, which
is a set of macros (written in Fortran) to do mathematical and simple statistical
computations. (I think he said that it costs about $100). This would be exactly what he
wants, except that it only performs simple regression (although it does do matrix
manipulation, so it wouldn't be too hard to program multiple regression using the
(numerically naive?) method of inv(X'X)X'Y).
One person suggested MicroSoft IMSL libraries and also the NAG libraries. The problem
with using these is that it's really overkill (price-wise) for what my client
wants. MS Fortran 5.1 is about $170 and the corresponding IMSL libraries are
about $470.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks for your time!
