I apologize in advance as i am sure this is a FAQ, but i don't normally read
this group.  Can someone suggest a good statistics package for the Mac?

We are looking for ANOVA, paired and multi way comparisons, T tests, repeated
measures, and things like that.  (I apologize if these terms are incorrect,
I'm asking for things that *other people* are asking me for.)

I have gotten suggestions of Statistica, and Statview.  Any reviews?  Any
other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Glen

Have you heard of XlispStat ?  One thing nice about
it is that it is free and that there are versions of
which run under DOS and UNIX.  You should be able
to get it at the ftp sight "umnstat.stat.umn.edu". 
Last summer I took a course called "Financial Data Analysis" 
where the students were split into groups and each 
had to make a presentation about available statistical
software .  Two groups discussed the XlispStat package
running on the MAC.  Based on their presentations,
I was impressed by the "Data Movie" application, the
overall graphics (e.g. you could get a 3/D plot and 
spin it around in any direction), and the ease of use 
of the package.  There was one built in feature,
I don't recall precisely what they was - perhaps an
CART application- which made the instructor really like
it. Documentation is pretty good since a Wiley text
explains it all.  Obviously, if you already know LISP, you
can use the software to enhance what you write. 

BTW, all that standard stuff for ANOVA , regression, and t 
statistics is in there too.
