For those of you who aren't alrady familiar with it, you might look into XLStat by Addinsoft. It functions more or less as an add-in to Excel, but it performs like any advanced stats application (and better than some of the more traditional options). The nice thing is that if you're already a heavy user of Excel, you don't need go through the regular efforts to import and export data that you manipulate in Excel to runs your analysis in XLStat. At Emory, we have several classes in which we now teach professionals on its use. It's nice to finally have something that doesn't give up the sophistication of apps like SAS and SPSS, but is actually USER FRIENDLY ! :cool:

sophistication of SPSS?? :confused:

Sorry, but I think I've tried this and I wasn't exactly bowled over - I'd rather use a desktop stats package like Minitab or SPSS.

And anyway, please sell your stuff somewhere else....you might want to help out some of the question posters for a while before you start posting info on web pages that contain links to your books.

XLStat is not my number 1 package, I work with JMP and Stata, but I have to admit that I did work with it a bit, and it's the best software in the market for running PLS Path Models. The only thing that I miss there, is the option to add the models as a matrix or equation, not only graphically.
