Statistical Programming Languages
Many computer programs specialize in performing statistical computations: SAS, R, SPSS, and Minitab among others.
The R statistical program is freely available as a download from the internet, and many statistical researchers make the R-code that computes new methods available on the web as an appendix to a paper or in freely available web site.
Since the SAS program is currently the most widely used in pharmaceutical companies and financial institutions, I recommend that you learn it. SPSS is widely used among social scientists and market researchers. It is most used in an interactive analysis environment (researcher requests analysis, and program computes results immediately). My experience is that its interactive pull-down menu is vastly superior to that of SAS.
Minitab is widely used in teaching of statistics but is not often used in business. It has extremely good software. Matlab also has good software. The Excel spreadsheet program can perform many statistical calculations and should become a strong competitor to SAS in the future. You may need to obtain statistical functions from a download from Microsoft. It is not currently competitive with the other statistical packages for multiple linear regression calculations. Some students using Python got incorrect results.
SAS is only available through the Virtual SINC site. The software listed below can be downloaded through the university IT support web page: https://it.stonybrook.edu/services/software-catalog/browse.
