I'm familiar with Matlab... you're the second person to mention |
| 6 |
Octave... |

I agree - Not only was my post unclear, but I'm unclear about what I |
| 18 |
want too. :-) |

My data, in reality, consists national statistics - and my |
| 21 |
self-appointed challenge is to establish if, subject to appropriate |
| 22 |
analysis, they will expose undocumented trends or other anomalies. I |
| 23 |
don't know what trends or anomalies I want to find until I discover |
| 24 |
them... but I suspect that, once found, they'd be interesting. :-) |

Octave is a good suggestion - but probably not what I need. I've been |
| 29 |
pointed at "R" ( http://www.r-project.org/ ) which looks more hopeful, |
| 30 |
though I can't find it in portage. If there were an interactive GUI to |
| 31 |
apply standard statistical analyses to data as a front-end to R, then |
| 32 |
that would likely be just what I want. Failing that - just finding R |
| 33 |
in portage would be a step forwards. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'd be very interested to know if R has competition... |
