It would be nice if we could collect knowledge and comments for of the shelf software appropriate for implementation of standard as well as advanced statistical mathematical and operational research models

There is a very detailed document comparing the performance of most popular packages (Mathematica, Matlab, Maple, Gauss, etc.), available at http://www.scientificweb.com/ncrunch/

Cheers mateBut except that my objective is to collect contributions of experience and knowedge from working on those types of software as well as their functionality. You could call it a tool box library.For example can anyone tell me how can i run Hansen's Generalised Method of Moments methodology? Or Johansen's cointegration? Can you propose any software for the above? Any problems with this tool?I hope you got the hint.RegardsAnthis

Using these packages you can easilyto code any cointegration and other algorithms. However, if you want more specific answer, give me please a reference on the methods you are looking forBriefly speaking:Matlab & Mathematica: universal if you have corresponding toolbox, butrather expenisiveS+(Splus) is more less the same but has more acsent on statistics and related things. Probably, there you can find exactly what you wantScilab is a free clone Matlab. Very nice and powerful, absolutely freebut the number of toolboxes still is much less than in Matlab.If you take scilab I could help you.Scilably yoursSasha

Sure, it is not completely objective but reflects the general situation.If you have an infinite budget I'd take Matlab. Over free soft I'd take Scilab. In symbolic math. Mathematica is the best.

E-VIEWS software can do both. The cost is about $1000 US dollar.

hi all,

can anyone recommend a mathematics tutorial software package? undergrad level mathematics. there doesn't seem to be a lot around.
