TRB Committee ABJ80:-  Statistical Software Resource

ABJ80 assembled the following table to assist with the selection of a statistical software package.  Clicking on an underlined package name opens a new page with comments supplied by transportation professionals and a link to the home page for that software.  Clicking on other package names opens the homepage for that software.  To send comments, recommend additional packages, or report outdated links please contact Ida van Schalkwyk at webmaster@trbstats.org Please Note:  The following list is provided as a service to the transportation industry by TRB Committee ABJ80.  It should in no way be construed as a recommendation by the Transportation Research Board or Committee A5011 to purchase any particular product.
