A compendium of existing econometric software packages
نویسنده
چکیده
This compendium of existing econometric software packages is intended to be a full census of all existing packages of this type that are publicly available and used by economists today. It is intended to provide the developer’s view of each package: in all but a few instances, the person providing each entry is the primary author or current principal developer of the package. These program descriptions generally provide both a development history and a statement of current capabilities. Most entries also include references to more detailed descriptions, including manuals and other publications, as well as providing a website URL.

متن کاملThe Numerical Reliability of Econometric Software
A FROM COST considerations, economists generally choose their software by its user-friendliness or for specialized features. They rarely worry whether the answer provided by the software is correct (i.e., whether the software is reliable). The economist, whose degree is not in computer science, can hardly be faulted for this: is it not the job of the software developer to ensure reliability? Ca...
متن کاملWilkinson’s tests and econometric software
The Wilkinson Tests, entry-level tests for assessing the numerical accuracy of statistical computations, have been applied to statistical software packages. Some software developers, having failed these tests, have corrected deficiencies in subsequent versions. Thus these tests have had a meliorative impact on the state of statistical software. These same tests are applied to several econometri...
متن کاملA framework for statistical software development, maintenance, and publishing within an open-access business model
There are several fundamental problems with statistical software development in the academic community. In addition, the development and dissemination of academic software will become increasingly difficult due to a variety of reasons. To solve these problems, a new framework for statistical software development, maintenance, and publishing is proposed: it is based on the paradigm that academic...
متن کاملTechnical Report on Distributed Collaborative Applications for Econometrics
The objective of the technical report is to reflect on the development process of econometric software. Consequently, we will present a software application that has the role of determining the coefficients of a linear model, based on the ordinary least squares regression analysis technique. We will be focused both of the following directions, technical computer science related perspective and ...
