#Xlstat regression for free

I donвЂ™t know if Reinhart and Rogoff read this blog but there must be some Excel users in the audience, right? So many people use Excel that an improvement here could have a huge effect on good statistical practice. but I bet that some of you can! Please share your thoughts. I donвЂ™t know Excel at all so I canвЂ™t take it for a test drive.

Please take it for a test drive and see for yourself.

#Xlstat regression for free

My frustration with the stone-age graphics output of the leading regression software was the original motivation for its development, and I am now offering it for free as a public service. It also has a number of unique features that are designed to facilitate data exploration and model testing and to support a disciplined and well-documented approach to analysis, with an emphasis on data visualization. If I do say so myself, its default regression output is more thoughtfully designed and includes higher quality graphics than what is provided by the best-known statistical programming languages or by commercial Excel add-ins such as Analyse-it, XLstat, or StatTools.

It has been available to the public since May 2014, and a new version has just been released. I originally developed it for teaching an advanced MBA elective course on regression and time series analysis at Duke University, but it is intended for teaching data analysis at any level where students are familiar with Excel (and use it on PCвЂ™s), and it is also intended for serious applied work as a complement to other analytical software. I know you are not particularly fond of Excel, but you might (I hope) be interested in a free Excel add-in for multivariate data analysis and linear regression that I am distributing here.
