Software
Statistical Add-Ins for Excel NAGs add-ins are functions, not macros, so your results are updated automatically when data are revised. There are more than 50 statistical algorithms in this package. The algorithms are organized into four books: basic statistics, multivariate methods, time series analyses, and analysis of variance and generalized linear models. http://www.nag.com/ http://www.nag.co.uk/ Numerical Algorithms Group, Inc. 1400 Opus Place, Suite 200 Downers Grove, Illinois 60515-5702 ESIM Monte Carlo Simulation for Microsoft Excel 2000 This download supports Excel 97 and Excel 2000. Support for earlier versions is available. Monte Carlo methods generate thousands of random inputs while tracking the range of uncertain outputs. Results are displayed graphically with histograms and cumulative distributions. Two chapters from Dr. Sam Savages book are included for a tutorial guide. Example files are included.
