Statistical packages are software titles, such as JMP and GNU Octave, and programming languages, such as MATLAB, R and SAS, that are used to discover, explore and analyze data and suggest useful conclusions, either to learn something unexpected or to confirm a hypothesis. The field includes the design and analysis of techniques to give approximate but accurate solutions to hard problems in statistics, econometrics, time-series, optimization and 2D- and 3D-visualization. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains.

Statistical Packages

The Statistical Analysis System (SAS) programs consist of two steps, the DATA step and the PROC step. The DATA step reads data and prepares it for use by subsequent DATA or PROC steps. A SAS procedure (PROC) is a collection of statements that execute a certain task. SAS procedures have their own statements and commands, but many are shared among procedures. JMP is the graphical user interface for SAS, and is used in applications such as Six Sigma, quality control and engineering, design of experiments and scientific research.

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
