Statistical Software
Mann Library provides the following programs for statistical analysis, as well as related programs in systems dynamics and modeling. CISER also has a variety of statistical resources. The Cornell Statistical Consulting Unit maintains a list of statistical software availability across the Cornell campus.
The most commonly used software programs are:
Mann Library has manuals for most of these programs; they can be found on the Stone Computing area refence book shelf. You may also want to look up these programs in the Library Catalog, since there are many online versions of help manuals available in the Books 24x7 web site. Simply do a keyword search for the name of the program. (Please note: you have to enter Books 24x7 from the Library Catalog to view the full text.)
