Some Statistics-Related Downloads For Windows
So you want to work from home eh? I guess that means Wes and I won't be seeing you in the library as much. To make life easier as you're trying to finish Brian's 754 or Dr. Rohde's 774 homework, here are some links to programs that can help a bunch! The links to the executables are all here, so if you right click and hit "Save Target As..." you should be able to get the programs pretty easily. (Assuming of course that the links are still working and that Bill Gates has gotten to you and you're using MS Explorer. Netscape 7.0 Users should right click and hit "Save Link Target As...") Any suggestions / updates? -- email me at mgriswol@jhsph.edu
Good Luck,
Mike
