I need a statistics software for my PhD in linguistics. It should be:\n\n- completely free\n- user-friendly\n- downloadable\n- preferably explaining stuff too\n\nWho can recommend a software which they have used.\n\nI can search for free software on the Internet myself. I need a genuine answer from users/students.

Check out http://www.r-project.org.  \n\nFree.  Installation gets more user-friendly if you read the FAQ first.  Downloadable.  The website lists some good books.

I used to use Abyss (I think that's what it was called).  It's free and it worked fine.\nhttp://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/

I kindly suggest you go limewire.com and download the software and install then search with sensible keywords and get what you want. I have found lots of molecular biology, biotechnology, neurology, immunology etc. e-books as well as some "nature" papers as well. I do not think any site that  publishes science e-books( well, any comprehensive e-books) without a significant charge for it exist. \nTake care

I can't think of any good ones that are free, however, I would go with Instant Immersion's products. They're really useful, and I learned a lot with their Japanese programs. \n\nBuy their original Japanese product, then buy the Japanese 2.0, and then buy their Japanese workbook. Each ranges from ten to twenty USD, so altogether it shouldn't cost more than $40.\n\nHope this helps!

Sure, absolutely.\n\nMATLAB is vector & matrix based, which is useful for many kinds of problems.\n\nThere are many built in functions, for probability and statistics, maybe even for your specific application.  Check mathworks.com\n\nThe graphing capabilities are excellent for visualizing data.\n\nAlso checkout Simulink.

Hey Mario E.,\n\n This is a hard one you're asking here. Can you imagine all the effort involved in gathering those data?\n You may want to limit your scope to a group of institutions in a town.\n You may want to start by contacting your local college and their foreign languages departments.

This is not the best place to ask for help. Meet your faculty advisor, or best - meet your Stats professor. Personally I think the best approach is to just take a book, and solve the problems in it to ace Stats.

Hi there, \nMy mom is using a software that is called Talk Now! English.  She says the programs included in this package are really helpful and entertaining.  She's learned a lot. Of course, she also has books on tapes, and I make her practice her English with me.

I just finished a computer theory class, and during the term I bookmarked a few pages.  For context free grammers I liked the following pages:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-free_grammar\nhttp://www.laynetworks.com/Context%20Free%20Grammar.htm\n\nHope this helps, and is what you are looking for.

I really don't know of one off the top of my head, but here is a site I came across once. I don't know if it works. Good luck.   http://members.aol.com/softwaresc/stats.htm

Software developers working on natural language programs need linguists. \n\nSpeech recognition software companies need linguists too. \n\nRecently some political gurus have employed linguists to find out which words have a great impact on the audience.
