Please, take notice of new version of Matrixer econometric software. System requirements: Windows 95/98/2000/NT Current version: 4.0 beta Size: 527 Kb (zip) Author: Alexander Tsyplakov Matrixer sites: matrixer.narod.ru and mtxr.hypermart.net E-mail: [log in to unmask] What's Matrixer supposed to do? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Matrixer is a piece of software especially suited for teaching econometrics and doing medium-scale applied research. Position it somewhere between EViews and EasyReg (both in price and functionality). The program provides many classical as well as more recent econometric techniques and models # Linear regression # Binomial logit and probit # Poisson regression # Regression with multiplicative heteroskedasticity # GARCH regression # Regression with ARMA errors # Box-Jenkins model (ARIMA) # (Generalized) instrumental variables estimator # Nonparametric regression # Nonparametric density estimation # Quantile regression # Simultaneous equations, 2SLS, FIML and 3SLS # Nonlinear regression # Method of maximum likelihood The program includes many other helpful features to handle and analyze data # Descriptive statistics (mean, variance, etc.) # Various data plots # Visual data description (histogram, spectral density estimate, autocorrelation function) # Table of correlations between variables # Probability calculator (normal, Student t, chi-square, Fisher F) # Dickey-Fuller test (additional files are needed) # Vector and matrix operations (that is why it was called Matrixer). # Small build-in programming language for writing macros # Table editor # Fast drawing of function plots according to formulas # Import data from text files # History of commands About the current beta version ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The program originally had Russian interface. Recently it was translated into English. Translation of the help file is now in progress. As soon as it will be finished the first complete English version will be released. The program is planned to be shareware. Price will be approximately $30-$40 per copy. The current beta version has two limitations. First, it has very short help file. However, any person with average computer skills would be able to use it, because Matrixer is menu-driven. Second, the number of observations was artificially limited to a maximum of 400. This was made in order to encourage paying for the future complete version of Matrixer. The purpose of releasing this beta is to test whether the English translation of the program interface is adequate. The author would be grateful for comments and bug reports. Several parts of Matrixer help system are available at Matrixer sites as HTML. Please, spend a minute to look through them to find possible language errors.
