[Gretl-users] Comparative market research query request

Dear Sir / Madam, Employed as a statistician in a major Russian oil producing company (Rosneft), I am currently working with a project that incorporates some market research for the world's most popular statistical software. Precisely, I am interested in what features commonly used in statistics and statistical software are implemented in which software. The list of software in the market was taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_software and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_statistical_packages. Since it is virtually impossible to collect the necessary information only from the products' web sites, I would like to inquire if you could help me by filling in a small table of features (see attached MS Excel file) that apply to your product. This favor is purely voluntary, so please just disregard this request if you do not have time and/or a willing to assist me in this task. If you do have kindness and patience to fill in the form, please be so kind as to send it back to me, appropriately filled as shown in the example provided in the file. Thank you for your patience while reading this letter! Kindest regards, Iskander Shafikov Junior Research Assistant Dept. of Reservoir Engineering and Production Monitoring RN-UfaNIPIneft Ltd., Rosneft Oil Company <http://www.rosneft.com/>
