Re: [Gretl-users] Gretl and MBA Statistics

It might be bit much. While econometrics, time series, and such can be done easily. Above that level, you are going to have to do scripting, which scares many MBA students. I have the same problem if I use R. However, to do useful work, your students are going to have to use some statistical program that requires scripting. Think those who use SAS procs versus those who use SPSS. Excel as an alternative is a problem, since the inaccuracies for statistics are all documented. I use Gretl in my MBA managerial economics course: econometrics and time series mostly. I am using R more and more though. If you search back through the posts on this forum, you will find some that say that gretl is working toward the functionality of R. Remember that SAS, Gretl, and R are more accurate than "easy-to-use" Excel. Have fun. On Dec 7, 2012, at 5:07 PM, Logan Kelly <logan.kelly(a)uwrf.edu&gt; wrote:
