Hi everyone.
<div><br></div><div>I have two questions for members of the group.</div><div><br></div><div>1. Is there any coordinated development of statistical analysis tools that are OSS and run on Linux? For example, the R programming language and its application to applied fields such as social statistics or epidemiology? I am looking for an OSS solution similar to SPSS (user friendly), Stata or SAS (powerful), or Design Expert (specific to experimental design).</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. Are there any Masters Programs in Israel in the fields of applied statistics (biostatistics, epidemiology, medical statistics, social statistics, actuarial sciences or demographics)? I am more interested in the sciences (that is the first 3 on the list), and if I can find a good program that would take a scientist (that is, not a mathematician of CS major) and train him at a reasonable cost, I will be the happiest man alive for about 5 minutes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you know where, how, when, how much, etc., let me know, via my email or the group.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Z.</div>
