Eviews
EViews continues to set the standard for econometric analysis, forecasting and modeling software. The goal in designing EViews was to make it both powerful and intuitive. A wide range of statistical and graphical techniques had to be made available without requiring users to memorise complicated command syntax or navigate layers and layers of menus. The solution is an innovative object-oriented user interface.

Eviews is used for general statistical analysis, time series estimation and forecasting, cross-section or panel data analysis, large scale model simulation, presentation graphics or simple data management.

Forecast Pro
Forecast Pro is a standalone forecasting package which is designed to make your work easier, quicker and more accurate. It can be used in all situations, including forecasting sales, revenues, demand for service or any other important variable. Forecast Pro does not require a background in statistics or forecasting, but it still retains the power needed by experts through its expert selection mode. Forecast Pro uses proven forecasting techniques: moving averages, exponential smoothing, Box-Jenkins and dynamic regression to ensure that your data is as helpful and accurate as possible.

CART
CART is an acronym for Classification and Regression Trees, a decision-tree procedure introduced in 1984 by world-renowned UC Berkeley and Stanford statisticians, Leo Breiman, Jerome Friedman, Richard Olshen, and Charles Stone.

CART uses an intuitive, Windows based interface, making it accessible to both technical and non technical users. Underlying the “easy” interface, however, is a mature theoretical foundation that distinguishes CART from other methodologies and other decision trees. CART is the only decision tree system based on the original CART code developed by world renowned Stanford University and University of California at Berkeley statisticians; this code now includes enhancements that were o-developed by Salford Systems and ART’s originators.
