GAUSS - Platforms and Limitations

GAUSS for Windows

The latest addition to the GAUSS family. Now you can have the power of 32-bit GAUSS on your PC in a multitasking - windowing environment.

Suggested Platforms: Windows NT/2000/XP


GAUSS for UNIX Workstations

Currently available for IBM RS6000, HP Apollo 9000, DEC Alpha, Sun SPARC, Sun Solaris for x86, and now Linux, GAUSS for UNIX combines the computational power of GAUSS with the advanced capabilities of the UNIX X-Windows computing environment.


GAUSS Light

GAUSS Light provides an economical way for users who don't work with extremely large matrices and who do not need to produce stand-alone applications to access the power of GAUSS. Embodying the same programming language and functions as its full blown counterpart, GAUSS Light is compatible with all current GAUSS applications. Programs written in GAUSS Light are interchangeable with the comparable version of GAUSS within the matrix and workplace limitations of GAUSS Light (see the table below).

Available on Windows and UNIX platforms.


GAUSS Applications

Optional Applications written in GAUSS are available. These powerful tools will get you up and running quickly, providing powerful analysis solutions with little or no programming effort. Each Application includes the complete GAUSS source code so you can modify and extend them to suit your exact requirements.

Here are some of the things you can do with GAUSS and optional Applications: Optimization, Maximum likelihood estimation, Linear programming, Loglinear models, EIGEN systems, Factorizations (QR Cholesky, LU), Decompositions (SVD and Schur), Equation Solving, Cumulative distribution functions, Autoregression, Time-series cross sectional models, Co-integration models, Rational expectation models, 2 & 3 stage least squares, ARIMA models, Bessel functions, Nonlinear systems of equations, Differential equations, Multinomial logit analysis, Probit analysis, Ordered probit and logit, Exponential duration model with censoring, Descriptive statistics, Limited dependent variable models, Covariance structure analysis, Curve fitting.
