Symbolic Tools: for GAUSS and GAUSS Engine

Econotron Web for further details

Econotron Software
The concept behind Symbolic Tools is to augment the numeric and graphical capabilities of the GAUSS Mathematical & Statistical System (TM) and GAUSS Engine (TM) with additional types of mathematical functionality based on symbolic computations.

The computational work is carried out by the Maple kernel using the Open Maple API. Maple is a symbolic mathematics package developed at the University of Waterloo.  Symbolic Tools provides for an interface between GAUSS and the Maple Kernel.  This interface permits code to be evaluated symbolically in Maple, and the results returned to GAUSS, or to create a GAUSS proc based on Maple's symbolic results.One of the main uses of Symbolic Tools is to enable GAUSS to undertake Automatic Differentiation. Optimization packages, such as Aptech's Maximum Likelihood, Constrained Maximum Likelihood, Optimization, and Nonlinear Equations GAUSS Applications, can use procedures that return the gradient and/or Hessian, instead of doing forward differencing.

Platform:  Windows 
Requires: GAUSS Mathematical & Statistical System v4.0+ for Windows or GAUSS Engine v4.0+ for Windows and Maple 9 or higher

CtrlGauss 1.0: Control Systems Transformation & Analysis

Forward Software Web for further details

Forward Software
This application allows you to transform linear system models between various representations such as pole-zero form, transfer function form and state-space form. It also allows you to build up complex multi-input- multi-output linear systems from smaller blocks. Both continuous and discrete systems are supported. On the analysis side, CtrlGauss allows you to analyze the system by looking at it's time response, its frequency response, or the way the poles vary with the system gain. Singular value and eigenvalue responses are supported. Using the analysis function to guide your choice of compensators you can carry out frequency domain and pole-zero designs with this application module.
CtrlGauss is ideal for anyone interested in analyzing the response of linear systems. Control systems and economic models are just two possible applications.
CtrlGauss and SimGauss are designed to work together.

QP 1.0: Quadratic Programming

RJS Software
QP solves the standard quadratic programming problem: min{1/2x'Qx - x'R}, subject to constraints: Ax = B and Cx >= D, with bounds: Xl <= x <= Xu, where x is a vector of unknown coefficients, and Q, R, A, B, C, D, Xl, and Xu are known matrices.Constrained least squares is a special case of the the quadratic programming problem. CLSQ is a procedure included in the QP module for computing constrained least squares regression estimates. The ability to specify inequality constraints and to place bounds on the coefficients is unique to this procedure and not available in other GAUSS applications. CLSQ also computes the correct standard errors of the constrained coefficients.
