The
GAUSS™ Mathematical and Statistical System
The GAUSS Mathematical and Statistical
System is a fast matrix
programming language widely used by
scientists, engineers,
statisticians, biometricians, econometricians,
and financial analysts.
Designed for computationally intensive tasks,
the GAUSS system is
ideally suited for the researcher who does not
have the time required
to develop programs in C/C++ or FORTRAN but
finds that most statistical
or mathematical “packages” are not flexible or
powerful enough to
perform complicated analysis or to work on
large problems.
Whatever mathematical tool or language you are
now using, you’ll find that GAUSS can greatly
increase your productivity!
Comprehensive Environment for
Modeling and Analysis
GAUSS is a complete analysis
environment
suitable for performing quick calculations,
complex analysis of
millions of data points, or anything in
between. Whether you are new to
computerized analysis or a seasoned
programmer, the GAUSS family of
products combine to offer you an easy to learn
environment that is
powerful and versatile enough for virtually
any numerical task. Since
its introduction in 1984, GAUSS has been a
standard for serious number
crunching and complex modeling of large-scale
data.
Worldwide acceptance and use in government,
industry and the academic
community is a firm testament to its power and
versatility. The GAUSS
System can be described several ways: It is an
exceptionally efficient
number cruncher, a comprehensive programming
language, and an
interactive analysis environment. GAUSS may be
the only numerical tool
you will ever need.
Interactive and
Fast
For
simple problems GAUSS provides a fully
interactive environment for
exploring data, creating scenarios and
analyzing results. For more
complex tasks, you can write programs and save
them to disk. GAUSS is
exceptionally fast, providing performance
comparable to compiled C or
FORTRAN programs. And unlike other math
packages, GAUSS’ speed is
equally impressive when working with problems
of very large scale.
Straightforward
and Efficient
While
many GAUSS users never find a need to program
extensively, for those
who do, GAUSS provides a natural and logical
environment that is easy
to learn and powerful to use. At the core of
GAUSS is an efficient
programming language adequate for doing even
the most sophisticated
analysis. The basic unit of analysis in GAUSS
is a matrix, resulting in
a syntax closely resembling common
mathematical expressions. Since
matrix operations are assumed, most of the
looping required by other
languages is eliminated. The Data Translation
Loop allows
transformations on variables in a data set by
directly using the
variable names in expressions. This
streamlines data transformations
and makes for shorter, more readable programs.
GAUSS’s Source Level
Debugger greatly simplifies program
development. With all of the
features you would expect in a dedicated
debugging system, you can
quickly identify and solve program logic
errors at run time.
The Language
As a
complete
programming language, the GAUSS system is both
flexible and powerful.
Immediately available to the GAUSS user is a
wide variety of
statistical, mathematical and matrix handling
routines. GAUSS can be
used either interactively for short one-off
commands or by creating
large programs consisting of several files and
libraries of functions,
or anything in between.
Visualization
and Presentation
GAUSS’s high resolution graphics gives you
powerful ways to visually
analyze your data and present your findings. A
wide choice of graphing
options are available to you, including 2D,
3D, surface, contour, polar
and log graphs, as well as bar graphs,
histograms, box graphs and more.
Graphs can be placed in individual overlapping
or tiled windows on a
single page. You can export graphics files in
a number of popular
formats, including JPEG, SVG, PNG, HP-GL/2,
PostScript and EPS formats,
for use in page layout and presentation
packages, and GAUSS includes
support for a wide range of output devices.
The Tools You Need
GAUSS has over 400 highly-optimized mathematical
functions
built in, including LAPACK, EISPACK and BLAS
routines, factorizations,
decompositions, eigenvalues, distributions and
equation solving
functions, to provide you with all the tools you
need to solve your
most difficult problems. You can easily
customize or add to the GAUSS
function library, and optional modules provide
access to many other
specialized capabilities.
The GAUSS Run-Time Module (GRTM) allows users to
distribute GAUSS
applications that they have written to people
who do not have GAUSS.
Developers distribute a compiled file to end
users along with the GRTM.
This is available with GAUSS at no extra charge.
Other important features include: data
import/export compatibility with
spreadsheets, long period random number
generators, built-in functions
for efficiently handling sparse data, and a
Foreign Language Interface
for incorporating your favorite compiled C and
FORTRAN programs
directly into GAUSS programs.
