Zelig: Everyone's Statistical Software
Description
Zelig is an easy-to-use program that can estimate, and
help interpret the results of, an enormous range of
statistical models. It literally is ``everyone's statistical
software'' because Zelig's simple unified framework
incorporates everyone else's (R) code. We also hope it will
become ``everyone's statistical software'' for applications
and teaching, and so have designed Zelig so that anyone can
easily use it or add their programs to it. Zelig also comes
with infrastructure that facilitates the use of any existing
method, such as by allowing multiply imputed data for any
model, and mimicking the program Clarify (for Stata) that
takes the raw output of existing statistical procedures and
translates them into quantities of direct interest.
