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.
