Integrating statistical software into laboratories and laboratory courses

Reasonable quality statistical software that is easy to use and easy to learn to use is available, and more will become available. This paper describes nine features of statistical software programs that make such programs easy to use. Some methods for evaluating the capability, accuracy, and speed of statistical software are discussed. In addition, some issues about university and software company support are considered. Finally, a technique for integrating software into laboratories is presented.
