I wanted to ask the linux community how to make data analysis. The best I've tried is ACL but it's a commercial package and very expensive. How would you manipulate data included in text files for example?. Maybe using python or any programming language?. Or is there any program for Linux that I could use?
Very widely used by the industrial and academic community for data analysis. It was founded by the same smart guys that developed the commercial S-PLUS. Also available for Windows and the Mac, so your analyses are portable.
I tend to use Perl to extract useful sub-sets of data, and then use some other tool for analysis, depending on the task. Usually this means importing into a spreadsheet, or using some graphing package. I'm not usually doing heavy duty stats though.
