GAUSS resources

GAUSS is a powerful matrix programming language by Aptech Systems. This programming language is very popular with econometricians. Unfortunately, there is not much instruction material available to learn GAUSS. Hence, I wrote 'A Short Introduction to GAUSS for Windows', which provides a simple introduction to GAUSS. This book is ideally suited for self-study and assumes no previous knowledge of GAUSS. This 92-page booklet can be ordered using an online order form directly from the author.

The mailing list is archived in gopher format (GAUSS mailing list archive), and this archive is also available in html: GAUSS mailing list archive 1995 GAUSS mailing list archive 1996 GAUSS mailing list archive 1997 GAUSS mailing list archive 1998 GAUSS mailing list archive 1999 GAUSS mailing list archive 2000 search the GAUSS mailing list archive a downloadable zip-file with the mailing list archive over the 1995-1999 period, in compiled html-format The PlayW-utility to convert GAUSS graphics to graphics that can be imported in Microsoft Word is not completely functional. The easiest way to include a GAUSS graphic into a Word document is to convert the graphic to an HPGL-file. This file can be read into a Word document if a filter is installed that processes HPGL-files. This filter is described on Microsoft Support Pages. bjl.g a procedure that calculates the test statistic for testing normality in univariate probit models kernel, a simple library for kernel estimation in GAUSS reject, some GAUSS procedures for rejection sampling from any arbitrary log-concave density k_tau.g, a procedure to calculate Kendall's tau statistic
