Statgraphics is a statistics package that performs and explains basic and advanced statistical functions.
History
The software was created in 1980 by Dr. Neil W. Polhemus while on the Princeton University School of Engineering and Applied Science faculty as a teaching tool for his statistics students. It was made available to the public in 1982, becoming an early example of data science software designed for use on the PC.
