LIMDEP is a Complete Econometrics Package
LIMDEP takes the form of an econometrics studio. Analysis of a data set is done interactively in a set of windows. Program control may be from a 'script' or in an unstructured session of instructions and manipulations. The program is designed to allow easy setup of data for estimation, specification of different forms of the models, experimentation with different specifications, hypothesis testing, analysis of data and model results and construction of special procedures and estimators.
LIMDEP offers a complete set of tools for econometric analysis. In addition to the estimation programs, LIMDEP provides:
- Data management, including input from all standard sources (such as Excel), all manner of transformations and sample controls
- Built-in estimation programs plus a programming language, matrix algebra package and scientific calculator that allow you to write your own estimators, test statistics and simulation and analysis programs
- Random number, vector and matrix capabilities for bootstrapping, Gibbs sampling and Monte Carlo simulation
- A wide range of graphical and numeric descriptive statistics capabilities
- Optimization tools that allow you to construct your own likelihood, GMM, or maximum simulated likelihood estimators
