The Wolfram Solution for Econometrics
Rapidly create interactive test models, analyze data and seamlessly scale up to large, high-powered simulations—all in one system, with one integrated workflow.
The Wolfram econometrics solution is unique in providing built-in, ready-to-use economic data alongside powerful statistical analysis tools, built-in parallel processing and state-of-the-art symbolic and numerical computation.
- The Wolfram Edge
- How Wolfram Compares
- Key Capabilities
Wolfram technologies include thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:
- Analyze stationary and nonstationary time series data
- Compute Monte Carlo simulations, bootstrap analysis, probability estimations and more
- Solve computationally intensive Bayesian statistics problems
- Estimate with spatial autoregressive panel data models
- Model the macroeconomic effects of federal interest rate cuts, tax policy, currency devaluation and more
- Price American, European and exotic derivatives using Monte Carlo simulation
Does your current tool set have these advantages?
-
Complete workflow, from data import to analysis to interactive document or slide show, all in one system
R, SAS, Minitab and other software do not support a complete workflow in a single environment -
Built-in current and historical financial, socioeconomic and other data ready for computation without preprocessing
Built-in data combined with high-powered computation is unique to Wolfram technologies -
Instant creation of dynamic interfaces that allow you to vary parameters and gain useful insights from datasets
Unique to Wolfram technologies -
Automated precision control and arbitrary-precision numerics produce highly accurate results
Microsoft Excel and other systems that rely on finite-precision numerics can cause serious errors due to lack of precision -
Powerful symbolic statistical computation and built-in functions for all standard statistical distributions
R, STATA and other numerical systems do not include symbolic functionality -
Seamless integration of numerics, symbolics, interactive graphics and all other computational aspects in one document
