WINKS
Windows KwikStat (WINKS) is a statistical analysis software package. It was first marketed in 1988 as a shareware program under the name KWIKSTAT by the Cedar Hill–based company TexaSoft for DOS. It was originally programmed in GW-BASIC and was capable of calculating chi-squares, crosstabs, F-distributions, five-number summaries, medians, p-values, regressions, standard deviations, and variances.[1] It was ported to Windows in 1996, where it was given the name Windows KwikStat, or simply WINKS.[2][3]
Starting with version 4.0 of KWIKSTAT and carried onto WINKS, the software was sold in two editions: the Basic Edition includes data handling and statistical analysis that include basic statistical procedures and the Professional Edition include a number of more advanced procedures.[4][5] A special Time Series version of WINKS is available in support of the book Applied Time Series Analysis from CRC Press.[6]
