Hi All, I am a statistical newbie but since my business is systems performance I am taking the risky step of being smarter than my boss and applying formulae, often translated to perl, to my collected data. I would be most grateful if you could point me either to 3.6 stuff or other sources that might help. So far I am relying on exceptions from threshold triggers, using linear regression and expn smooting for forecasting. These have their problems though, because systems are fraught with outliers, and these are actully important. The hugeness of this type of data and streaming batch requirements (a contradiction) preclude any $1K+ packages entering the picture. Every thing has to be written in perl. Any clues would by most helpful, thanks in advance. Yours, John van V. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
