The name Matlab is short for Matrix Laboratory. As this name implies, Matlab uses matrices as its fundamental building blocks to carry out high performance numerical analysis, signal processing and scientific visualization tasks. Mathworks, Inc. Once used mostly for instructional purposes, Minitab has upgraded its software to make it more user-friendly and useful for the researcher while simultaneously keeping the small disk space and RAM requirements that has made it a favorite with instructors.
Mplus is used for modeling linear structural relations among latent unobserved and manifest observed variables. Mplus is useful for databases with categorical outcome variables and clustered or hierarchical data multilevel models. R can be downloaded freely HERE. SAS is a full-featured information delivery product.
Statistical analyses, data mining, high-resolution graphics, and matrix operations are among a few of its many features. This is the most powerful software we support, but also the most difficult to master. SPSS is the most popular general statistical package on campus. Plus: Have you ever wondered exactly which equations SPSS uses to calculate a Wilcoxon sign-rank test, to perform a K-means cluster analysis, or to produce a Greenhouse-Geisser test of within-subject effects?
Now you can find out in the SPSS algorithms document. Lean on disk space requirements yet packed with advanced statistical features, Stata is a favorite among analysts who have clustered or hierarchical data and data obtained via non-random sampling methods such as stratified sampling. SUDAAN is a program designed to perform analyses of clustered hierarchically structured data or responses obtained via non-random sampling processes. This is the physicist's approach whether it involves studies of the early universe or the color of the sky.
Undergraduate Computer Facility. The Physics Department operates the Physics Microcomputer Laboratory for undergraduate students taking physics courses. This facility is located in PMA 7.
The software in the facility is tailored to fit the needs and interests of students enrolled in physics courses. Weekly colloquia related to topics in physics are given each Wednesday at 4 pm during the fall and spring semesters. Undergraduate students are epecially welcome to attend. These are small class-setting conference courses open to physics majors. Freshmen and sophomores are strongly encouraged to take these seminars each semester.
Please take a moment to explore our undergraduate student pages by clicking on the items in the upper left menu on this page. You will find links to physics student organizations, course information, advising and funding. Physics has several faculty advisors who are available for advice on coursework research options, careers, or anything about UT. Click on the links below for more information.
