GAUSS is a matrix programming language for mathematics and statistics, developed and marketed by Aptech Systems. Its primary purpose is the solution of numerical problems in statistics, econometrics, time-series, optimization and 2D- and 3D-visualization. It was first published in 1984 for MS-DOS and is currently also available for Linux, macOS and Windows.
Gauss programs are not required to have any particular file extension, although .gss is recommended.[1]
Examples of Functions Included in Run-Time Library
- GAUSS has several Application Modules as well as functions in its Run-Time Library (i.e., functions that come with GAUSS without extra cost)
- Qprog – Quadratic programming
- SqpSolvemt – Sequential quadratic programming
- QNewton - Quasi-Newton unconstrained optimization
- EQsolve - Nonlinear equations solver
GAUSS Applications
A range of toolboxes are available for GAUSS at additional cost. See https://www.aptech.com/products/gauss-applications/ for complete listing of products.
| Algorithmic Derivatives | A program for generating GAUSS procedures for computing algorithmic derivatives. |
| Constrained Maximum Likelihood MT | Solves the general maximum likelihood problem subject to general constraints on the parameters. |
| Constrained Optimization | Solves the nonlinear programming problem subject to general constraints on the parameters. |
| CurveFit | Nonlinear curve fitting. |
| Descriptive Statistics | Basic sample statistics including means, frequencies and crosstabs. This application is backwards compatible with programs written with Descriptive Statistics 3.1 |
| Descriptive Statistics MT | Basic sample statistics including means, frequencies and crosstabs. This application is thread-safe and takes advantage of structures. |
| Discrete Choice | A statistical package for estimating discrete choice and other models in which the dependent variable is qualitative in some way. |
| FANPAC MT | Comprehensive suite of GARCH (Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedastic) models for estimating volatility. |
| Linear Programming MT | Solves small and large scale linear programming problems |
| Linear Regression MT | Least squares estimation. |
| Loglinear Analysis MT | Analysis of categorical data using log-linear analysis. |
