Should I use Statslab (Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge)?

None - statslab.cam.ac.uk

· 1 month ago

Nobody should buy this: statslab.cam.ac.uk is the University of Cambridge's Statistical Laboratory, an academic research group, not software. It suits prospective students and researchers seeking papers and teaching; it is not a tool any team can deploy.

Confidence

High. Based on 14 public sources; most 'StatsLab' hits are unrelated products sharing the name. This URL is an academic group, not a commercial product.
