Portfolio Probe



Requirements

The Portfolio Probe package requires either R or S-PLUS.

You can download R for free via The R Project website.
There are commercial versions of R as well, see Suppported versions of R.

You can purchase S-PLUS from TIBCO http://spotfire.tibco.com

(Actually, you can do without R or S-PLUS by embedding the optimization in a C or C++ function that you write, but that is really, really not recommended.)


Platforms

Currently the only available platform is 32-bit Windows. Other platforms will eventually be added. If you are interested in a particular platform, feel free to send an email to patrick@burns-stat.com.


Prices

The prices quoted below are the special introductory prices. These will stay in effect through the first quarter of 2010, after which the price will be some multiple of the quoted prices. In order to be eligible for the lower price, you either need to request an invoice by 2010 March 31, or request an invoice within the 30-day demo period of a demo that started by 2010 March 31.
